Dave E.:

Digby knows why:

"Bush's Secret War-
I really think it's possible that Bush and Rummy have already got a secret war going on, one that has not been revealed to congress in any form. It's designed that way. Bush is not going to fire Rummy --- he can't. He's already committed himself to this thing. This could be the ultimate action of the unitary executive."

and:

"Black Reconnaissance -
It's obvious to me that this call for Rumsfeld's resignation by six generals is about stopping this operation in Iran first and foremost. It is not a coincidence that the first salvo came from Sy Hersh last Sunday
[...]
The problem may be that Bush can't replace the person who is running his secret war."

It's persuasive (and frightening) reasoning, but it seems all too plausible given what we know.

Anyway, hope you're doing well Jim.
