Last week we all shook our heads in amazement as Bush proclaimed that Rumsfeld would "stay on no matter what" for the rest of the BushCo regime. After all, Rumsfeld has done a "fantastic job". So said Bush last week.
Obviously, today there was a big reversal on that element of Der Decider's Stay The Course strategy - Bush announced the appointment of the legendary Iran/Contra murderer Robert Gates to the Secretary of Defense post.
Did Bush lie about Rumsfeld?? Why yes, in fact he did. And Bush admitted it today.
What. An. Ass.
