Probably the most criticized man in America at this time is Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Republicans (some) and Democrats want the president to remove Rumsfeld. This has me siding with President Bush.
When I see Rumsfeld with the media I think it’s about time we have some one like him. When I hear it said that he is arrogant I think he is decisive. When they say he is incompetent and insensitive I see the job that needs to be done and thank God for Donald Rumsfeld. There is no doubt in my mind that Rumsfeld is pro-American. With Rumsfeld as secretary of defense the world no longer sees the United States as a paper tiger. With Rumsfeld our military has not sacrificed in vain. Compare the verse said in World War II: “We are the battling bastards of Bataan. No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam … ” That was war and so is this.
