Firstly it wasn't Rumsfield. It was the pro-Pak and anti-India Collin Powell and before him Richard Armitage. It was only to save the skin of America's favourite ally that Collin Powell and Richard Armitage came rushing to India when India was about to incinarate Pakistan after the Parliament was attacked. Armitage promised that he (his government) would personally make sure Pakistan would completely get rid of the terrorist infrastructure operating on its soil. He even patted on his pocket in front of the camera that he got a written assurance from Musharraf in that regard. Its was all just a scam meant to appease an angry India. Armitage (or US) never delivered on the promise.

Rumsfield had hardly any role to play in that conflict.

I thought it was Rumsfield.

a small opinion if I may...

Colin Powell was/is not pro-pak or anti-India..He is pro USA only..He is a pragmatist...He looks after US' interests and nothing else..
