Whopper: Donald Rumsfeld
By Timothy Noah
Posted Friday, Nov. 14, 2003, at 12:45 PM PT
"Q: Before the war in Iraq, you stated the case very eloquently and you
said, I remember this it was done very well, you said they would welcome
us with open arms.
"A: Never said that.
"Q: Never said that?
"A: Never did. You may remember it well, but you're thinking of somebody
else. You can't find anywhere me saying anything like either one of
those two things you just said I said. I may look like somebody else."
—Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, in a Sept. 25, 2003 interview with
Sinclair Broadcasting.

"Q: Do you expect the invasion, if it comes, to be welcomed by the
majority of the civilian population of Iraq?
"A: There's obviously the Shia population in Iraq and the Kurdish
population in Iraq have been treated very badly by Saddam Hussein's
regime, they represent a large fraction of the total. There is no
question but that they would be welcomed. Go back to Afghanistan, the
people were in the streets playing music, cheering, flying kites, and
doing all the things that the Taliban and the Al-Qaeda would not let
them do."
—Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, in a Feb. 20, 2003 interview with
PBS's NewsHour.

That's how it's done. He DID say it but in a bunch of words that
nobody can remember. Notice he referred to the wording in his denial.
It's hard to believe so many people fall for that cheap trick.
The reporters are going to need to have the full text and read it word
for word to Rummy next tine they ask him a question like that. I'll
bet that Rummy wouldn't let a reporter have enough time to read the
full thing anyway.

The reporter could have just left off the "with open arms" part, and
Rumdum would have had no place to turn. Oh, I'm sure he would have
denied it just as vehemently, but that would have left no room for
ambiguity.
