President Bush on Monday again praised Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld saying, “You are doing a superb job. You are a strong secretary of defense. And our nation owes you a debt of gratitude.” Bush made the comments at the Pentagon while surrounded by much of his national security team, Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Richard Myers. Meanwhile 275,000 people have now signed an online petition calling on Rumsfeld to resign.
