Upon watching a bleeding American soldier from TV last year, Professor Moon Jung-in revealed the behind-story of sped-up U.S. pullout

Moon Jung-in(professor of Yonsei Univ), the Chairman of Presidential Advisory Committee for N.E. Asian Age, told today (Aug. 27), "The scaling-back of U.S. troops in S. Korea is basically the result of changing U.S. global strategy since 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, 'small' mistakes(such as anti-American protests) sped up the process."
Chairman Moon said at the monthly breakfast meeting sponsored by International Management Institute of Federation of Korean Industries, "Dec. 30 last year, an American network NBC News aired a video clip of 3~5 seconds in length, which showed an American MP at Yongsan base bleeding after being hit by a rock thrown by a S. Korean student. Upon seeing this, Rumsfeld was furious. He snapped, "God damn it! Get them out!"
He went on to say, "There has been a discussion on the reduction of ground troops because American global strategy has changed. However, I can say for certain that the schedule is moved up because of this kind of small mistakes, and this is my first-hand experience."

Ping!
I don't know what to make of this. Maybe he meant, as if talking to the TV, 'get the bleeding MP out and away from that salivating, fascist mob'. Who know? One thing is for sure. Cohen and his political staff would probably have had no such concern for our men, in that way.
I know the feeling..We have one running for President that did the same kind of leftist protests in 71.
The more I see of Rummy, the more I like his style.
Oh, how I love our Rummy....
Any pictures of the soldier himself? I'd like to forwards this story to an acquaintance.
If you have a South Korean Ping list, please put me on it.
Kamsa ham nae da!
Can't you just hear him saying that?
I love this man.
kam saammy da
:)
Love that Rummy!
Patton, in coat and tie.
Obviously, I was not at the scene with Rumsfeld. So I am not in a position to dispute Mr. Moon.:)
I am afraid that you have to talk to NBC.:)
I think the Korea pullout is part of our tacit admission that PRK has the bomb. Standard US war college strategy for the last decade has been to get your forces away from a WMD armed adversary. Instead the US will rely on superior force projection ability to continue to deter the North from a safe distance.
I think you are right. This article just says that the schedule is move up.
I was just thinking that! (Could hear him saying that.)
Now, compare this fine man (and so many other good men and women in this administration) to the pondscum that wants to be president (and the pondscum hangers-on who would join his administration). Can anyone tell me HOW nearly 50% (in good polls) of Americans would vote for the flipflopping, lying, phoney, pumped up, self-important, gold-digging, wannabe-warrior?
F*** S Korea. Get the hell out!! Rummy you have steel balls and a helluva mind. Thank God for you. What are the odds you can run for President instead of "To hell with the 1st amendment sue the swiftees Bush?"
flame suit on for the incoming from bushbots.
I remembering trying the 'small mistake' excuse myself years ago after pegging a third-grade classmate with a rock. Didn't sell then, either.
