During a speech today in South Carolina, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) provided his opinion on former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld: "I think that [Rumsfeld] will go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history."
Although I wholeheartedly agree with his statement, the fact that McCain also stated "We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement -- that's the kindest word I can give you -- of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war" makes me wonder why he is not laying the numerous failures of the Iraq War at the feet of Mr. Bush. After all, Mr. Bush is supposedly the commander-in-chief or, as he so eloquently puts it: "the decider". Even though McCain delivered these comments, he never once called for Rumsfeld's resignation. In fact, McCain once explained that "the President picks his team and the President has the right to stay with that team if he wants to".
