Bush Is The ‘Decider’

Bush stands firm. Everything in Iraq is under control.

I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I’m the decider. And I decide what is best. And what’s best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as secretary of defense.’

Hagel Takes A Stand

Chuck Hagel

Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), who will likely seek the Republican nomination in 2008, commented on Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his handling of the war in Iraq during a conference call with reporters. Right on, Chuck.

The concern I’ve had is, at a very dangerous time, (the) secretary of defense does not command the respect and confidence of our men and women in uniform.

There is a real question about his capacity to lead at this critical time.

I have had many conversations with military leaders about their concern about what’s happening at the Pentagon and with our force structure.

No Joke, Bush Literally Said Today,

“I’m the decider and I decide what is best and what’s best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense.” LINK

The End of Rummy?

Despite his endless lies, excuses, and near criminal bungling of everything at the Defense Department and in Iraq, Donald Rumsfeld has managed to hang on to his job time and time again. Could this be the beginning of the end? Today Rumsfeld said he was not consulted on the sale of US ports to the UAE. Now, via TP:

Donald Rumsfeld, as Secretary of Defense, is a member of Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States. As such, he was one of the people who, according to the Treasury Department, unanimously approved the sale on February 13. How could [he] do that when he didn’t even find out about the sale until last weekend?

Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking. But unless the GOP wants to run this year as the party that outsourced Homeland Security to a nation that supported the Taliban, a nuclear Iran, North Korea and Lybia, and provided a financial conduit to the 9/11 hijackers, they better back this train (or boat) up mighty quickly.

“War on Terror” is the New “Cold War”

This should come as a surprise to nobody, but the Republican strategy to frame the War on Terror as a long-term conflict with no plausible scenario for conclusion is no longer an assumption. Secretary of Offense, Donald Rumsfeld today laid out a 20-year plan to fight the War on Terror. Nevermind Iraq, nevermind Afghanistan, we need to take on the whole world.

“Compelled by a militant ideology that celebrates murder and suicide with no territory to defend, with little to lose, they will either succeed in changing our way of life, or we will succeed in changing theirs,” Rumsfeld said in a speech at the National Press Club.

Instead of attempting to change our foreign policies that have created the hatred abroad that led to the terrorist strikes at home, the administration instead looks to lengthen a conflict to perpetuate the stereotypes that in times of crises and war, Republicans are better suited to lead America. Our only hope is to elect Democrats in 2006 and 2008, and prove him wrong.
