Out of the archives - the march to war
Via the essential Buzz Flash, these bon mots about Iraq, made by Rummy on 11/15/02, and carried without a drop of skepticism on CBS News.
"Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that," he said. "It won't be a World War III."As an added incentive for war support, they included Rummy's statement on WMDs in bold type, right under his photo.
"With a weapon of mass destruction you're not talking about 300 people or 3,000 people being killed, but 30,000 or a hundred thousand."You have to wonder, in light of the press involvement that emerged within the Plame leak - how many people in the press corps really knew they were lying at the time but played the fool anyway?
