This morning, during his speech at the Armed Forces Farewell Ceremony, President Bush took a minute to single out Donald Rumsfeld, saying he did an “outstanding job” as Defense Secretary:
Mr. Vice President, I am proud to serve with you for eight years. The military has had no staunch a defender in my administration than Vice President Dick Cheney. I thank members of the cabinet, members of the administration, and former members of the cabinet, especially the former secretary of defense, who did an outstanding job, Secretary Don Rumsfeld.
Watch it:
Last month, Bush gave another shoutout to Rumsfeld, calling him an “enterprising leader.”
