Old man Rummy now says that he never advocated invading Iraq!

(This would have been funny had it not been for the fact that 2000+ US soldiers are dead, tens of thousands maimed for life, and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians are dead..)

STEPHANOPOULOS: If you had known that no weapons of mass destruction would be found, would you have advocated invasion?

RUMSFELD: I didn’t advocate invasion.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn’t?

RUMSFELD: No, I wasn’t asked. If you read all the books and the things —

STEPHANOPOULOS: Why weren’t you asked? That’s very puzzling.

RUMSFELD: Well, I’m sure the president understood what my views were. But as a technical matter, did he ever look and say, “What should we do? Should we go do this or not do that?” This something the president thought through very carefully.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you trying to distance yourself from the war with that –

RUMSFELD: Of course not. Of course not. I agreed completely with the decision to go to war and said that a hundred times. And don’t — don’t even suggest that.
