Here's more "priceless" bald-faced lying from Rumsfeld... I'm very glad to see mainstream newpapers in such burgs as Ocala, FL having the guts to publish reports like this one. Rumsfeld retreats, disclaims earlier rhetoric Rumsfeld denies he ever made several pre-war statements. Published November 09. 2003 8:30AM BY ERIC ROSENBERG HEARST NEWSPAPERS WASHINGTON - In the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said U.S. forces would be welcomed by the Iraqi citizenry and that Saddam Hussein had large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. Now, after both statements have been shown to be either incorrect or vastly exaggerated, Rumsfeld - with the same trademark confidence that he exuded before the war - is denying that he ever made such assertions. In recent testy exchanges with reporters, Rumsfeld interrupted the questioners and attacked the premise of the questions if they dealt with his pre-war comments about weapons of mass destruction and Americans-as-liberators. For example, on Feb. 20, a month before the invasion, Rumsfeld fielded a question about whether Americans would be greeted as liberators if they invaded Iraq. Continues @ starbanner.com
