Rumsfeld is either nuts, a victim of wishful thinking or telling us to get ready again...
U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned potential adversaries on Monday that the United States remained capable of responding to military threats at home and abroad, despite its troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan. ADVERTISEMENT "We are capable of dealing with other problems were they to occur," he told troops at an airfield in the Nevada desert.Personaly I think nuts. But then again, could be showing his hand in regard to an Iranian adventure.
"It would be unfortunate if other countries thought that because we have 136,000 troops in Iraq today, that we're not capable of defending our country or doing anything that we might need to do," he said in response to a question about military options for dealing with Iran.
