Shrewd assessment or wishful thinking from William Kristol? Daniel Drezner Via Dan Froomkin, there's an article by Guy Dinmore in the Financial Times suggesting that Donald Rumsfeld is on his way out as well. Well, it's not the FT saying this so much as William Kristol: "William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, said he saw a "slightly softer version of Bush politics" over the next four years. He also predicted that Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of defence, would resign, as President George W. Bush wanted to redress "the complete dysfunctionality of State and Defence and the refusal of Powell and Rumsfeld to work together". If confirmed, Mr Rumsfeld's removal would also mark what Mr Kristol called an "intellectual victory" for the neo-conservatives who railed against the defence secretary's opposition to postwar nation building." Kristol has much better inside dope than I, but I've seen little evidence that Rumsfeld wants to leave -- or that Bush wants him to go. Greg Djerejian and Josh Marshall have useful thoughts on Bush's motivations here. danieldrezner.com
