What Donald Rumsfeld Said at the Pentagon on September 10, 2001

When Donald Rumsfeld showed up at the Pentagon in January 2001, before 9-11, his agenda at the Pentagon maybe wasn't what people think about. He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat. To the Pentagon, as Rumsfeld correctly saw it at that moment, was a bloated mess. In addition to the 150,000 troops that the US has on the ground in Iraq, the Bush administration has deployed a shadow army of some 100,000 contractors.
