Very true and good analysis.
Even Rumsfeld's resignation he left on his own terms and in a way not open to criticism, with Bush saying he couldn't let the troops think that he was being swayed by politics and kept Rumsfeld's resignation silent until after the election.
Bush was very much the pragmatic, undeterred, no-nonsense Texan today.
The President s normally better at addressing a pressing issue and taking on issues with passion, but he more than held his own today, even with a few gloating reporters.
He sure made it clear that he regards Gregory as a Clymer.
