He may have been in denial just as he has been all along. Took the vote to shake him awake, will he stay awake?

Donald Rumsfeld is the appropriate Secretary of protection in the historic past of america of a and President George W. Bush did not make the main suitable decision to enable Rumsfeld go because of the fact Rumsfeld grew to become into amazing and he grew to become into additionally the guy.

You're forgetting that between his first statement and Rumsfeld's resignation there was something called an ELECTION in which the President's party lost power in the House and Senate.
I'd say that is an event enough that might have made Bush reconsider things.

He had to lie. Remember that he is first of all, a politician. In Rumsfeld he found someone to blame for the failure of the exterior politics

I saw the press conference, did you? Have you ever decided to leave a job? Would you be pleased if someone came along and said you had been fired even though you left due to your own reasons? Do you really think Rumsfeld wants to be the beating post for a democrat led congress?
Who is the liar, you or the President?

Of course it was wrong. He purposely misled the voters so that he wouldn't sway even more of them to the left. But oh well, that's just one more lie that Bush didn't get away with. I'm just glad Rumsfeld is gone.

Of course it is! When John Kerry voted for the war and then said he was against it later bush used it to his advantage during the 2004 elections remember"Flip Flopper" well g.w. sure looks like a freshly caught tuna on the deck of a sport fishing flopping around like crazy!
WOW! all this anger from the repubs over this lie by bush. Hard to believe that it's ok for g.w. to stretch the truth and not be called for what he is...A LIAR! Get a grip people all this knucklehead was worried about was making sure one party rule continued in this country VERY VERY SAD INDEED.

No... that was a matter of Politics.
I don't have the exact quote handy, but WAS he lying if he said "I am happy with Don Rumsfeld" ??
It's really a SAD outcome of the Clinton Era were now EVERY statement, word, or whisper is parsed by the opposition for lies, hidden meanings, or demonic possesion!
Heck, Slick Willie convinced his party that oral sex ISN'T really "SEX".

From what I see, Bush was telling the truth. He WAS happy with Rumsfeld. It was Rumsfeld's idea to resign, not Bush's. If he didn't resign, he'd still be there.

Yes, it's wrong but because Rumsfeld didn't give Bush a BJ, nothing will come of it! That's where Clinton blew it - getting blown.

Of course it's wrong to lie. But that's what fanatical religious zealots do all the time.
