Rumsfeld to Iraqis: "Get on with it."

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, in a surprise visit to Baghdad, decided to give Iraqi leaders a little motivation, just in case they were planning to drag their feet on drafting and approving a new constitution.

In a reminder of the unrelenting violence, at least 10 people were wounded in a mortar attack on a busy central Baghdad bus station, an interior ministry official said.

"Now's the time to get on with it," Rumsfeld told the travelling press as he flew in from Tajikistan for talks with Iraqi leaders and US commanders.

Any delay "would be very harmful to the momentum that is necessary."
Mr. Sensitivity... that's our Rummy!
