Rumsfeld washes his hands of the Iraq debacle

After Rumsfeld said he had never seen a hard link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, he later posted that, what he meant to say is, whenever anyone asks him about the link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, he says he's not in the business of figuring that out, but here's what the CIA says (and then pulls out a piece of paper).

Its not credible that the issue's never crossed his mind, or that he never really thought to look into it, preferring to get his marching orders from others, and just do his simple duties.

But it certainly is telling that he'd prefer we thought so. Rumsfeld is washing his hands of the Iraq debacle.
