Many of you feel that America has put up with Donald Rumsfeld for the past six years and that’s too much already!

Rumsfeld is my Beau Ideal of an American leader and statesmen and the main reason I still trust President Bush. Rumsfeld, like John Paul Jones (the father of our American Navy), has taken the fight to the enemy. He states that the war on terror will be long, just like the cold war. Mr. Rumsfeld answers some of our questions with, “that’s silly” or “my goodness”! He knows that your question did not come from the enemy but from someone who has lost their way.

The care of Divine Providence has produced Rumsfeld just when we needed him, as some may admit some day down the road of time.

My wife paid me a large compliment the other day, she said I was her Donald Rumsfeld.

My wife is a keeper and so is Donald Rumsfeld.

“Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence, trusting that in future emergencies, He will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security,” Abe Lincoln.
