WASHINGTON - Top members of President Bush's national security team are leaving in one of the earliest waves of departures from a second-term administration — nearly two years before Bush's term ends.
As rancor in the nation rises over handling of the war in Iraq, at least 20 senior aides have either retired or resigned from important posts at the White House, Pentagon and State Department in the past six months.
Some have left for lucrative positions in the private sector. Some have gone to academic or charitable institutions. The latest was Deputy National Security Adviser J.D. Crouch, who spoke favorably of Bush's policies as he announced he was leaving last week.

Obviously there are at least 20 smart senior aides to know when to leave because it is such a mess.
Well...With all of these aides leaving who will replace Wolfie at the bank? Don't tell me Gonzales, he still has a job...lol

Yes, it is sad that there will be more deaths. But, that is a very stupid remark by the WH to say that expect more casualities. These are human beings for crying out loud, not numbers!!! Yes, the aides know that it is time to bail out.

Thanks for sharing the video! LOL!
"Don't tell me Gonzales, he still has a job...lol"
Don't be too sure about Gonzo. The Congressional Committee will be much tougher on Gonzo when he gives his testimony.
And the Gerbil's cabinet members and aides leaving in droves? Well, at least this will clear the problem of unemployment in this country.
Well I hope that he doesn't get out of it. There is enough evidence to go on the whole bush cabinet...like the Nuremburg trials...
