Rumsfeld draws Republican ire

Edited on Fri Oct-24-03 12:48 PM by Swede

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 — Last Friday, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and his top Democratic colleague sent a private letter to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that questioned the propriety of comments made by a top Pentagon general, William G. Boykin.
Mr. Rumsfeld not only did not respond, but on Tuesday, after the chairman, Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, made the letter public, the defense secretary said he knew nothing about it. "It may be somewhere around the building," Mr. Rumsfeld told reporters on Capitol Hill, "but I am not aware of it."

He's digging himself in deeper and deeper.

It would be characteristic of this admin to kill and eat their own if it would help save their necks. Although - Bush is so egotistic he might actually feel he doesn't need to do anything at all to address the Pentagons' woes.

3. Must be in the bowels of the Pentagon.

Seems that's where everything goes in this misadministration.
