do you disagree with his point? What about this statement makes you think he is too old or stressed from this job? The statement is spot on, and he's one of only a few in this administration that challenges that bias. Bush rarely does. Rumsfeld always stays on the offensive...something I respect highly.

Rumsfeld is not superhuman!

Five years as Sec Def conducting a war would wear on a man 20 years younger.

I do agree with his statement and think that he has been great at the job, but he is tired, you can see and hear it.
