When the president's out there, I think, giving an honest assessment, saying, you know what, if we had to do it again, we wouldn't do it like that, I think that's a very good thing.
We have given people more of their money to spend. We have paid down the public debt. We have given our soldiers more money to protect America's interests and protect themselves around the country. We have had a successful welfare reform…
I think the president has been very consistent in this war. He said we don't pull out until there's victory. We will stand down when the Iraqis stand up. We see tremendous progress being made there.
I think if the president felt like Secretary Rumsfeld was not doing the job, that we were not getting the job done in Iraq, I do think that he would -- he would let him go.
