No end in sight
Rumsfeld Sees No Quick End to Attacks in Iraq
KEY QUOTES:
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday he expected remnants of Saddam Hussein's forces to go on attacking U.S.-led troops in Iraq for months but they would ultimately be rooted out."
"Since Baghdad fell to the Americans on April 9, 39 U.S. soldiers have been killed by assailants. In the latest fatal incident, an American soldier was shot dead at a checkpoint near the Syrian border late Sunday."
Keep in mind that Iraq is a nation of 22 million souls, most of whom would rather we not be there.
