Subject: Vacation in Baghdad
Q. In his speech at the National Press Club on September 11, 2003, what did Donald Rumsfeld say could help pay for the rebuilding of Iraq?
A. Iraqi tourism. Seriously. Vacation in Baghdad.
"Tourism is going to be something important in that country as soon as the security situation is resolved, and I think that will be resolved as the Iraqis take over more and more responsibility for their own government," Mr. Rumsfeld said. "In the last analysis, they have to create an environment that's hospitable to investment and to enterprise." HEADLINE: Rumsfeld Says More G.I.'s Would Not Help U.S. in Iraq
