Look to the top:

William Kristol writes an Op-Ed in the Washington Post that is critical of Rumsfeld. Look at what several webloggers have to say about it: (emp add)

• TAPPED (Matthew Yglesias): Bush is the issue here -- every single one of "Rumsfeld's" bad decisions were decisions Bush could have countermanded; indeed, almost all of them were instances where Rumsfeld disagreed with other important actors inside the government and the real national mistake was for Bush to take Rumsfeld's side.
  
  
• The Bull Moose: The Moose applauds Kristol's piece, but would add that the soldiers also deserve a better President than the one we have. That issue, though, has been settled. [...] While the Moose believes that Rummy should go, the buck stops on the President's desk.
  
  
• Eric Alterman: Er, the buck stops with Rumsfeld, says Bill Kristol, not with the guy who appointed him, retained him, and continues despite everything, to express full confidence in him.
