Bush Speech: Take Two: "I have today asked for and received the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld as secretary of Defense. His successor will be chosen in consultation with the leadership of both parties in Congress, in the interests of establishing consensus for our remaining tasks in Iraq.
I will tomorrow ask the United Nations to establish a transitional trusteeship for Iraq, so that wide international commitment can be enlisted in bringing a new Iraq into being.
And I am announcing now that I will neither seek nor accept my party's nomination for a second term as your president. "
