McCain: 'No confidence' in Rumsfeld

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- U.S. Sen. John McCain said Monday that he has "no confidence" in Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, citing Rumsfeld's handling of the war in Iraq and the failure to send more troops.





With all the cabinet people going, W is foursquare behind Rummy. If tht doesn't send a message about the kind of leadership, the kind of Commander in Chief W is, nothing does. So why did Mccain, who has no confidence in Rummy, support W, who has absolute confidence in Rummy no matter what he does?

I can only assume that W promised no one from his cabal (Say, Jeb) would oppose Mccain for the Republican nomination in 2008.

If that's what they gave him (and they must have given him something for his endorsement) I will put money on the table they lied to him. The Bush family is all about the political screw job.
