Senator Lott: Replace Rumsfeld

Here's another vote of "no confidence" in U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld: "U.S. Senator Trent Lott doesn't believe Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should resign immediately, but he does think Rumsfeld should be replaced sometime in the next year. 'I'm not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld,' Lott, R-Mississippi, told the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning. 'I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.'"
