US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld(L) waves to U.S. troops in Baghdad April 30,2003. Rumsfeld pledged during his unannounced visit to Iraq that his troops would leave as soon as possible, but fresh bloodshed erupted at an anti-American protest. Even as Rumsfeld savored victory in the campaign to oust Saddam Hussein, a leading Arabic newspaper published what it said was a letter from the ousted Iraqi leader in which he urged Iraqis to throw out U.S. and British forces.
