Army Major General John Batiste, quoted by Time magazine-
Political Wire's Quote of the Day

"When I introduce the Secretary of Defense to my troops, I'm going to be a loyal subordinate. But it was boiling inside me. Every time I looked at him, I was thinking about... that shitty war plan, I was thinking about Abu Ghraib, and I was thinking about the challenges I had every day trying to rebuild the Iraqi military that he disbanded."

-- Army Major General John Batiste, quoted by Time magazine, on Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The Wall Street Journal says Rumsfeld's "firm grip on the Defense Department may be slipping."
