5. This is weird if true.

Bob Woodword claims that Laura wanted Busholini to fire Rumsfailed but was rebuffed by Busholini. I think that Rumsfailed is strongly backed by Cheney and Rove. Busholini was told by them that he could not fire Rumsfailed because it would be admitting gross failure in Iraq and Afghanistan.
