Why I don't think Bush has integrity:

[heidi]

These comments from Republican senators pretty much sum it up.

And also today, John McCain said Bush had been "perhaps not as straight as maybe we'd like to see."

Well, yeah.

And here's why I think Rumsfeld has no integrity:

"The Secretary of Defense said in February we have trained 220,000 Iraqi military - what did he say? - 'an amazing accomplishment'. And that was malarky. Then he said last Friday, a week ago Friday, we've trained 95,000. We had a witness before us from the State Department on Thursday at Dick's hearings, I asked them, I said: 'To the best of my knowledge, Rumsfeld is saying 32,000 cops have been trained, to the best of my knowledge not one single Iraqi policeman has gone through the full compliment of training, is that true?' And the administration witness said 'yes, that's true.'"

Cheney? : points to Halliburton (not the employees, the management)

And Powell? He just makes me cry. I wanted to believe him, last Spring. I really did. I still want to believe his words now, and I try to. But it breaks my heart.

Me too. I remember sitting in my office listening to him presenting to the UN, and I thought, "Well, he makes a good case." And now my heart is broken, but sometimes I look at him and I think that his heart is broken, too.

Yes. I've gotten that sense, too. It almost hurts to watch him sometimes.

Question: How bad must the situation be, when two months before the presidential election leading Republicans publicly criticise the current (Republican) president?
