No longer about WMDs
Switch-o...... change-o!
He also admitted that the cost of occupation in Iraq will be about twice what he originally said ($3.9 billion per month vs. his estimate of $2 billion a month). But I don't have the exact quote on that one......... yet!
Don
PS - Did you ever read "Rumsfeld's Rules"? I'll have to find them to post here.
PPS - Iraq had "Comical Ali"........ but WE have "Revisionist Rummy"!
PPPS - "Rumsfeld's Rules are no longer available on line from the Department of Defense." Wonder why that is??!!

troll.
Please, gburner! I don't agree with you. Does that make me troll?
Is what I said false? If so, point out where I'm wrong. If you get frustrated, don't start calling people names to defend your point.
I think we can have a civilized debate. If you don't care to participate, then please don't.

One significant reason for all the "untidiness" in Iraq is that Saddam emptied his prisons of all non-political prisoners. This was done last fall.
Some of the people attacking coalition forces are the criminal element. That has been established by the Defense Dept.

Pretty funny quote, moa!
I don't believe it ..... but it's still a pretty funny Rumsfeld quote!
What would the motivation be for common criminals to attack heavily armed US troops? Wouldn't it just be a lot easier (and less dangerous) to just rob the old unarmed woman on the corner???!!!! THINK ABOUT IT!

Regarding criminals attacking coalition forces, I am only repeating what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs recently said, along with other reports from the Defense Department. I have no first hand knowledge, and I doubt anybody else on this Board does.
If you have a problem with what was reported, then take it up with General Myers.
Also, I don't make the assumption that all criminals are level headed and are only looking for an easy mark to rip-off. They may have another agenda not obvious to the sane person. Bandits are just another type of terrorist.
Another thing. Most of the attacks against coalition forces are not against heavily armed, hard targets like an armored column. The attacks are mostly against soft skinned convoy or patrol vehicles, or isolated soldiers, or easy sniper targets.

(In my best Don impersonation I can muster)
They're all liars. They can't even talk right. They lie those lying liars. May they burn in Hell for all their lying and deception. Lies, every time they open their mouths. Oh, and they're stupid too.
Nice to see a different side of you Don...oh wait that was the same side replayed for the...how many times is it now I've run out of fingers and toes?

PS Just kidding Don, please don't take offense you just crack me up

Don,
What you are engaged in is neither civilized nor debate. When confronted with facts that threaten your skewed perception of reality, you engage in an utterly childish nya, nya, nya type of monologue that is obviously calculated to engender an emotional response from those who choose to pay attention.
This is a classic example of trolling
behavior.

Rumors
Rumors. Rumors. Rumors
"If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much." -"
"We cannot be lulled to sleep by this guy's lack of life."
Could you cite your sources for these quotes? I'd be intrested to see the rest of them, Don.
Since both of these quotes are obviously taken completely out of context, by virtue of the fact there's nothing to state what he was responding to, I'd like to see where these things came from and all the others in this thread as well.
For example:
The second one posted what if Rumsfeld was responding to:
Reporters: With the war winding down and a lack of response from Saddam do you think he is dead?
Rumsfeld: We do not know if Saddam is in fact dead. We are still looking into evidence and DNA to determine whether our strikes were effective in this capacity. If he is not dead we will find him. If he is dead we will find out. "We cannot be lulled to sleep by this guy's lack of life." We have a job to do and getting rid of Saddam and his influence is only one of many thing we've set out to accomplish in Iraq.
If this were the whole thing it would change the whole picture of the quote and I'm almost certain that if we see what he was responding to most of these quotes wouldn't be what they are being portrayed as. But then that would shoot a hole in the "Stupid quotes" issue wouldn't it?
Take care,
DRC

DRC, this quote is funny because it was in response to a question challenging the administration's (and Rumsfeld's) claims that Saddam had assumed room temperature. But obviously Saddam was alive and ticking ....... which resulted in some "untidy" questions from journalists who challenged Rumsfeld's claims.
The FULL QUOTE gives the reader a better understanding how Rumsfeld reacts when caught in a factual error. Thanks!
