RUMSFELD  (CONT)

Rumsfeld defended the war in Iraq, saying that while U.S. military tactics have changed as conditions on the ground have changed, the administration's war strategy has remained constant: "to empower the Iraqi people to defend, govern and rebuild their own country."

In arguing against giving up in Iraq, he said people should know from history that wars are never easy.

"You know from experience that in every war - personally - there have been mistakes and setbacks and casualties," he said. "War is, as Clemenceau said, 'A series of catastrophes that results in victory.'"
