He defended our present policy in Iraq and our war on terror by citing historic events and quoting Winston Churchill and Georges Clemenceau. That is a rude way to discuss policy with one's Democratic opponents. The historical record is a particularly sore subject with the likes of Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who inveighed against Rumsfeld's speech as "reckless." History has not been going his way for a while. Reid's equivalent in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, spoke of the secretary's impairment ... and she was not referring to his golf swing. Sen. Jack Reed, a Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, accused Rumsfeld of questioning the critics' patriotism.Thu, 31 Aug 2006 20:47:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/03/iraq.hearing/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/03/iraq.hearing/index.htmlUnder tough questioning from U.S. senators, the head of U.S. Central Command acknowledged Thursday that Iraq could descend into civil war.Thu, 03 Aug 2006 14:25:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/06/04/haditha/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/06/04/haditha/index.htmlDefense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should step down amid an investigation into whether U.S. troops covered up the suspected intentional killings of Iraqi civilians in Haditha, Sen.
