WASHINGTON (CNN) --Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld defended the pace of the war on terrorism Thursday, reiterating his message that the war "will take time."
"In the end, war is not about statistics, deadlines, short attention spans or 24-hour news cycles," he said. "It's about will, the projection of will, the clear, unambiguous determination of the president of the United States -- and let there be no doubt about that -- and the American people to see this through to certain victory."

"Rumsfeld said the Northern Alliance may feel it has not been given all the support it wants, but he said, "You don't just start dropping ammunition out of planes to people you don't have any relationship with."
Well I have been wondering why we did not do more to help the Northern Alliance right away. This is the answer to that question. It makes sense too.

Thanks lawgirl! Rummy was wonderful today with the media. You can see why he was chosen by President Bush, he is a straight talker. He is the real "no spin zone" with all due respect to O'Reilly!

Take you time, Rumi! Aim carefully!
Thank God we have people running this thing who value results not intentions, substance not appearances.
Imagine what it would be like if Gore were in charge, surrounded by advisors selected by the way they look!
Imagine the Clinton freak show in charge!
Thank God for George Bush!
And for you too, Rumi!

The man is a total hunk and I LOVE the way he is beating the crap out of the press and exposing them for the WHINY CHILDREN they are! And consider yourself on the ping list. :-D
