That's just more stuff out of context.
In the original report it said that the attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq are not included, because those countries are battle grounds -- in the rest of the world the attacks are down.
Rumsfeld words are misquoted and out of context. Rumsfeld was talking to Asian countries --- to get them on board, he said that we -- the world -- don't have a coherent approach, and that's true -- there are quite a few countries, which still don't get it. Rumsfeld was trying to convince them of the danger -- that the terrorists are still out there and capable of doing major damage. It's was about defending the Malaga straights.

Malacca Straits -- my fingers were typing without my brain leading them.
