Rumsfeld in Mosul, Iraq

Fire of Liberty

Fox News Pentagon correspondent Brett Bauer reported about 10:15 p.m. the secretary had touched down in Mosul, Iraq. Upon leaving a NATO conference in France, Secretary Rumsfeld in a surprise visit flew directly to the northern Iraqi town of Mosul. Secretary Rumsfeld is expected to meet several US soldiers and is expected to pin several purple hearts of injured soldiers. The Defense chief is also expected to visit several commanders as well as his Iraqi counterparts. This marks the first time since the January 30, 2005 Iraqi election that a member of the Executive has visited Iraq. I hope the soldiers enjoy meeting Secretary Rumsfeld. He seems to be one hell of a guy. I love how he handles the press.
