Rumsfeld, citing the secretary's handling of the war in Iraq and troop levels there that Mr. McCain deems insufficient. In an interview with The Associated Press, Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican who is a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, said his comments were not a call for Mr. Rumsfeld's resignation. President Bush "can have the team that he wants around him," the senator said. But asked about his confidence in the secretary's leadership, Mr. McCain recalled fielding a similar question earlier. "I said no," he said. "My answer is still no. No confidence." Mr. McCain estimated that 80,000 more Army personnel and 20,000 to 30,000 more marines would be needed to secure Iraq. A Pentagon spokesman, Lawrence Di Rita, said Mr. Rumsfeld had "relied upon the judgment of the military commanders to determine what force levels are appropriate."
