Ned and Tony DiP: Thanks, guys. This is important. Rumsfeld is one of the people who’s making a big difference – for the better – in this war. I have every desire to see him stay as long as he can stand it.
Mrs. Jackson, MLG, R. Trotter and Evelyn: Many thanks for your notes. I think – given the President’s statement today and the expressions of support from people such as you – the Big Dog will be here for the rest of the Bush administration. And that’s a very good thing.
