White House rebuffs Clinton criticism of Rumsfeld
2006-08-05
The White House on Friday brushed aside Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's call for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Clinton, in an interview Thursday with the Associated Press, called for President Bush to accept Rumsfeld's resignation over what she called a "failed policy" in Iraq. "I just don't understand why we can't get new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it's too late," the New York Democrat told the AP, adding, "The secretary has lost credibility with the Congress and with the people."

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday there is no change in the president's position that Rumsfeld is the best person to lead the Defense Department. Snow declined to discuss why he believes Clinton is calling for Rumsfeld's ouster now. "I'll let her explain why she made the call," he said.

Hillary, I don't know what it is with moonbats, but they just don't seem to be able to understand plain English when spoken by a guy like Rumsfeld or read between the lines. Lord help us if we get somebody in that position who thinks so much they get paralyzed. Yeah, he's made his mistakes, but he understands them and he carries on in a fairly straightforward or at least understandable manner. Unlike some who think it's more important to posture politically and run interference than to try to be part of the process of coming to solutions. Instead they just sideline themselves by complaining or spewing conspiracy theories all the time hoping one of them sticks and parts the Red Sea so their clueless a$$ can ascend to power in a golden chariot to the sound of trumpeting. Why clueless? Because too much time worrying about appearances and not enough time with your sleeves rolled up. How much time did you waste with this venture? Kicking Rumsfeld out is a hopeless proposition. Now you look vindictive. You'd accomplish the same by beating yourself with a club. People are dying while you contemplate your next move while getting a manicure. Less show, more go. Just like Rumsfeld.

I'm sure we'll see a complete turnaround in this behavior in the near future. :-)
