George Bush actually said...

"He's an important part of my cabinet and he will stay in my cabinet."

"It's a stain on our country's honor and our country's reputation. I fully understand that."

"I told him I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation suffered by their families."

"President Bush is showing confidence in Donald Rumsfeld today calling him 'a really good secretary of defense,' a vote of confidence."
