Rumsfeld: Iraqi Resistance Could Last A Decade

HeadlineJun 27, 2005

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has admitted it could take another decade to quell the resistance in Iraq. Rumsfeld said Sunday, ’’That insurgency could go on for any number of years. Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years.” Rumsfeld also confirmed a report in the Sunday Times of London that U.S. officials have been secretly meeting with leaders of the Sunni resistance in an attempt to negotiate an end to the fighting.
