to our donors as a big proponent of
so of knowing what you crunching measuring and and uh...
getting a grip on changes in assessing things i want you to assess now
uh... yourself and your period office of a security fence of the bush
administration
i'm thinking
hello i want to do that
i think that that history over time will will uh...
probably be there to extend your life but
i've been struck by the amount of criticism that the bush administration's
receded president bush personally
and uh... the the attempts to assign blame to him and uh...
i think it's probably not good stored up that way
uh... others obviously disagree and and that's a substation
williams who wrote the syrians broadcast but but i did wonder
whether you're in trouble that them working together
buckets of tears
you know i i have not asserting countryside
all right well here's what i ask you know that was
that book was widely seen
uh... as an apology for visual along in this book
freehoff
will be at apologize
confine
with your question
did you ever think about politics
organising over a period of pollutants that have been mistaken so many times i
don't look for it anymore
cherry see things that
that don't turn up the way you hope
uh... you look at intelligence in the course if if intelligent workshop that
would be intelligence and uh...
the idea that that people
concluded that president bush made a terrible mistake by doing it i think is
is that um...
something that over time it will be better understood
okay
uh... there's a bunch of things about this what a great job the homestead
right because i'm logged in historical connection that he made
because
whatever you give clear
analogies right
i think it pierces through a lot of people get like all that's right
you have or iraq was very similar to vietnam right
and
another thing to take away from that is that
i don't think rumsfeld has done any self reflection
and judging by his responses to the question
it seems as if he he isn't
he genuinely hasn't thought about the decisions that he made while he was in
office and things he took uh... a direct tendon
and that's amazing man
i mean
homicides of thousands if not millions of people
killed
injured displaced
you
completely cool cool with that
and furthermore
he's so dismissive like either mistaken so many times are even blush about
anymore
mistaken so many times
pay donald
you didn't miss in appointment with your doctor bura meeting with your wife
you started award peak
and then i'd love one just stops making sense at one point there
and by the way that's the q to me that i don't think he's ever thought about this
before because he seemed genuinely off-guard he was like that you know if
intelligence was uh... facts then they wouldn't be golden telecast
was i mean was i mean
and it's amazing because i think that's a uh... a slight can't
where
it's a little bit of a freudian slip where he saying
yeah at the facts are not on our side but uh... the intelligence ah... with
what we have the time is what we went off of
so we can take a look at that were not our side
but then in the very next sentence use goes right back in a defensive mode is
like turkey besides president bush made a mistake let's let history does that
