To summarize, Saut, Rumsfeld said he had never said Iraq posed an immediate threat. One of the panelists then read two statements by Rumsfeld before the war saying Saddam was (in the first quote) an imminent threat, and (second quote) no nation on earth was a more immediate threat than Iraq. Rumsfeld then stumbled around trying to get out of it and (this is beyond the scope of the clip posted here) then acted as though the panelist had never brought those two quotes up, hoping the public would forget about it.
