T Minus 277 Days

"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Donald Rumsfeld to remain as the Secretary of Defense."


- Washington, DC, April 18 ,2006


Seven months later, and one day after the 2006 midterm elections that saw heavy Republican losses, Rumsfeld resigned.

Bush later admitted that Rumsfeld's resignation had been in the works for a period of time, but he held off any announcement until the day after the elections because he "didn't want to inject a major decision about this war in the final days" of the election campaign. Nice going, peabrain.
