Need Rumsfeld quote quick!
Does anyone have a link to that Rumsfeld quote where he says something to the effect that he cannot imagine the US being in Iraq more than 6 months? I think he might have said that on Meet the Press, but I can't find the quote.

I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any longer than that.

2. Here's the quote...
Feb. 7, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to U.S. troops in Aviano, Italy: "It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

4. This was on NPR this morning
in response to a reporter asking him what the Iraq war would cost. Rummy said $50 billion. The reporter said word on the street was upwards of $300 billion. Rummy responded, "Balony". Anyone got a calculator? We're over $200 billion now, and things are still on the "getting worse" side of the hill.
