The White House has said it is happy with the way Mr Rumsfeld is handling his job and the situation in Iraq.But the backing comes as the number of retired generals calling for him to be replaced has risen to six.
It is being described as a rebellion led by those who know Mr Rumsfeld's handling of the war from the inside. The two most recent generals to voice their unease about Mr Rumsfeld's handling of the war are retired army Maj Gen John Riggs and retired Maj Gen Charles H Swannack Jr.
Still, he's probably learned from his mistakes, since reflection and improvement seem to be such a feature of the Bush Administration. You don't want to throw away all that experience of hard lessons when we've got a new country to invade before the midterms.
Update: Via The Tennessean, someone else thinks he should go, too.
