McCain: 'No Confidence' in Rumsfeld
17 minutes ago
By BETH DeFALCO, Associated Press Writer
PHOENIX - U.S. Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) said Monday that he has "no confidence" in Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, citing Rumsfeld's handling of the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and the failure to send more troops.
McCain, speaking to The Associated Press in an hourlong interview, said his comments were not a call for Rumsfeld's resignation, explaining that President Bush (news - web sites) "can have the team that he wants around him....

Personally I have no confiDence in McCain's sanity. He was a good soldier during the election, NOW SHUT UP and GET TO WORK DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE!

I get more disgusted with McInsane every day.
Mr. Shark, meet Senator McCain. Senator McCain, meet Mr. Shark.
No, no, no, Senator, MEET him, don't JUMP him! Too late...

The feeling is quite mutual.
Have to make sure that bastard doesn't get anywhere near the nomination in 4 years.
I think it's Rummy's stuttering that did it for him. Rumsfeld could work on a little self confidence. However, I have confidence in him.
That actually might've stung a bit, coming from a Republican. :)
Let me clarify. I have confidence in Rumsfeld, not McCain. McCain could barely make himself endorse Bush this election.
ru4liberty: No Confidence in McCain
Read American Soldier by Gen. Tommy Franks, it gives insight on the dynamics between Rumsfeld and military leaders, administration and anyone else coming into contact with him, interesting man. I don't think he lacks in confidence but he certainly operates at FULL SPEED AHEAD!

And we care what he thinks...why?
