Rumsfeld's Remarks

<p>As I suspected, there are always two sides to such things. Here is what Albright says about the interview:

I must have been crazy; I should have answered the question by reframing it and pointing out the inherent flaws in the premise behind it. Saddam Hussein could have prevented any child from suffering simply by meeting his obligations…. As soon as I had spoken, I wished for the power to freeze time and take back those words. My reply had been a terrible mistake, hasty, clumsy and wrong. Nothing matters more than the lives of innocent people. I had fallen into the trap and said something I simply did not mean. That was no one’s fault but my own.

You may not have liked the sanctions at all, but certainly what has been revealed in recent investigations is that the UN as well as countries like France have been totally corrupt in how the oil for food program was administered. To take this whole mess and lay it at the feet of the Clinton administration as intentional genocide is quite a stretch.</p>

<p>Now pardon me, after coming to the defense of the Clintons, I must excuse myself and go take a shower.</p>
