Rumsfeld: Army should pull out of drug war in Bahamas
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/07/drug.wars.bahamas.ap/index.html
"...in a May 15 letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, (Sec. of Defense Donald) Rumsfeld said it was time after more than 20 years to shift the equipment elsewhere. The military is being stretched thin by the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and other commitments around the globe."
"The Bahamas anti-drug program, Rumsfeld wrote, "now competes with resources necessary for the war on terrorism and other activities in support of our nation's defense, with potential adverse effects on the military preparedness of the United States."" (emphasis by Vox)
