Bush Administration had more moments when his cabinet members should have resigned
They should have resigned, but even then, they didn't.

OK, you're the President, and a disaster of happens to your government that is so disastrous that you need to change government officials to keep going, sometimes to look credible even.

Kennedy got rid of CIA Director Allen Dulles, deputy CIA director Charles Cabell, and Deputy Director of Operations Richard Bissell to resign after the failed Bay of Pigs fiasco.

Carter asked his entire cabinet to resign after the energy crisis in 1979.

What moments are there when Bush Administration officials should have resigned or have been fired by Bush?

A lot of them.

9/11:
Who's numero uno on this one? Condoleezza Rice, that's who.
She utterly failed on 9/11, yet she was allowed to remain.
Dick Cheney should have also resigned, you see, he was the head of an Anti-Terrorism task force that apparently never met.

Enron and the Energy Task Force:
Dick Cheney

When it became apparent that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq:
Condoleezza Rice ("Mushroom Clouds")
Dick Cheney
George Tenet

Rumsfeld should have resigned much earlier too, we're going to be dealing with the ramifications of this for a long time either way though.

When most people fail in their responsibilities, they are fired, not promoted as Rice was.

1. Rice is frantically globe-trotting trying to undo the chimp's damage.
They are still not back where Clinton left off.
