If Bush only does what he thinks is right, why did he hand Rumsfailed his papers after the election?

Question

Coincidence? Or was it a political decision versus what is best for the war on terror?

In other words. If Rumsfailed was doing a poor job and getting soldiers killed, why did Bush wait to lose seats in the House and Senate to get rid of him?

ALSO

If Rumsfailed was doing a good job and protecting the lives of the troops, why did Bush accept his resignation?

Answer 1

not that complicated. rumsfeld help orchestrate the swiftest victory in the history warfare but was not well suited to the police work that followed.
by any measure, we have never been in a war with fewer casualties.

Answer 2

I think Rumsfeld was doomed - either way.

I believe if Bush had dumped him prior to the elections, it would have definitely appeared to be a political effort to appease the voters and gain more support for the republican candidates.

Rumsfeld was not the best man for this position - he certainly proved that - and why it took Bush so long to figure this out may well be one of his greatest faults. He seems to be loyal to his staff to the point of being blind as to their incompetence.

Answer 3

It's a government conspiracy Chi guy! Your an idiot! Let's let the terrorist continue these sneak attacks in our backyard. Maybe you bleeding liberals will get the big picture then. Ohh, I forgot, Bush planned the Twin Towers bombing also. My fault.

Answer 4

Leap over the Neocon fascists' orchestrated show of propaganda. Don't buy it anymore. It's time to figure out how to clean up their mess of death and destruction. Start by supporting the politicians you think are on the path of fixing things. They need to hear from you.

Answer 5

Since when can liberals listen to reason ? Is this something new ?

Answer 6

Because Bush is a liar.
