His manner is brusque, but the press is distorting what he says to make him seem cold-hearted. They should not be permitted to control who becomes Secretary of Defense.
Bill Kristol wants him to disappear, but I guess that's what a hard-headed person wants when he disagrees with a person he knows is equally hard-headed.
Kristol is a weenie. I want to know the truth in unvarnished language. Rummy gets it done.
This new attack about the signing of the letters is bunk too. If he wasn't doing such a good job, he would not be able to sign the 10s of thousands of letters we would have to write.
Since when does the SecDef write the letter? It used to be the person's company commander.
He should stay. The Dems and ego-driven Republicans are not leaders. Bush is, and he CANNOT allow the country to be led by liberal consensus. As for Kristol. Does anyone remember how he stabbed Bob Dole in the back during his campaign? And did anyone notice on election night that he went from explaining all the reasons why Bush was probably losing ( while the exit polls were coming in ), then went to telling us how Bush won, after the real results started coming in? He is not the genius many think he is, and attaches too much importance to his opinions. ( my opinion ) Am I alone here?
