Introducing RummyPool™: When Will Rumsfeld Resign or Get Fired?

Let's take a look at the accomplishments of "the best Secretary of Defense the United States has ever had", Donald Rumseld, and then guess when -- despite these achievements -- he'll get fired or "resign":

• Let Osama get away. (Remember him?)
• Got illegal war off on the wrong foot with "decapitation strike" which only served to decapitate a restaurant and middle management.
• "Democracy is untidy" remark opened the door to looting, and ultimately chaos, while he looked on bemusedly and did nothing.
• Has failed to secure the road to the airport in three years.
• Has failed to secure Baghdad in three years.
• Has failed to secure anything except death in three years.
• Management style alienated military leadership, whom he either ignored or intimidated.
• Has resisted calls for resignation with folksy manner that started wearing thin around the time his boss declared Mission Accomplished.

I could go on, but let's skip to the fun part!
