HeadlineApr 11, 2006

Back in the United States, another high-ranking former military officer has called for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. In an article published in Time magazine, Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold said Rumsfeld should be replaced. He is the third retired senior officer in recent weeks to do so. General Newbold also said he regretted he hadn’t more openly challenged the Bush administration before the invasion of Iraq. He also encouraged current officers to speak up if they harbor doubts about the US occupation of Iraq.
