                    [Summary] => 



The first casualty of the midterm elections in the United States was Donald Rumsfeld, who finally quit as defense secretary as American voters thumbed down the conduct of the war in Iraq. If Rumsfeld had stepped down before the elections, would it have altered the results? No one can say for sure. US President George W. Bush apparently considered the elections a referendum on Rumsfeld, seen as a key architect of the war.

Pinabulaanan ni US Ambassador Francis Ricciardone ang report ng Los Angeles Times na plano ng Pentagon na hingin ang permiso ng Pilipinas na i-base ang mga tropang Kano dito.


Sa panayam sa Malacañang, sinabi ni Ricciardone na walang leader ng US ang interesado na palitan ang mga policies ng US sa Asya lalo na sa Pilipinas.

It was after 9/11. Who’s that man? I wondered, turning up the volume. Oh, the secretary of defense... what’s his name? Sssh, I’m listening... Rumsfeld, okay, got it. Donald Rumsfeld. I like him. I’m not sure why. Something in the way... I watch with growing interest. When he appears on TV I stop what I’m doing and turn up the volume.
