Wars have little to do with the President lying to the US people. If is was another secret, why say anything? He lied - yet again.
Of course it would be meaningful and not wise to sack the Defense Secretary a few days before an election. (And I really don't give a shit nor am I bitching).
The last thing Bush is not, is a straight shooter. The man has decieved and lied time and time again - but, of course, they are all "not lies". I wish to fuck they could at least go thru one day without lying their heads off.
The truth is very obvious - there was no intention of Rumsfeld resigning last week and Bush prob (a rarity) told the truth at that time. The lie enters into today when he then claims "win or lose, Bob Gates was going to become the nominee." My dog is more of a straight shooter than the thing in the Whitehouse.
