JF, how will this one end? If we pull out now, it will end up like another Vietnam, except that we actually had victory in our grasp only to let it go. Tenchusatsu

<font color=brown>Fox News is reporting that Rumsfeld is livid that his memo got leaked to the press. It says a lot that he can't trust his own staff. <font color=black> ********************************************************** voanews.com Rumsfeld Cites Mixed Results in Fight Against Terrorism VOA News 22 Oct 2003, 17:17 UTC U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is asking whether the country is doing enough to win the war on terrorism, citing "mixed results" in the fight against al-Qaida. Mr. Rumsfeld made the remarks in a memo to senior defense officials last week. The memo was first reported by the newspaper USA Today. The memo says the Pentagon has not yet taken "truly bold moves" in the war against terrorism. Mr. Rumsfeld said the Defense Department cannot change quickly enough to fight international terrorist groups, saying a new institution may be needed. The memo says U.S. forces have put pressure on the al-Qaida terrorist network, but many of its leaders remain at large. It says efforts to track down Taleban members have been "slower," and the fight has just begun against Ansar Al-Islam, which has ties to al-Qaida. It asks if the United States is capturing or killing more terrorists than are being recruited, trained and deployed. A Pentagon spokesman, Larry Di Rita, said Wednesday the memo was intended to raise important questions and keep a sense of urgency alive. The memo voices confidence in U.S.-led efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but says it will be a long-hard path to success in both countries. Some information for this report provided by AP and Reuters.
