Rumsfeld to stay in defence post despite criticism over Iraq war
2004-12-03
Donald Rumsfeld, America's combative and famously undiplomatic defence secretary, has survived the criticisms over his handling of the Iraq war and will remain in charge of the Pentagon, it emerged yesterday...
Cue music.

#7  Between Rice at State and Rumsfeld at Defense, what we have here is a bad cop, bad cop combination. I have to believe GWB is sending a message with his appointments. Things are set to get real interesting in his second term.

#2  Undiplomatic----veddy veddy good. That is a prerequisite for head of DoD. We need a hard driving SOB that makes things happen. We do not need to fight the WoT sennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnsitively. Rumsfeld gets results and thinks outside the box. I hope Condi does the same for State. They need a rebuild in the worst way, especially after the Kofi Kompliment yesterday. What asshats!
