Bush Said: "Secretary Of State RUMSFELD"??? (Did Anyone Else Notice?)

[arwalden]

This might be a little late... but I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only person who was paying attention to Bush last week.

Actually, I missed it the first time around. I only noticed it when I was making a video-CD of the entire news conference.

1. Yep... I heard it too.

Is he out of the loop too? Or so high he can't remember his own cabinet?

2. Yeah,

You figure, these guys never call each other by their titles, he probably calls him Donny or Rummy or some such.... UGH.

3. Well, I was wondering when...

He'd make it official!:eyes:

B-)

4. "Secretary of State Rumsfeld". Yeah, let's piss off the 4 or 5 countries..

that still like us.

That's a freaking nightmarish scenario, I'll tell you what. :-)

5. yes, he said that...

I thought it was more interesting when he was talking about 9/11, about 27:00 into it, and said, "on that day i was angry and sad, angry ... ", then mutters under his breath "at the time, thought al qaeda". If you were to entertain conspiracy theories, you could preceive that as a slip of the tongue, that required correction to "thought" al Qaeda, instead of "knew" al Qaeda, or even "expected" al Qaeda. Just a diversion...

Other interesting quotes, because they are uncharacteristically true for coming from Bush:

17:51 "it's hard to advance freedom in a country ... strangled by tyranny"

18:20 "it's hard, freedom is not easy to achieve, we have a little
trouble in our own country achieving freedom"

24:14 "A country that hides something is a country that is afraid of
getting caught." -- Keep in mind Bush Administration policy to not let any information out of the white house unless required by a court order.

30:02 "Well, i think, as I mentioned, uh, you know, its, uh, the
country wasn't on war footing, and yet, we're at war, and that's just
a reality, Dave." -- A terrorist organization committed an act of war against us (bombing the Cole), and we weren't "on a war footing"?
