Pacific edition, Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has moved to new offices in Washington and is working on setting up a new foundation, according to Lawrence Di Rita, a former Pentagon spokesman and Rumsfeld aide.

Rumsfeld, who until recently worked in office space in Rosslyn, Va., during a transition from the Pentagon post, has set up DHR Holdings LLC.

The goal is to promote continued U.S. engagement in world affairs in furtherance of U.S. security interests, Di Rita said.

Rumsfeld has not decided on writing his memoirs, but if he does, all proceeds would go to support the foundation, he said.

Some potential lessons Rumsfeld could offer his pupils:

– Winning A War In Under Six Months: “It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.”

– How To Be Greeted As Liberators:“‘Do you expect the invasion, if it comes, to be welcomed by the majority of the civilian population of Iraq?’ Jim Lehrer asked the defense secretary on PBS’ The News Hour. ‘There is no question but that they would be welcomed,‘ Rumsfeld replied, referring to American forces.”

– How To Create The Perfect War Plan: “Of course the implication that there was something wrong with the war plan is amusing.”

– Armies You Have Vs. Armies You Might Want: “As you know, you go to war with the Army you have. They’re not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time.”

– Locating Weapons Of Mass Destruction: “It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.”
