Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld responds to a question from Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on appropriations for the war in Iraq and the War on Terror.
Rumsfeld, responding to Kohl’s assertion that telling the Iraqis that they need to set up a stable government or risk a U.S. withdrawal from the country, says that the Iraqi government has enough pressure on it already, and that Bush promising a pullout could play into the hands of the interests of enemies of the U.S. (1:26)
