Rumsfeld led US into morass in Iraq by Jim Mannion Wed Nov 8, 5:43 PM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - Stubborn and cock-sure, US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld dominated the US military in an era of unprecedented challenges, but was faulted for not heeding its warnings as he led the United States into a morass in Iraq. Rumsfeld's resignation was announced after a stinging vote of "no confidence" in legislative elections Tuesday that saw Democrats take control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate for the first time in 14 years. In bowing out, Rumsfeld acknowledged he had become a lightning rod of opposition to the war. "It recalls to mind the statement by Winston Churchill, something to the effect that: I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered a lack thereof," he said. The first war of the 21st century "is not well-known, it was not well-understood; it is complex for people to comprehend," Rumsfeld said at the White House with President George W. Bush and his successor, former Central Intelligence Agency director Robert Gates. "America is safer and the world is more secure because of the service and the leadership of Donald Rumsfeld," Bush said. Though Rumsfeld had offered his resignation to the president twice, before and after a prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, Bush stood by him up to the elections even as calls for his resignation mounted, including among Republicans. Military resentment with Rumsfeld boiled over earlier this year into a public revolt by a string of retired former commanders who called for his resignation. But Rumsfeld, a consummate bureacratic infighter, survived that challenge. His resignation marks the end of a remarkable career for the combative 74-year-old, who twice served as defense secretary in tenures that were 25 years apart. He was in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 when airliners commandeered by Al-Qaeda hijackers flew into the World Trade Center in New York and then the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people in the deadliest terrorist attack ever on US soil. In less than a month, he launched US forces in a war against Al-Qaeda that toppled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan in December 2001 and mobilized the US military for a global war on terrorism. He pulled back US forces from Europe and repositioned them for a turbulent post-Cold War era populated by suicide bombers, insurgents and "rogue" states armed with nuclear weapons. In his nearly six years in office, Rumsfeld has dominated the US defense establishment like few before him. He is the oldest person to serve as secretary of defense, and he was also the youngest when he began his first tenure as defense secretary in 1975 at the age of 43. The two stints made him the longest serving defense secretary after Robert McNamara, the Vietnam War-era defense chief who presided over the United States' only defeat in a foreign war. Like McNamara, Rumsfeld was supremely self-confident, often abrasive, and not popular with the military brass, whom he prodded and poked into line and sometimes upbraided in public, or with members of Congress from either party. Americans embraced his tough-guy persona during the Afghan war, but it faded in the lead up of the controversial invasion of Iraq to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction that later turned out not to exist. Just weeks before the US invasion of Iraq, Rumsfeld dismissed a warning by the army chief of staff that several hundred thousand troops were required to occupy Iraq, calling the estimate "far from the mark." In remarks that would prove prophetic, Rumsfeld told reporters it was "not knowable" how many troops would be needed. "We have no idea how long the war will last. We don't know to what extent there may or may not be weapons of mass destruction used. We don't know -- have any idea whether or not there would be ethnic strife. "We don't know exactly how long it would take to find weapons of mass destruction and destroy them. There are so many variables that it is not knowable." But he said it was "not logical" that as many troops would be needed to pacify the country as to win the war and "any idea that it's several hundred thousand over any sustained period is simply not the case." The United States invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003 with a force of fewer than 100,000 troops. Baghdad fell quickly, and the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein fell amid an orgy of looting. But the failure to commit enough troops to secure the country is now widely viewed as a central mistake, allowing a Sunni insurgency to take hold and setting in motion a spiral of violence that has seen no let up. "Many of us said we needed more troops over there for a long time," said Senator John McCain, a Republican who had lost confidence in Rumsfeld. "We now find out that that was the case and the military people were recommending it strongly," he said. As of Wednesday, 2,836 US servicemembers had lost their lives in Iraq. Another 288 have been killed in Afghanistan where the Taliban is making a comeback nearly five years after their fall. In Iraq, Rumsfeld will be leaving a country that is on the brink of civil war between ruling Shiites and minority Sunni despite US efforts to build an Iraqi security force capable of stabilizing the country. More than 140,000 US troops remain on the ground, increasingly drawn into the middle of a brutal sectarian conflict that has claimed thousands of lives.

^^^You know such a request without the clan courts disarming would not work. Thus first put the wepons down, return the airport and ports and then the TFG will return with its security forces to Mogadishu. Come and let me [Xasan Dahir] protect you is something the President declined to accept from the warlords before. A question to you, why the suden change of heart from the clan courts, what happened to the Jihad againts the TFG?

Forces on alert at Somalia border, House told Posted to the MOL November 9, 2006, 6:40 am By Parliament Team KENYA security forces have been put on high alert to avert any aggression from Somalia, Parliament heard yesterday. Foreign Affairs assistant minister Moses Wetangula said patrols had been intensified along the border. Giving a ministerial statement earlier sought by Andrew Ligale (Vihiga, Narc), Wetangula confirmed that tension in the neighbouring country had heightened due to the continued struggle between the Transitional National Government and the Islamic Courts. He expressed concern over the arms embargo slapped on Somalia by the United Nations which had made it impossible to send military troops to the country. He said despite appeals by Foreign Affairs minister Raphael Tuju who raised the matter during the recent UN conference, the embargo had not been lifted. “The IGAD expressed willingness to send troops to Somalia, a move that was endorsed by the Africa Union, but the troops Sudan and Uganda expressed readiness to post were not sent due to the arms embargo. What is left is dialogue,” he said. Mr Ligale said the takeover by the Islamic Courts had led to lawlessness in Somalia and demanded to know whether the new leadership was getting support from elsewhere. Billow Kerrow (Mandera Central, Kanu) said peace and stability in Somalia was paramount to Kenya and wondered what action the Government was taking to restore the same. Meanwhile, the controversial Artur brothers saga returned to Parliament yesterday with the Government denying any knowledge of their presence in the country. Wetangula was pressed to explain the contacts of Artur Sargasyan and Artur Margaryan in Kenya with a section of MPs demanding to know who Winnie Wangui was acting on behalf when she dealt with them. Answering a question by Ligale (Vihiga, Narc), Wetabngula said he was not aware that the Artur brothers were based in Dubai in United Arab Emirates (EAE) before venturing into Kenya from where they were deported following the much publicised security breach at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. He further denied the two brothers had any contacts with the Kenya Embassy in the EAE based at Abu Dhabi. Source: Kenya Times

^^^Nice new pics thanks...

To the earlier individual I thought Baidoa would be attacked by now, what happened, or are you another Somalilander getting lost in the fog...

Abdiqasin is good, Indacade is bad is a crazy statement, Abdiqasin strengthened the illegal activities of his sub-clan notablky from 2000-2003 and even made Yusuf Siyad IndaCade governor of lower Shabbele. He used the money given to Carta to further enhance his clans armour and support base and is blamed for the Jama/Yusuf war in Puntland. His character is also dark, for he was the only man to serve the full 21 years of Siyad Barre's regime, this includes the good years as well as the civil war periods in which the regime turned on the civilians of Somalia notably the North West. He is also noted for corruption and an opportunisic tendency and was once a staunch communist even coming strongly against the religious community. A well spoken individual of little substance...

Nice one Camir...

Amiirka Juboyinka thats so funny.. As for Radio Daljir is it less credible than the story of the death of col Frataag by Qadsiye and propgated by Mogadishu based websites?

^^The delivery was not polished in the western sense, thats a Somali problem, but the substance was not bad, for me the rumours of Turki's death was just that, this gives it more weight and it has become a talking point, is he dead or not? Also the report was no different to the countless death reporting of other fugitives on major netweorks like CNN, FOX and the BBC. Who do you mean by you lott?

Saxib Puntland was build by its people without any outside help they have build major towns and infrustructure not seen before in the region. Puntland occupies no one while your clan courts occupy, Kismayu, Barava, Marka, Qoryoole, Leego, Bali doogle, Afgoyee, Shalamboode..... Go attack the likes of IndaCade [ alleged drug baron], Cirfo [Afgoyee torturer], Dhuxulow Abdiqasin and the clan thugs that are actually right now occupying and abusing the people of southern Somalia. They turned Barava into a charcoal factory and Marka, poor Marka..... Dont worry, the TFG will insha Allah liberate the lower Shabbele soon and then justice will be met on the clan courts and the fakery of it all. You have lost politically and now you will lose milliterily...
