I forget the exact question from the media, but someone in the media asked why we were doing some particular military activity (bombing I think). Rumsfields response ....

"Our purpose is to kill people..."

Also, on Thursday someone asked him what our strategy was to deal with the retreating Taliban forces.

Rumsfield said "we intend to destroy them".

The question was, "Why are you using cluster bombs?" -- I love Rumsfield!!! I can't wait for someone to put out a book of his quotes! Thinking of Albright in this situation makes me think of her being misunderstood as a cleaning lady.

The question was "What is the purpose of dropping the daisy-cutter bombs?", to which Rumsfeld replied, "To kill people". I 'bout fell off my couch laughing.
