Rumsfeld Rumblings - January 31, 2002

Rumsfeld Rumblings   January 31, 2002

    One of the many Freepers [swheats] who follows the Rummy news suggested an FR feature that consolidates the daily SecDef's news coverage. Today Rumsfeld gave a major speech on Military Transformation at the National Defense University, so it is an apt time to intiate the 'Rumfeld Rumblings' feature. So enjoy yourselves, send feedback for improvements, and please excuse my basic HTML.

For anyone who missed the speech today, it is on cspan.org in RealPlayer format. It is about 1 hour, 38 minutes...and well worth watching.

Ditto "well worth watching" or rather "MUST SEE"

He is very informative, thought provoking and the Q&A session at the end had me in stitches - very nearly literally ROTFLOL. 100% Rummy.

A great quote from General Pace, "Don't let a promising career stand in the way of a good joke".
