| Administration dismisses war criticism |
| 2001-10-29 |
The Bush administration dismissed criticism of its military campaign against Afghanistan on Sunday, saying the war was progressing as planned despite increased civilian casualties and violent unrest in neighboring Pakistan, a key U.S. ally. "It's not a quagmire," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said after defending U.S. strategy on morning talk shows and signaling that the Pentagon is prepared to fight through the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to defeat the Taliban regime and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terrorist network. |
