While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 43 ineligible Electoral votes), in a Question and answer session with the national media says that he is not going to fire Donald H. Rumsfeld: “I say, I listen to all voices, but mine is the final decision. … I have strong confidence in Don Rumsfeld. 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.
Postscript: Six months later, the day after the CONgressional elections, Bush fired Rumsfeld.
