OMG, No he didn't
Troops in Afghanistan were told that history would put them in the same bracket as the US forces which liberated Germany 60 years ago. The Pakistanis were given F-16 warplanes as a reward for their role in rounding up more than 700 al-Qaeda suspects. The new Kyrgyz government was reassured that the lucrative US air base at Bishkek would not be leaving town.
There were a few bloopers though. Having invited US troops to fire questions at him while in Kabul, he stumbled over issues such as the introduction of a new carbine and claimed not to have heard about a scheme to fast- track citizenship for non-US soldiers.
Rumsfeldisms abounded. A soldier asked why the media remained sceptical about overseas deployments such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Rumsfeld told the soldier not to worry, as the US public had an inner moral gyroscope which allowed them to take a balanced view of world events. Presumably the same instrument also keeps them on the straight and narrow.
