33. That Is What Questioning Is Supposed To Look Like
Fri May 17, 2013, 09:39 PM
May 2013

But everybody was speaking with such certainty 10 years ago, even when there was a mountain of evidence to the contrary. A good question for Rumsfeld would be "did he ever read Hans Blix report he prepared for the UN". Had he done that he would have known for certain how wrong he and the rest of the Bush's were from the beginning. Something that I have never been able to understand is how 100% of what the Bush team thought they knew about Saddam was wrong. 100%. Except for Shinseki and Larry Lawrence and they were both fired. And Rumsfeld doesn't even blush about that fact. What a shameful man.

Rumsfeld is like what Nazi war criminals would be like if they were never prosecuted alcibiades_mystery May 2013 #1
