Bush: 'I'm the decider' on Rumsfeld

So, Mr. Decider, why don't you decide to go jump in a lake!

Actually, there is no decision to be made. Rummy knows too much and there is too much in that Pentagon that Bushie doesn't want any outsider to see.

CNN.com - Bush: 'I'm the decider' on Rumsfeld - Apr 18, 2006:

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush sharply defended Donald Rumsfeld on Tuesday, saying the embattled Pentagon chief is doing a 'fine job' despite calls for his resignation from six retired military generals.

Bush already had interrupted his Easter vacation at Camp David, Maryland, on Friday to release a public statement of support for the defense secretary.

Despite a practice of not usually commenting on personnel moves, the president told reporters Tuesday that his vote of confidence for Rumsfeld was an effort to stamp out speculation about his status. (Watch Bush, generals on Rumsfeld defense moves -- 1:30)"
