I have been very supportive of Bush, but his handling if Rumsfeld has really shaken my faith in him.
He flat out lied about keeping Rumsfeld. I find that hard to accept.
I no longer trust him to deal properly with Iraq. I hope he does, but he seems to be a different person at this point. His courting of the Dems is sickening.
I know, he has to be civil, but he is scaring me.
I pray that I am wrong.
As much as I dislike Rumsfeld being gone, I cannot imagine what would happen if Rumsfeld had to continue his current duties and also go through what surely would be continuous stress of "hearings." If he goes thru the hearings now, at least there is someone totally in charge of the DOD. How do you know it was truly the President's decision?
And for goodness sakes, what is he to do with the Dems now? He has to play ball with them. He's being gracious, which is true to his character.
"He flat out lied about keeping Rumsfeld. I find that hard to accept. "
Hard to dispute that.
