Wesley Clark: Rumsfeld 'should go'
11:38:27 Þ.Ù
Washington, April 16 - A former NATO commander Saturday joined six other retired generals in calling for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation.
"He should go," General Wesley Clark told FOX News Channel in an interview.
Clark said Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney had pushed the United States into Iraq, and said the invasion had no connection with the war on terror.
"It was a tragic mistake, a strategic blunder."
Asked whether it was appropriate to comment on the defense secretary's performance while the United States is at war, Clark replied: "It's more than an appropriate time. This country needed a better policy from the 2001 period on.
Clark, who became supreme allied commander of NATO in 1997, is a frequent critic of the U.S. administration's Iraq policy.
