This Slate piece is a must read for anyone who has grown tired of Rumsfeld's ineptitude, Congress' inability or unwillingness to do something about Iraq or in general questions the planning and oversight of the war. It was bad enough when Rumsfeld would answer questions with folksy rhetorical questions of his own but now no one seems to be asking any questions at all.

The administration is clearly not up to the task it created but nothing has changed to correct the course. Congress, for all it's worry over balance of power among the three branches is unable to hold up its end. Vietnam was lost partly because our government tried to do too much. Iraq will be lost if we don't do enough. Major policy decisions need to be made but no one seems willing or able to do it. Fire Rumsfeld already and get someone with the ability to learn from mistakes and listen to the advice of experts to take over.
