WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card twice sought to persuade President Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the second time with the support of first lady Laura Bush, Bob Woodward writes in a new book on the Bush administration's Iraq war policy.
Card on Friday did not dispute that he had talked about a Rumsfeld resignation with the president but said it was his job to discuss a wide range of possible replacements, including his own. He denied talking to Mrs. Bush about the subject.
The Washington Post assistant managing editor's third book on the Bush administration, "State of Denial," comes out next week. Some details have already appeared, however, including on the newspaper's Web site.
White House spokesman Tony Snow shrugged off the book as "cotton candy. It kind of melts on contact."

De regering Bush met de billen bloot. Het werd tijd.
En ze kunnen niet klagen: in de eerste twee boeken van Woodward over 'Koning George" werd de 'officiele' verise gegeven. Nu horen we hoe het er ECHT is toegegaan.
