Jesus... and people wonder why I never venture in here. Some of these arguments are arguments for the sake of yakking about what "side" you're on, and accusing others of .

It's a video clip. VID-E-O. It's not a picture, an edited sound clip, or a sock-puppet show. It's moving picture with sound, original and whole (no edits) except where it trails out at the end. It had to end somewhere. He'd already blatantly contradicted himself, what followed would not have changed that.

I feel like i'm taking crazy pills sometimes, and then I realize i'm in a Politics thread.

How about this: Why do you feel Rumsfeld lied (if you think he lied) about such information, and how does this lie affect how we accept things he says in general as being truthful...

OR

If you truly believe he just "slipped up" and "forgot" he had said that on at least 2 occasions (as evidenced in the video), then explain your thoughts on why it's not otherwise irresponsible to make such a sweeping generalization to begin with. He couldn't possibly know who ALL said what in the last 3 years, could he?

There's an actual topic. How about it?

Thank you to those who are actually engaging in debate. The rest of us appreciate it.
