The wisdom of Rumsfeld part two



(From a Department of Defence briefing, brought to my attention via The Daily Show):



Q: Well, we kept hearing that you kept sending the plan back -- wasn't imaginative enough --



Rumsfeld: You say keep hearing things. It's the same thing like we cut the force in half. The fact that one person prints it, and then everyone else runs around and copycats it and writes it again -- then pretty soon it's been printed 16 times, and everyone says, "Well, it must be true." That's nonsense.
Do I have to spell this out? "Iraq bought aluminium tubes for nuclear weapons." "Iraq was involved in September 11." "Iraq has huge stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons." "Weapons inspections aren't working --- the lack of evidence they're finding is proof of that" And on, and on.
