Washington,
Nov 8 -
U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Holland, released the following statement upon learning of the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld:
“Voters across America sent a strong message on Tuesday that they wanted change in our nation’s leadership,” Hoekstra said. “The resignation of Donald Rumsfeld will not solve every military issue that we face, but a new perspective may be a step in the right direction.
“The nominee to replace him, former CIA Director Robert Gates, will need to continue to confront the many very real threats against America, including radical Islam, North Korea and Iran. I wish him the best during the confirmation process.”
