Bush stands by Rumsfeld on Iraq
US President George W Bush has given his backing to Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who has been criticised for his handling of the conflict in Iraq.By whom? Anyone that mattered? I thought not. Leading Republican senators have asked whether Mr Rumsfeld still has the trust of the military after he admitted using a machine to sign condolence letters. So they haven't revealed that they, too, use the same type of machines themselves? How, uh, disingenuous and Dhimmidonkish of them. Earlier this month, Mr Rumsfeld faced questioning from marines over alleged inadequacies in their kit. A sham which, as fact turns out, was a red herring (the armoring was almost completed)... and no one has paid much attention to the fact that Rummy has the stones to stand in front of his people and take their issues, questions, hot grief, and even barbed sham put-up staged bullshit, like a man. President Bush has praised Mr Rumsfeld for doing "a really fine job". Agreed. He told reporters during his end-of-year address that he asked the defence secretary to continue in office for his second term because he had faith in his ability to perform a complex job. Offensive and Defensive Coordinator for the most demanding team on the planet. Yeah, he's good. "It's complex in times of peace. And it's complex even more so in times of war," Mr Bush said. Well said and thank you for honoring a man with brains, guts, and a work ethic that would shame anyone but an Intern busting ass for an MD. Posted by: .com 2004-12-21 |
