Bush's lie
Everyone is going on about how the election would have been different if Bush had told the "truth" before the election that Rumsfeld would be dumped from his job. The problem is that he didn't lie BEFORE the election, he lied afterwards. To me, it's apparent that he had no intention of dumping Rumsfeld if the Republicans prevailed. If he had, there's no reason he would not have done it before the election. The lie he told about having decided before the election was simply to cover his ass and not look as if he was being driven by polls and election results. He wanted to look as if he made the decision on his own. He didn't. He lied about it. One more lie in a list of lies so long they are hard to count. No one should be surprised.
