my three-year-old son is got a new phrase that he toss around
all-time we say something goes you kidding me
so I say like I you can watch TV anymore he says
you kidding me I think we're gonna wanna act on them so the same brush
for small he's been out about questioning whether we have
enough intelligence to Syria you're gonna make that a question out what your
gonna bring up that question
you know in June when a nast some guy in a conservative
get the other ass if Obama has had quote switched sides on the war on terror
Rumsfeld said quote you know
I just don't feel competent to answer I can't tell
you can't tell whether present the United States of America switched sides
on the war on terror
imagine what the republicans would have done if somebody had said that
about president bush in the middle a war's now
rubs well is gonna take it over the top even more here
when he has that huh unmitigated gall
to question whether we've got a at enough evidence before a war watch
what thing that's very interesting it seems to pay is
is that Weepu there really hasn't been every
indication from the administration
as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation
our national interest our national interest
your member correct did not attacked us on 9/11
and Rumsfeld said that he didn't want that
act in Afghanistan as much as you want to attack in Iraq
and people like Richard Clark the counter-terrorism advisor to the
president the time asan
wait a minute the guys who attacked us on 9/11 came from Afghanistan not from
Iraq
rumsfeld answered well iraq is a more
target rich environment well
actually of course he meant resource-rich that's why they wanted to
go to Iraq
now you tell us our national interests are not concerned what it was in our
national interest to make sure that we got the iraqi oil by the way not for the
american people
but for multinational corporations that our league with apparently this
administration
including by the way the one with the vice president used to work for
you're talking about national interest and how you had enough information
before the war
%um this awesomely embarrassing moment after the war
when runs well Rumsfeld was called by Ray McGovern former CIA
officer in the embarrassing lies that he told before the war watch
why did you lie to get us into a war that was not necessary that has caused
these packages
casualties why well first of all I I have outlined
it here's that there were not
weapons of mass destruction you said you know where they were
I did not I said I know we're suspect sites were here just use it you knew
what they were
your corporate near Baghdad and north east south and west
there those are your words my words
my words were that here now though where they laid him in a letter to stay 17
this the second Zarqawi was in
baghdad during the prewar period that is a fact
is our Cali
he was in the north at the Rock in a place where Saddam Hussein had no rules
he knows where his eyes
he was also in back here when he needed to go to the hospital
what these people are idiots know the story here are
yet you are up correct sir
rate mcgovern the quote that he gave there was a direct quote for months felt
I know where they are in the north east west and south the big rip
that would cover really all there is a right to print
and guess what they were in none of those places so now when you question
the intelligence are you question the national security interests
before we go to act in Syria look anybody else to make that question
I question dullsville you're not allowed to question things like that
me wanna talk about what Don Russell knows and doesn't know check this out
there are reports that their is known evidence of a direct link
between at baghdad in some of these terrorist organization there are known
knowns there are things we know we know we also know there are known unknowns
that is to say we know there are some things we do not know
but they're also unknown fun no
X the ones we don't know we don't know you kidding me
I rumsfeld
questioning o war alright by the way get to be fair rumsfeld
does have some expertise I chemical weapons remember when he sold them to
this guy
alright by the way that was in late 1983
now to be fair to rumsfeld were not entirely clear that he
a actually sold the chemical weapons the saddam hussein at the time
but we do know for a fact a because the revelations
this week in fact that the CIA new in 1983 when they took that picture
that Saddam had used chemical weapons against the iranians
and the CIA and the US government and rum so there was a envoy ronald reagan
said spine green light go forward
so yes Russ what does have some expertise on chemical weapons
but it is not in preventing them
