George Bush actually said...

"And I know the speculation, but I'm the decider. And I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."

"I don't appreciate the speculation about Don Rumsfeld. He's doing a fine job. I strongly support him."

"And I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity."

"Mr. Bush says Rumsfeld is doing a fine job, despite calls for his resignation from six retired generals."
