Bush can't control his generals, whereas Clinton could never control his privates

"We all know why [the generals] are so critical of the defense secretary Rumsfeld. They're being defensive because they weren't able to implement his brilliant plan [on screen: Operation 'Greet Us As Liberators']. It was so simple: Go in with 100,000 troops, topple the regime, everybody loves us, and we leave by Easter 2003. These ex-military men have their right to their opinions, that's fine. They just shouldn't voice them during a war [on screen: 'Loose Lips Sink Bush’s Approval Ratings']" --Stephen Colbert

"The big story continues to be that seven retired generals have come forward and called for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to step down. In response to that, President Bush said he fully supports Rumsfeld. You know what that means? Sounds like somebody's going on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney." --Jay Leno

"That shows the difference between administrations. Bush can't control his generals, whereas Clinton could never control his privates." --Jay Leno
