French Finance Minister Francis Mer said he was "profoundly vexed" by the remarks.
"I wanted to remind everyone that this 'old Europe' has resilience, and is capable of bouncing back," Mr. Mer told LCI television. "And it will show it, in time."

Mer said "Capable of bouncing back". Apparently Mer thinks France has to bounce back in order for Rumsfeld's statement to be false.
