Live From Kuwait...Its Don Rumsfeld!
Secretary Rumsfeld fielded questions in a live broadcast from troops at Camp Buehring, Kuwait today - in a clear indication that this administration has no fear of confronting the worries and concerns of the U.S. soliers stationed abroad. Rumsfeld had to field difficult questions - when's more armor coming? - why are reservists getting treated differently than regulars? Rumsfeld was even jokingly asked if he would take some of the troops home with him - so they could go to Disneyland, but Rumsfeld had to say, "sorry, we've got some more important things for you to do..."
Those close to Rumsfeld, who know he's such a compassionate person, say that it really pains him to be placing young Americans in such a difficult situation. He takes these Q & A sessions very seriously and likes for them to be unscripted so that the troops see that he has nothing to hide. We owe a great deal to these brave men and women who are putting themselves in harm's way - and as Americans it should bring us comfort that the current administration has no hesitation to confront solier's concerns in such an open and public format...
