The Critics

“You and a few other critics are the only people I’ve heard use the phrase ‘immediate threat’. I didn’t. The President didn’t. And [uh,] it’s become kind of folklore that that’s what’s happened.” — Donald Rumsfeld, March 14, 2004, Face The Nation

“No terror state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.” — Donald Rumsfeld, September 18, 2002
