Seems like this was a move by the office of the president to ask the new democrats for "non-partisanship", a sacrificial lamb if you will....

I believe the Japanese refer to this as a 'retrograde maneuver'.

I hate to tell you this, but I doubt Rumsfeld left entirely on his own. He took one for the team.
