US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has stepped down as defence secretary, a day after congressional elections in which opposition to the war in Iraq contributed to heavy Republican party losses.
President George Bush said he would nominate Robert Gates, a former CIA director, to replace Rumsfeld at the Pentagon.
As is his practice in matters of love as well as life, Bush was premature with his announcement before Lieberman could be sworn in for the new term. Robert Gates better not get too comfortable in that leather chair.
