BS. That was MSM/Dem propaganda. SECDEF works for the President. He doesn't do anything the President doesn't want and he certainly does not have the final say on how the war is waged. Rumsfeld is a manufactured scapegoat. Congress, Reps and Dems alike, didn't like the fact that Rumsfeld didn't suffer fools gladly. He didn't sit meekly by and let them make outrageous, untrue statements. I am sorry to see him go. He was Bush's best cabinet appointment.
BUMP! And dittos.
BAR NONE.
