Rumsfeld: Still, my attitude is that you should try to encourage someone like Karzai. We have seen three officials in the Obama administration publicly seek to weaken him.

He was replaced by somebody who I do not think anyone thought was better. -- Interview with Donald Rumsfeld: 'Do I Have any Regrets?
