Bush Admits He Lied To Media
Interesting little point in the news conference today. Bush claims that he and Rumsfeld have been talking about "taking a new direction" and that it would imply that ol' Don would be out the door. Yet, asked last week if this would happen, Bush specifically said no... that Rummy would be around for the rest of his time in office... yet he claims now that the choice was already made but they didn't announce before the election to avoid "creating an issue during the campaign".
So either (a) he lied last week, or (b) they had no real discussions, and this is just a reaction from Rummy knowing that he would be spending the next 2 years in front of congressional committees explaining his sorry ass tactics in Iraq.
Either way, once again, wonder boy president fibbed.
