LOL : Bush backs 'superb' defence chief
Great Job, Donnie!!!!! from Bushie :thumbsup
Quote:
President George W Bush has said that his embattled Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is doing a "superb job".
Speaking to reporters after a briefing at the Pentagon on the situation in Iraq, Mr Bush thanked Mr Rumsfeld for his "leadership".
Mr Bush is backing Mr Rumsfeld, despite growing calls for his resignation over the prisoner abuse scandal.
Military newspaper the Army Times has joined in with an editorial in effect calling on Mr Rumsfeld to be sacked.
The private newspaper, widely circulated at military bases, says Mr Rumsfeld and his top general, Richard Myers, should be held accountable for their failures.
"On the battlefield, Myers' and Rumsfeld's errors would be called a lack of situational awareness - a failure that amounts to professional negligence," the newspaper says.
But earlier, Vice-President Dick Cheney described Mr Rumsfeld as the best defence secretary the US has ever had.
