As Democratic sharks circle Donald Rumsfeld, President Bush says Rumsfeld ‘Will Stay in My Cabinet’.

“Secretary Rumsfeld has served our nation well,” Bush told reporters in an appearance in the White House Rose Garden. Speaking slowly for emphasis, he added, “Secretary Rumsfeld has been the secretary during two wars, and he is an important part of my Cabinet.”

With King Abdullah II of Jordan at his side, Bush also offered his first outright apology for the mistreatment suffered by Iraqis at the hands of their American captors. He said he was “sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation suffered by their families,” and said the images had made Americans “sick to their stomach.”

Bush spoke as his administration sought to counter a worldwide wave of revulsion over photographs showing Iraqi prisoners, some of them hooded, naked and in sexually humiliating poses, in an American-run prison in the Baghdad area.

Remember that “worldwide wave of revulsion” when a pregnant Israeli mother and her four daughters were murdered in cold blood by Arabs who videotaped the atrocity? Remember the “worldwide wave of revulsion” when four security contractors helping to rebuild Iraq were burned alive, ripped apart, and hung from a bridge by Arabs in Fallujah? Remember the “worldwide wave of revulsion” when an Italian hostage was murdered by Arabs on video?

You don’t?
