White House backs Rumsfeld

Of course the White House backs this jackass, he is carrying out the Bush policy exactly as ordered and taking all the heat. Replacing Rumsfeld will make no difference unless there is a policy change. From Reuters: White House backs Rumsfeld, says he's no bogeyman By Will Dunham Tue Sep 5, 2:50 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Tuesday Democrats were trying to turn Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld into "a bogeyman" two months before U.S. congressional elections, and it dismissed their calls for his ouster. .......... "The president strongly supports the defense secretary. It's not going to happen," White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters, referring to Democratic calls to dump Rumsfeld. "Creating Donald Rumsfeld as a bogeyman may make for good politics but would make for a very lousy strategy at this time," Snow said.
