| Rumsfeld: This is no quagmire or guerrilla war. |
| 2003-07-01 |
| (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Monday remnants of toppled President Saddam Hussein's government have coalesced into a "terrorist network" in Iraq, but rejected the notion that U.S. and British forces are facing a guerrilla war or are stuck in a quagmire. During a Pentagon briefing, Rumsfeld compared the postwar situation in Iraq to the difficult path taken by the United States after declaring its independence from Britain and before establishing a new Constitution and electing a president. Rumsfeld also accused some members of the news media, who he did not identify, of hoping Iraq becomes another Vietnam. You tell them! But I don't think the beauzeaux want to listen. |
