Rummy caught telling a whopper, live and in living colour.
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 03:45 PM by JohnyCanuck
It doesn't get much more blatant than this. It's a video clip of a TV interview with Rummy lying through his teeth and claiming no one in the Bush administration had ever said Saddam was an immediate threat. The interviewer then quotes Rummy's own words back at him. Nice to see the lying ahole forced to squirm for once instead of just getting the usual kiss-ass treatment this gang of crooks and war criminals usually gets from the "free" press.

1. "We know where they(wmd) are. They're in the area around Baghdad and
Tikrit" (Might be paraphrased.)

He lies all the time.

But to see him get CALLED on it! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

2. Rumsfeld lacks
the moral capacity to tell the truth twice in a row.

3. THANKS!
It's about time the media starts questioning the administration. Hopefully this is just the beginning.

9. Schiefer on Face The Nation last week
just ripped shrub for the Armstrong Williams bribe. Good for him. Maybe this is a reporter we can trust and depend on to tell the right stories.

Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 03:24 PM by Raster
someone should be ready to throw their own words and deeds back in their faces. Make them AND the American people look their lies right in the face!

11. Yes, exactly.
This should have happened all along, but better late than never.

15. Actually this is a pretty old video.
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 04:05 PM by DireStrike
It was definitely around before the election.

Rather than commenting on the obvious point - Rumsfeld clearly lied - a rightist I was arguing with immediately jumped to say that the video was biased because it cut Rumsfeld off as he was explaining.

This country doesn't care.

19. I wonder why people don't care.
I can't see it. I care a lot. How can people accept these lies, and ignore what is going on? Drives me crazy.

22. Me too...
How is your part of NYC? My college is filled with indifferent kids and partisans, plenty of them on the right. (Queens college... which sort of explains it IMO.)

My mom's coworkers all hate him, and half of them believe he stole the election.

I heard something like 80% of Manhattan went blue.

25. Very blue, thank heavens.
I'm in midtown Manhattan. Not so bad here, but I am always surprised when I meet someone red. Someone who lives in Chelsea "supports the war", but he really comes from Long Island, and still thinks the way they do. As he said to me, "Everyone in Long Island is in favor of this war." Oh, hopeless, I thought.

I used to know a few Republicans (many years ago), but even they have had to rethink things now that Bush is a "Republican". They wouldn't call themselves Democrats, but they don't support Bush.

I know of only one Republican living in my building (almost 200 apts.), and he is generally not very bright, anyway.

7. You've got to watch this video too....
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 03:34 PM by Tinoire
There's a point in it with a black screen and question where it seems it may have ended. Don't stop there... Keep going until you see "End". Very horrible to watch years later.

On edit... Just watched your video. Watching both like that, one after the other makes you just too angry. They're liars without souls. Damn them to hell.

What an arrogant asshole. So, Mr. Bush, what was the reason for invading Iraq?

12. So sorry I missed that broadcast, but I need some help
I am a computer newbie. And the video loaded 14 of the 30k and that is all it will load. And it plays only not quite half of the video as well. Any suggestions as to what I can do about this? God I wish I hadseen this.

18. Do you have a dial-up or high speed internet connection?
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 04:08 PM by JohnyCanuck
Sorry I can't offer much help here other than perhaps if you are on a dial up connection to maybe give it some more time to see if the load will complete. I know I have had the experience a few times when I was using dial up that sometimes a video clip stream would appear to only partially download and then hang before completing, but if I just minimized the window,left it alone went off and did something else a while later I would hear the sound kick in again and maximizing the window I would see that the video clip was playing from the point where it had appeared to fail.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

24. I have dialup also, and hate video like this
They go to all this trouble to prevent us from saving the movie, and prevent half of us from WATCHING it in the first place. I'd much rather download it with getright or just my internet browser and THEN watch it. But I can't figure out a way to do that.

You might want to try reloading the page (f5). Make sure you don't have any other transfers while it's loading (downloads, loading other pages, AIM chat, etc.)

27. IMMEDIATE THREAT: twice at least
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 06:01 PM by LynnTheDem
"No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people than the regime of Saddam Hussein and Iraq."

- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Speech to the Senate Armed Services Committee, September 19, 2002

"Some have argued that the nuclear threat from Iraq is not imminent - that Saddam is at least 5-7 years away from having nuclear weapons. I would not be so certain. And we should be just as concerned about the immediate threat from biological weapons. Iraq has these weapons."

• Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, 9/18/02
