WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain will work with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld but said yesterday he has no confidence in him."I want to work with him," the Arizona Republican told "Fox News Sunday."
That isn't a vote of confidence, observed the show's host, Chris Wallace.
"No, it's not," the maverick Republican agreed.
McCain, a former Vietnam prisoner of war who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been critical of Rumsfeld for not putting more troops in to secure Iraq after toppling dictator Saddam Hussein.
He has also faulted Rumsfeld for failing to stop abuses at Abu Ghraib Prison.
But Rumsfeld appears glued to his cabinet seat for at least another year, and the Arizona lawmaker said he "respected" President Bush's decision to keep his Pentagon chief in place.

I wish RINO McCain would go and hide somewhere.
Once again McCain needs to STFU!
McCain..........close to a worthless Senator.
Between campaign finance reform, his bizarre obsession with regulating baseball, and now this... he's beyond worthless.
Ahh.. poor Rummy must 'suffer' this one-among-50-equals McCain vying for attention again.
When you have no purpose and sense of worth, you have to attempt to create one I suppose.
WTH does he mean "he wants to work with him!"
Maybe he should go work with himself for a while...
oops I can't count this early - time for bed.
Retch!

A long, slow marinading can do wonders with tainted meat. But if all else fails, you just boil it for days and cook it down into broth.
Hmmm.... McCain or Rummy? Bye McCain... My money is on our Secretary of Defense any day of the week. He is the MAN!!!
I agree. He's a pain in the ass. If he wants to "work" with Rummy, then Rummy should put the jack-ass in a straight jacket and send him home to tan in the sunshine of sunny AZ. The idiot ranks with AlGore, Slick, Feinstein, Boxer, Sharpton, and ... These people never STFU. Too bad they could not get a job in the commercial sector of the economy and DO something other than suck their salaries from the American public and spill their hypocritical spew.
No disagreement here.
One thing I have observed about McCain is that one can depend on him....to undermine the President in one form or another...after all Rumsfield is the President's choice for Secy of Defense...
He did support the President during the election but he allowed the Kerry flirtation go on far too long for me to trust him ever again.
US Sen Johnnie "No Brain" McCain (RINO-AZ) is a waste of space and time. Why do the AZ idiots keep bringing that liberal buttwiper back?
Worse yet .. how would one like to be in a prison camp with him? I'm not sure who I would trust least ....
I must have missed the recent history where McCain was elected President! Secretary Rumsfeld works for the President, Senator McCain, not you! What a megalomaniac: he wants to run the DoD, is largely responsible for the abomination McCain-Feingold, and wants to regulate baseball too!
