Rumsferatu Heckled by Anti War Protestors (RAY MCGOVERN)
Edited on Thu May-04-06 03:53 PM by SammyBlue
ATLANTA - Anti-war protesters repeatedly interrupted Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld during a speech Thursday, and one of them, a former CIA analyst, accused him in a question-and-answer session of lying about Iraq prewar intelligence.

"Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties and was not necessary?" asked Ray McGovern, the former analyst.

"I did not lie," shot back Rumsfeld, WHO WAVED OFF SECURITY GUARDS READY TO REMOVE MCGOVERN FROM THE HALL (my emphasis) at the Southern Center for International Studies.

Three other protesters were escorted away by security as each interrupted Rumsfeld's speech by jumping up and shouting various anti-war messages.

Rumsfeld focused his speech on a U.S. need to increase its emphasis on more flexible partnerships with foreign militaries and rethinking of the role of long-established alliances like
NATO.

He didn't lie. . .well, that just clears everything up then, doesn't it!?! Nothing more to see here, Rumsferatu didn't lie. Say, isn't American Idol on?

And why does Rumsferatu have security remove people who ask hard questions? Does this administration only like softballs??? Seriously. . .what bullying wimps these fuck are!

2. Thank you, Cooley.

We're seeing a lot of these people, recently. About 2 weeks ago, there was a clip of Rummy being attacked by a reporter. The reporter called him "an old uncle, who's out of the loop"..

It's beginning to look like the end for Rumsfailed.
