@ALTERED13TH Done right? Torture, illegal wiretapping, unconstitutional wars for OIL, trillion dollar deficits because of these stupid wars? the right to due process destroyed?, blowing up more buildings and killing thousands of times more people than we lost on 9-11? pray tell, what is right about all of this?
@MrBullfrog9876 Ask Obama - he lied about everything and seems to think the Bush policies were worth following including unconstitutional wars, drone attacks, Gitmo, and even larger deficits, more debt and a worse economy than that under Bush. Hope and change you can believe in!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa fucking jokes on you asshats who believed this asshat community organizing bullshit artist. Wahhhhhhhh.
He's an old man, and he did his best to protect and defend the US and this douche with the village people facial hair is arguing semantics about when exactly he thought the threat would materialise into an irreversible danger. I'm sure all of you remember exactly what you said 5 years ago. Un-fucking-believable people.
@phisean well if you don't remember what was said why would u say with confidence " I never said that" if you are saying you never said something, why didnt he just simply say "I dont remember what exactly what was said" which is what most officials would do anyways to keep the answer vague
I wish I had a job in which I could lie to the entire American populace and be seen as some kind of hero. Too bad my parents don't have powerfull friends. Too bad I'm also not a total douchebag.
Put him on a carrier plane blindfolded, and drop him in the streets of Baghdad with nothing but an orange jumpsuit. All of the civilians can come and thank him for everything he's given them.
I love how this excerpt conveniently silences Rumsfeld's actual response to the supposed language that "busted" him. But that would ruin all the fun, wouldn't it libs?
@josephbadams He doesn't respond to the refutation after the end of the excerpt. It's crystal clear: he claimed he hadn't ever said that Iraq was an imminent threat, and those two citations prove that he HAD said that. End of story.
hundreds of thousands of people have dies at his hands, through all of his time in white house administrations, its a wonder we got away with just 3,000 killed...
Oh come one people! Surely we can't assume that our government should be held to some kind of accountability for what they say and do!!! That's tottally undemocratic!! Man these guys are the biggest weasels ever!
Rumsfeld was right! Rumsfeld said "imminent" threat, not 'immediate.' Interesting how the press guy first uses Rumsfeld's words, then changes them. Just another example of press scumbags trying to corner someone who is not a jackass (I mean Democrat)...
You are such a MORON!!!! Dude, are you for real???? Watch again, you stupid, mislead child! At the 1 min mark! You are SOO stupid, "Metal Dude!!" Even at the quote you pointed out, true, Thom Freidman says "imminent", but then quotes Dumbsfeld as saying, "Some say Iraq is 5, 7 years from a nuclear weapons. I would not be so certain." I don't really give a shit WHAT your definition of "immediate" is, but given what passes to you as leadership and competance, it really doesn't matter.
thats the problem with lying isnt it don you gotta tell more lies to coverup the lies you told and you'll always get found out in the end given enough questions are asked....hahahaha you lying bastard, youve got to be very intelligent to be a succesful liar, so you and bush are fucked because there are many, more intelligent people than you out there and they will catch you everytime, you aint getting away with nothing
Boils down to Pres. Bush wanting to secure oil over there for his own benefit. He was an Oil man before he was president. I say we all go to gas from corn, and forget the middle east. Bottomline - Bush wants the Middle East so he can secure his investments over there, plain and simple.
Ethanol is a joke. It takes more energy to create ethanol than it makes to burn as fuel.
If Vancouver, British Columbia can use fuel cell-powered city buses successfully, then we can as a fairly resourceful nation do the same thing here, with autos as well, of course.
Baby Bush isn't an oil man any more than I'm a bicycle repairman. Baby Bush is a buffoon pressed into service as a media stooge. He said so himself in 1989.
Every Libral nut supported the the war in Iraq, so they could use it against the GOP I suppose, and you brain dead terrorist lovers are dancing on the graves of our brave young military, who go in harms way for you, To pretend this is all a bush conspiracy. SHAME ON YOU.
Every liberal nut supported the war?!?! Check the facts. Most Democrats in Congress voted against it. The grassroots left were even more so. And how dare you call anyone a terrorist for not blindly supporting the greatest creator of terrorism in the last 100 years, GW Bush? It those people who send troops into an unnecessary mission and refuse to take them out because they won't admit that they were wrong who owe our troops an apology. Try thinking for yourself you ignorant dittohead.
I think everybody in the White ('cause they sure ain't lettin' Leroy in!) House believes that the truthfulness of any given statement expires immediately after an interview or press conference.
'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!' 'Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's American Idols and WWE SmackDown. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you fucking morons.'
Poor Rumsfled? Are you out of your mind? He orchestrated this war along with Cheney. Scapegoat my ass! He wishes he could be so lucky as to be labeled as only a scapegoat. He was a rigid, paranoid, arrogant old man who sent young men to fight in a place he had no understanding of. A complicated region that you can't just bomb into oblivion. Now we're paying for his arrogance and stupidity with blood.
germany is gonna try him for war crimes, hopefully bush and that other wackjob cheney. i say hang em all from the nearest tree.this piece of shit almost singlehandedly took america down. he's a traitor.hopefully we get our country back on track.
What a liar. He even talks about the best intel we had and other countries had. They ignored all the evidence AGAINST WMD: Hans Blix's statements that there were no WMD, the CIA's conclusions that there was no attempt to buy uranium and that the aluminum cylinders that Rice harped about could only be used for peaceful purposes. These guys wanted to invade Iraq and nothing was going to stop them.
I heard all of these comments from the Bush Admin. when they were trying to sell the congress and US on the Iraq war. The message was DANGER, DANGER we need to take action NOW, using fear as the motivator. I took that as immentent.
Here is part of a report from CNN today. "The Pentagon has begun a new "rapid response" operation to quickly respond to news media stories critical of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the war in Iraq, as well as other stories the Defense Department leadership doesn't like."
It was about oil and war profteering and these bastards made out like bandits. Everyone in that room knows exactly what this was all about and I'm sure they all cracked up laughing when they turned the cameras off.
This was about a lot of things (Iraq) but NOT because they were any threat to us. Oil, revenge, maybe a need to prove something... but not because they were any threat. Rummy, GS, and Cheney... war criminals... I hope they get what they deserve.
nobody cares what you think you sanfrancisco liberal...the burden of proof of disarmament was on saddam, not us you simple minded hatemonger...your precious united nations passed the umteenth resolution demanding saddam comply or face serious consequences. If we would not have taken him out, he would have been a plague to our troops in afgahnistan...what do you know about war. you only reap the benefits of great men whom you condemn
if you really believe that this war was about profit, that is the decision to go to war, then you must believe all the rest of the left wing propaganda...Bush is a good man, he doesnt need the money..he aint even like that and cheney could go meet Jesus any minute with his bad heart..think about it. Maybe its all just like it seems, we got hit on our homeland..innocent people died and it called for a serious response,.period. Now quit the conspiracy paranoia and lets unite
yeah, quit the paranoia...just continue to be spoon fed all the info that the government sees fit...who needs a bill of rights anyway. Onward, like sheep to a sheppard.
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies..."
They are trying the same thing again with "Stay the Course".
Instead of admitting to mistakes, this adminstration would rather live in a fantasy world.
That's what pisses me off so much. They sent these people to war on half-truths and weak guesstimations without checking and doubling checking and without listening to the reports. That's doesn't frustrate the hell out of America? Almost 3,000 people dead on false pretenses. Saddam is a monster, but that wasn't the claim to go to war. The claim was he had WMDs and wouldn't give them up.
Trying to catch Rumsfeld in one of his thousands of lies is like trying to catch a greased pig but this guy nailed him to the carpet.
