But the quotes and memos are not opinion.

Bottom line: The critics are wearing no clothes.... They rail against their own imagination.

Do you trust any journalist?

Because if you do, you need a lucid thought enema.

yes, because rumsfeld has great forethought into future events.

just like he did here




if you want to watch a good movie, watch this.

if "quotes and memos are not opinion" then i'd love to see them explain this away.

at least the video shows the article the OP posted about rumsfeld's 'doubts' was right. he did doubt it. sometimes. too bad he apparently didn't voice those assertions very well.

eta; i smell a 'dismiss the source' comment coming...
