"U.S. Secretary of Defense Blames Turkey For Arabs Resistance
Feb 5, 2005
Donald Rumsfeld on CNN's Larry King Live last Thursday held Turkey responsible for terrorists resistance.
'One of the things that didn't go right was we were not able to get the 4th Infantry Division in from the north through Turkey. And because of that, the Sunnis north of Baghdad never really got engaged in the war and an insufficient number were captured and killed in that part of the country. And they didn't really ever experience the full power of the United States military. And they, in many instances, today are the ones that are fomenting this insurgency that exists in Iraq. So that and the fact that we couldn't get that division in from the north was unfortunate, in my view,' said the U.S. Secretary of Defense."
