Help-need link to Rumsfeld remarks on Fallujah
I know I saw where Rumsfeld talked about targeting hospitals, but I can't find a link. I need this to respond to local freepers.

Rumsfeld: Strike Won't Kill Many Iraqis
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&e=3&u=/ap/20041108/ap_on_re_mi_ea/us_iraq

Rumsfeld told a Pentagon (news - web sites) news conference that bringing stability to the city would be difficult because insurgents were expected to put up a pitched battle.

"Listen these folks are determined. These are killers They chop people's heads off. They're getting money from around the world. They're getting recruits," Rumsfeld said.

He declined to speculate on how many Iraqi civilians remained in the city, who might be in harm's way. "There's nobody who knows how many people are in there," he said.

But, Rumsfeld added, "U.S. forces are disciplined, they are well-led, they are well trained ... and there aren't going be large numbers of civilians killed and certainly not by U.S. forces."
