I watch 24 religiously. Are you suggesting Jack Bauer take out Rummy? <g>
I think you are right. It doesnt really matter whether he screwed up or not. But for the record, i think he has by letting War Lite go on way to long. And he is wise ass. But he was our wise ass or at least he used to be. Maybe Kerry will jettison Kennedy one day??
Bush carries the loyalty thing to the extreme i think. Politics is about winning. Thats been my entire point for the past couple of days. Mike

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Thursday that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "will stay in my Cabinet" despite Democratic calls for his departure over abusive treatment of Iraqi prisoners by American military guards.

"Secretary Rumsfeld has served our nation well," Bush told reporters in an appearance in the White House Rose Garden. Speaking slowly for emphasis, he added, "Secretary Rumsfeld has been the secretary during two wars, and he is an important part of my Cabinet."

Bush coupled his remarks with his first outright apology for the mistreatment suffered by Iraqis at the hands of Americans. He said he was "sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation suffered by their families."
