Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
Rumsfeld Waxes Emotional
Asked how he has found the motivation to press on in this tough environment, Rumsfeld answered with his tried and true "My goodness." He took a long pause as the audience laughed softly, then answered that he felt "so fortunate to have been able to participate and serve at important times in our country's history, and to do it with people like that," gesturing to the soldiers in the room. Visibly emotional, he looked off to the side as he composed himself.

"He's certainly a ruthless little bastard."

The greatest evil is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
