“reclaiming my time, what is about to happen is due to the lack of top-end response from this administration, that you are going to have the true American spirit break through many of the troops that know different. They are going to blow the whistle on them. Not blowing the whistle on them because they are an Independent or member of the Green Party or the Democratic Party or the Republican Party that disagrees with the President. They are going to blow the whistle to save lives of Americans, because they know the tension and how Americans are treated abroad now. You have people that are living overseas that they would not wear a flag, or you have some ambassadors that are not flying the American flags on their cars due to the fact of terrorism, of them being a target. If we are going to be the leader of the free world, then we have to be the leader. We have to be able to lead in a way that lives up to that title. I will tell you, today earlier when we had a press conference about Secretary Rumsfeld, if you have a basketball team and they are not doing well, sometimes you have to remove the coach. I will tell you right now, I am not one to stand up on a daily basis or I do not remember a time in my career that I have asked for someone to step down. I really have not. It is not something in my nature.”
