How man Generals does it take?

12 retired U.S. Generals are calling for Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld to resign. They claim that he is basically an arrogant prick who didn't listent to a word anyone else said about how to approach the military operations in Iraq.
These are Generals that fought in Iraq...Generals. Generals are the upper-eschelon of military, to be greatly respected, and according to Bush, the guys to listen to when it comes to military decisions. Now it looks like Bush didn't listen to them, instead he listened to Rumsfeld, who didn't listen to them either. Bush is supporting Rumsfeld, for now at least.
I'm really curious to see how the Right wing machine spins this. Would they go after 12 retired U.S. Generals? I can't imagine how that would work, since they've basically been saying anyone speaking out against the military is unpatriotic for the past 4 years. They can't really go after Rumsfeld since he's one of the big dogs. My guess is that they don't really talk about it unless it gets a lot more attention, and then they'll use the "difference of opinion" argument when talking about the Generals and Rumsfeld.
