Agreed. The President is handling it quite well, I think. I don't think he should have even been annoyed with Rumsfeld - that is the only negative in his handling.

Rush sometimes doesn't know when to fold `em. Then again, he never had to win elections.

More facts are emerging, BTW:

"I don't think he should have even been annoyed with Rumsfeld "

no, he is right to upbraid Rummy on this...this investigation has been going on for months, and the Prez was blind-sided by these pics. He let Rummy know that he let him down. I'm sure Rummy knows this, and has probably offered W his resignation. And I am sure W has rejected it...now they are both ready to move on. Also, W needs to get Rummy, Rice, and Powell together and tell them to get a rein on their staff...he doesn't want to read anymore infighting crap in the newspapers...we're at war, dammit.
