McCain says he has 'no confidence' in secretary of defense

Senator John McCain said today (Monday) that he has "no confidence" in Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

He then tempered his straight talk by saying his comments were not a call for Mr. Rumsfeld's resignation and that the President "can have the team that he wants around him". That seems like spin to me and it also seems like a failure to support the troops in the field. After all, if you have no confidence in Donald Rumsfeld and our troops are suffering because of it, how honorable is it to fail to seek Mr. Rumsfeld's departure?

You can't have it both ways, can you?
