Rumsfeld relishes his final few days as defense secretary 2010-01-09 10:24:07 | Source As Donald Rumsfeld might say, you change strategy in Iraq with the defense secretary you have, not the one you might like. It was a month ago that Rumsfeld announced his resignation, cast out by the White House to signal a course-correction in Iraq. His successor, Robert Gates, was overwhelmingly confirmed this week by the Senate. Yet when President Bush comes to the Pentagon next Wednesday, Rumsfeld will preside in the secure conference room known as ''the Tank'' when he and the Joint Chiefs brief Bush on the department's recommendations for a new way forward. Gates is not scheduled to be sworn in until Dec. 18, though he has a temporary office on the Pentagon's third floor, and officials say he will be involved in meetings and consult on the strategy shift. How much influence Rumsfeld is exerting in the interim is somewhat unclear. Two of his top aides, Peter Rodman and Stephen Cambone, have announced their resignations. He has told other senior officials at the department that they should hold off on any major decisions to give Gates a chance to review them after he takes office. Aides said Rumsfeld has remained on the job not from any desire to cling to power, but because President Bush specifically asked him to stay until his successor was in place. He has talked twice with Gates. It is the second time in his career that Rumsfeld, who also served as defense secretary during the Ford administration, has stepped down from the job, and he leaves 11 days shy of breaking Robert McNamara's record as the longest serving defense secretary. Taking questions Friday at an hour-long farewell to Pentagon employees, Rumsfeld became emotional and wiped his nose as he reviewed his tenure and accomplishments. ''I wish I could say that everything we have done here had gone perfectly, but that's not how life works, regrettably,'' he said. In private, too, Rumsfeld has seemed at times wistful about giving up the vast resources of his office. Shortly after announcing his resignation, the 73-year old Rumsfeld, who dictated his memos into a recorder to be transcribed and who disdained e-mail, told his aides: ''I guess I'm going to have to get a computer.'' He was not surprised by Bush's decision to replace him the day after the midterm elections, several current and former aides said. He and Bush had talked about whether Rumsfeld could still operate effectively, especially if the Democrats took control of both the House and Senate, they said. But the way the departure was handled by the White House is still a source of bitterness to some in Rumsfeld's inner circle. The choice of Gates after Bush himself had said a week before Election Day that he wanted Rumsfeld to stay until the end of his term made it seem as if the change had been made abruptly, one Rumsfeld adviser said. And it led some Republicans, bitter over their losses in the election, to wonder why Bush had not replaced him before the election when it might have helped their fortunes. ''The way it was handled turned out to be unsatisfactory to all, except the Democrats,'' the adviser said. As the disclosure this month of a memo Rumsfeld wrote outlining options for switching course in Iraq makes clear, he has his own ideas about what should be done in Iraq. Lawrence Di Rita, who served as a top Pentagon aide until resigning last year, said the memo, which listed 21 options for shifting course in Iraq, many of them calling for reducing the U.S. presence there, reveals Rumsfeld's willingness to offer up completely different ways of thinking. But when he met on Friday with Pentagon employees, Rumsfeld counseled patience in Iraq, warning that ''to pull out precipitously and inject that instability'' would be ''a terrible mistake.'' There were moments of vintage Rumsfeld, when he was not the battered figure who has become a symbol of a strategy gone wrong in Iraq, but the jaunty defense secretary whose verbal sparring once made his press conferences Washington's most entertaining show. When a young military aide interrupted the proceedings to say there was time for one more question, Rumsfeld was having none of it: ''I'll decide if it's the last question.''
