Resignation of Donald
Rumsfeld
Mr Rumsfeld has a long and distinguished
record of service to his country. He has been a true
champion of freedom. I greatly appreciated working with
him. Equally, I look forward to working with his
successor.
The Government remains committed to supporting the people of Iraq and their democratically elected Government, against the insurgents and terrorists working to destroy that democracy.
We will continue to work with our allies and the Iraqi Security Forces until Iraq can handle its own security.
