Rummy Screwed The President?

President Bush's Opening Gambit for Surviving Divided Government

Let's hope they didn't mean that literally...wouldn't look to good for the gay-fearing GOP.

One move that could buy the President good will with the Hill and the public would be the departure of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and many people close to Bush hope that happens sooner rather than later. "He has screwed the President," said a loyal member of the Bush team who rarely speaks so bluntly. The President said when asked last week that Rumsfeld would serve the rest of the term, but officials say Bush really could not have said anything else, and that is in no way a guarantee that Rumsfeld will still be running the Pentagon at noon on Jan. 20, 2009, when Bush's successor takes office.


Also, I'm watching CNN right now...Bush is still giving speeches. He's now trying to reassure the military that's stuck in Iraq that we haven't forgotten about them, so they need to calm down...? I guess the military is in an uproar now, wondering when they'll come home? Can't say that I blame them. Bush needs a boot kick to the ass, too, with his line that "we haven't forgotten you". No, Bush...the people haven't forgotten them, but you did for a while.
