Rumsfeld urges Iraq leaders to keep on democratic track
The leaders of Iraq’s emerging new government must not allow “turbulence or incompetence or corruption” to slow or foil progress toward building democracy and defeating the insurgency, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said.
Rumsfeld arrived at the Iraqi capital today for his second visit in three months. The visit reflected a desire to push the political and military momentum that he believes has been growing since the January 30 elections for a national assembly.
