Captain Ed on Rummy and Kerry

On the heels of a WashPost poll showing wide majorities of Americans believe that Donald Rumsfeld should not resign, Captain Ed notes how Kerry’s cynical ploy has now backfired:

Kerry, who just yesterday called for Rumsfeld's removal, obviously has some explaining to do. His rush to judgment demonstrates his lack of seriousness regarding the war on terror and in leadership. He had the chance to show some genuine leadership by calling for passions to cool until Rumsfeld had a chance to respond and more facts became known. Once again, he put his presidential aspirations ahead of his nation's security and tried to exploit a bad situation for his own personal gain.

Indeed.
