From Laura Rozen's WAR and PIECE:

Reading the transcript of President Bush's press conference yesterday, which was heavily focused on promoting staying in Iraq, even while acknowledging the strain to the American psyche of the task, it's interesting who he does not once mention. He mentions General Abizaid, he mentions Secretary Rice, he mentions commanders on the ground, he mentions Prime Minister Maliki. He mentions strategy and tactics, liberty and freedom, reformers in the region, terrorists, the UN, the French, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, the Democrats, the Patriot Act, searsucker and Connecticut. But he does not once mention Rumsfeld or refer to him. Is that a random omission, or notable, that he doesn't once mention the cabinet secretary charged with running the war when talking about the war?...http://tinyurl.com/k2sje
