You're doing a heck of a job Rummy:

President Bush reaffirmed his support for two of the most polarizing figures in his administration today, saying he wanted Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld as well as Vice President Dick Cheney to remain until the end of his presidency.

The president’s verbal embrace of Mr. Rumsfeld and Mr. Cheney, offered during an interview with The Associated Press, seemed to be another reflection of Mr. Bush’s belief in the basic wisdom of the Iraq war and his determination not to back away from it as the Congressional elections approach.

Mr. Bush praised Mr. Rumsfeld’s supervision of the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan and his attempts to revamp the Pentagon bureaucracy. “I’m pleased with the progress we’re making,” Mr. Bush said during the interview in the Oval Office.

    Questions for My Rightwing Friends (5.00 / 1) (#1)
    by john horse on Thu Nov 02, 2006 at 05:59:03 AM EST
    I have a few questions  for my rightwing friends based on a recent event in Iraq.  At the request of President Maliki the US took down its barricades in Sadr city and withdrew its troops.  This was considered a victory for radical cleric Muqtada al Sadr.  

    How do you feel about our troops being under the control of a foreign government rather than our own generals?  Isn't it like fighting with one hand tied behind your back?  

    How do you feel about surrendering to the demands of a radical Moslem cleric?  

    Part of the reason for the blockade was to find the American serviceman who  was kidnapped.  How do you feel about abandoning our soldier?

    Finally, just what is our policy in Iraq?

    Mr. Bush is the learned.  Had enough?
