Now He Tells Us: Rumsfeld Admits Iraq War Not Going "Well Enough Or Fast Enough"...


Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld acknowledged Thursday progress in the Iraq war has not been going ''well enough or fast enough'' in his first extended remarks since announcing his resignation under political pressure.

Rumsfeld said little about his impending departure when speaking to a friendly audience of students, teachers and military personnel at Kansas State University. Instead, he offered a retrospective of sorts on his two tours as defense chief while echoing President Bush's appraisal that the conflict has been going poorly in recent months.
