There is a tremendous amount about Rumsfeld that I don't like but there are a few recent comments I actually agree with.
the insurgency has staying power and a seemingly endless supply of weapons, and the time has come for ordinary Iraqis to realize that they — not the Americans — will ultimately decide who prevails in this conflict.
Faced with a chore like digging a ditch, a typical American, will grab a shovel and start digging. In Iraq now, however, the task is to step aside and get the Iraqis to dig their own ditches.
