DONALDSON: Let's talk about the Special Forces, the Delta Force, the Rangers, the SEALs, other special units. About 40,000 have been authorized, but you have yet to appoint a civilian director of the Special Operations Forces. Are you going to do that now?

RUMSFELD: We are going to be addressing the priorities in the department, and interestingly the review we just completed very much focused on homeland defense. It focused on these so-called asymmetrical threats. I've been talking about these problems since I assumed this post, at the request of President Bush in January.

SO WHY THE STAND DOWN? BECAUSE HE CONSIDERED 9-11 A JOB FOR THE FBI AND THE POLICE!
