“I did tell the President that we need a lot of Colin Powell and very little of Rumsfeld”
Jose Maria Aznar
“I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns.”
George Galloway
“I think Rumsfeld has lost some important allies on (Capitol) Hill and in the senior military. But I don't see how the president would find it in his political interest to get rid of Rumsfeld unless he also wants to change policy and use Rumsfeld as kind of a scapegoat or whipping boy or whatever. But there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the president wants to blame anybody or change his mind.”
Charles Stevenson
“[Said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California,] Mr. Rumsfeld has been engaged in a coverup from the start on this issue and continues to be so. ... If the president doesn't fire the secretary, if he doesn't resign, I think it's the responsibility of this Congress to file articles of impeachment and force him to leave office.”
Charlie Rangel
“Rumsfeld is violating the law, ... It's been sitting on the books for over a year. They were opposed to it. It was insulting to them. I'm sorry that's how they felt.”
Christopher Dodd
“The only people I've ever heard saying that disagreeing with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld is un-American or treasonous are people who disagree with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.”
Craig Bruce
“If they wanted to do something really monumental and momentous but not drastic, certainly if Donald Rumsfeld was to step aside and be replaced by Lieberman, that would be huge.”
David Corbin
“A special prosecutor should look carefully at what abuses Rumsfeld either knew of or condoned.”
Joanne Mariner
“Secretary Rumsfeld takes the extraordinary position in his brief that ordering torture was 'within the scope of his employment' as Secretary of Defense. Especially in light of recent finds that no one at senior levels has been held to account for gross acts of torture and abuse of detainees, this is a remarkable abdication of the responsibility of command.”
Deborah Pearlstein
“I'm not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld. I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.”
Trent Lott
