The First Fallout

ABCNews has just reported that in President Bush's 1pm address he will announce Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will be stepping down. Is this the first olive branch in relation to Iraq to be extended to the Democrats and the nation because of yesterday? Or is it just another fig leaf to distract the nation from our "staying the course?"

We'll have a better sense after President Bush addresses the nation at 1pm. Stay tuned.
