Chairman Joint Chiefs: God tells Rumsfeld how to lead

Reagan White House Middle East Special Envoy Rumsfeld shakes hands with Saddam Hussein during his visit in 1983. Rumsfeld would visit again on March 24, 1984, the day the U.N. relased a report that nerve gas had been used by Iraq against Iranian troops.

MIAMI (AFP) - The top US general defended the leadership of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying it is inspired by God.

"He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country," said Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Rumsfeld is "a man whose patriotism focus, energy, drive, is exceeded by no one else I know ... quite simply, he works harder than anybody else in our building," Pace said at a ceremony at the Southern Command (Southcom) in Miami.
