INSIDE THE BELTWAY KNIFE-FIGHTING

The latest rumor that Rumsfeld is supposedly on his way out. This is yet another example of the rumor mill cranking up and being reported as "news." The Donald was supposed to be on his way out weeks after being sworn in as the only man to hold the job of defense secretary twice. As I said before, Rumsfeld will remain where he is long as he has the confidence of the President and there is no indication W.'s view of him has slipped in any way. My guess as to the leakers: disgruntled Pentagon types or White House staffers seeking to ingratiate themselves with the Fourth Estate.

The first rule of the Pentagon is that we don't talk about the Pentagon.

Or something like that.

the Prez of Iran could face Sec Lieberman. !;-})
