Secretary of Defense on Iraq Anniversary


Donald H. Rumsfeld talks about what we have gained in the last three years. HeÂ’s not been fired yet so what the hell.

Secretary Rumsfeld Via Centcom :Some have described the situation in Iraq as a tightening noose, noting that "time is not on our side" and that "morale is down." Others have described a "very dangerous" turn of events and are "extremely concerned."

Who are they that have expressed these concerns? In fact, these are the exact words of terrorists discussing Iraq -- Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his associates -- who are describing their own situation and must be watching with fear the progress that Iraq has made over the past three years.

The terrorists seem to recognize that they are losing in Iraq. I believe that history will show that to be the case.

1 You may be interested to know what Gen. Newbold had to say re: Mr. Rumsfeld: He points the finger at Rumsfeld and says the planning "was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions — or bury the results." The "consequence ... was that a fundamentally flawed plan was executed for an invented war, while pursuing the real enemy, Al Qaeda, became a secondary effort." = beware wary of warplans when the only generals endorsing them are general electric and general dynamic.
