RWN interviews Donald Rumsfeld

John Hawkins at Right Wing News sends us a link to his interview with Donald Rumsfeld. here some amples;

Rumsfeld on Barack Obama’s bowing: “I think the words and actions of an American president are just enormously important. I think the impression that one gets is that for whatever reason, this President came into office believing that America was part of the problem in the world and that therefore, it needed to be apologized for in some way.

I’m proud of our country. I think that the proof is in the pudding and the tasting and the fact that people are lined up at our embassies, all around the world, trying to come here ought to tell us something. What it tells me is that the United State of America is the land of opportunity. It is an exceptional country and we do stand for something important, that a great many people across the globe aspire to and regrettably, don’t have.”

Rumsfeld on Truthers: “I mean, there was one law suit I got that was contending that I had advance knowledge that 911 was going to occur and I was negligent in not evacuating the Pentagon before the plane hit. Where does this screwball stuff come from? Well, all I can tell you is it doesn’t come from nowhere. It’s not just made in the ether out there. There are people who want to discredit our government and they perpetuate lies like that with purpose.”

Rumsfeld on Egypt: “Then in Iran, you end up with a popular revolution and you end up with a handful of Ayatollahs dominating the country in a repressive way – and that’s possible in Egypt. I mean you could end up with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that is a terrorist organization, taking over because they are better organized. Even though they’re a very small minority, they’re better organized, disciplined, and ambitious.”

If you miss the old post 9-11 press briefings he used to give, this interview ought to fill that hole in your life for a few moments.
