Rummy!
From Monday's Press Briefing by U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld:Heh...[...]
With that, we'll take your questions.
SEC. RUMSFELD: Charlie?
Q Mr. Secretary, you said that much still needs to be done here at the Pentagon. And as, I guess, the chief architect and champion of transformation, there has been a lot of speculation about your future here. And realizing that you serve at the pleasure of the president, sir, I wonder if you hope and plan to stay on here at the Pentagon and move transformation further down the road and see the Iraq problem through. Would you plan to stay on, sir, for at least a year, say? Or do you hope to stay on?
SEC. RUMSFELD: Charlie. (Laughter.) The president has spoken on this issue. He went to Camp David. He's thinking about his administration for the future. I've met with him two or three times on totally different subjects since the election, but that's not a subject that's come up. And needless to say, either one of us would discuss it with the other before discussing it with you. (Laughter.)
Q Well, would you -- you said --
SEC. RUMSFELD: As much respect as we have for you.[...]
