Rumsfeld at Camp Liberty
Fox News reports Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld met with troops in Camp Liberty earlier today.
Rumsfeld also gave a pep talk to a few hundred soldiers at Camp Liberty, headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Division. He also pinned Bronze Star medals and Purple Heart awards on several soldiers and participated in a mass re-enlistment ceremony for about 100 soldiers gathered in a mess hall. "The role you're playing is a critically important role in the global war on terrorism" he told them.I haven't heard yet whether Chris was present for this, though he's certainly in the neighborhood. Most of the media has glossed entirely over the big news in Iraq this past week. Iraqiis have selected a new interim President, Jalal Talabani, and Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, and a democracy is taking shape. We're witnessing Iraq's 1776, and yet most news media are talking about a single contractor kidnapped in Bagdad. It's not just pathetic, but almost criminal.

Update: When we talked to Chris yesterday, he said he was one of about 100 soldiers who were present for Rumsfeld's address. He said it was all good except when they tried to sing the 3rd Infantry Division's song. I'll take soldiers who can do their jobs over soldiers who can sing any day!
