Rumsfeld avoids specifics on cutting troops in Afghanistan

BERLIN (AP) — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld pledged Wednesday that U.S. military forces "will continue a strong role" in Afghanistan even after NATO allies expand their peacekeeping operation across the country next year.

At the conclusion of a two-day NATO meeting, Rumsfeld took reporters' questions about the American presence there but stoutly avoided getting into any specifics about force levels.

Asked about reports the Bush administration wants to slash the U.S. military presence there by as much as 20%, Rumsfeld said that "the only people who are going to increase or decrease U.S. forces in Afghanistan will be the president of the United States or me."

...

"If and when there's any decision to decrease forces," he said tersely, "I will announce it."

1. Osama been forgotten...

Here is morons* legacy for you, all hell bent on capturing OBL then says, "I don't think about him much", now the military spin ass rumspuke lying once again.

So there it is folks, a leader that build his bullshit around 9/11 has now lost interest and is letting someone else, perhaps someone more competent, find OBL.

Three words for moron*: short attention span.

colossal racist failure*.
