Rumsfeld and the imminent threat    [ Politics ]

Old news, but I saw this video up at MoveOn.org showing Don Rumsfeld on Face The Nation talking about the "imminent threat" claim.   This is like Reagan's second term, the chicanery and backpedaling are coming fast and furious now.   And it's only March.

I did vote for Bush in 2000.   Last thing I wanted to see was another 4 years of Janet Reno, Al Gore and Clinton-era sleaze pervading the White House.   Well, they're out, but now we've got THIS administration lying, politicking and doing their damnedest to limit privacy, increase surveillance and government tracking, spend money like there's no tomorrow and keep huge tax cuts in place.   Quote from last week's Economist - "in terms of employment, this recession is the worst since the 1930s".   Grumble grumble grumble.
