"This is America," former CIA analyst says as security tries
to drag him away
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern confronted Donald Rumsfeld on why he lied about
weapons of mass destruction in a speech Thursday and was almost ejected from the
conference room by security after Rumsfeld again deceptively claimed he never
said Iraq had WMD.
The video
has already gone viral on the Internet.
"Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties
and was not necessary?" said McGovern.
As soon as McGovern starts to ask the question Rumsfeld murmurs and you can
see his beady eyes dart to the back of the room in the direction of the security
guards who start to move towards McGovern. This proves the event was totally
scripted because Rumsfeld is obviously scared stiff about the fact that McGovern
has been allowed to speak.
Rumsfeld: ...it appears that there were not weapons of mass
destruction there.
McGovern: You said you knew where they were.
Rumsfeld: I did not. I said I knew where suspect sites were
and...
McGovern: You said you knew where they were. Tikrit, Baghdad,
northeast, south, west of there. Those are your words.
Rumsfeld: My words-my words were that-no-no, wait a minute--wait
a minute. Let him stay one second. Just a second....
At this point McGovern is heard to say, "this is America," and according
to CNN, security guards attempted to grab McGovern and eject him from the room.
Rumsfeld waved them off to save face.
Here you see the security guard in the blue cap near McGovern after attempting
to remove him.
The crowd, which is always carefully selected to ensure majority support for
whichever Bush administration talking head takes the podium, applaud Rumsfeld's
answers and are also heard to cheer the attempt to remove McGovern from the
room. Earlier protests within the room were met with responses of "we don't
want to hear it," and "throw her out."
Here the security guard in the blue cap blocks the camera shot as he moves back
to the far end of the room, exactly where Rumsfeld was seen to glance repeatedly
as soon as McGovern went off script and started talking.
Audiences that are not pre-screened for subservience produce a very different
reaction. Such as the Washington Nationals baseball crowd, 80% of which booed
Dick Cheney even as he walked out on the field with injured Iraq veterans.
Here are Rumsfeld's words as spoken in an interview with ABC News.
"We know where they [WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad
and east, west, south and north somewhat."
To repeat....
McGovern: You said you knew where they were.
Rumsfeld: I did not.
Though you wouldn't know it from the reaction of the befuddled boot-licking
idiots who applauded Rumsfeld during the speech, he has been caught lying to
the American people in public again and should immediately resign.
Rumsfeld has been caught trying to change history in the past. In the video
below, an appearance on Face The Nation, you will witness Rumsfeld stumble over
his words as he is proven to be a complete liar in claiming that he never said
Iraq was an imminent threat.

The exchange continued.
Rumsfeld: You’re getting plenty of play, sir.
McGovern: I’d just like an honest answer.
Rumsfeld: I’m giving it to you.
McGovern: Well we’re talking about lies and your allegation
there was bulletproof evidence of ties between al Qaeda and Iraq.
Rumsfeld: Zarqawi was in Baghdad during the prewar period.
That is a fact.
McGovern: Zarqawi? He was in the north of Iraq in a place
where Saddam Hussein had no rule. That’s also…
Rumsfeld: He was also in Baghdad.
McGovern: Yes, when he needed to go to the hospital.
Come on, these people aren’t idiots. They know the story.
Rumsfeld then tries to deflect McGovern's criticism onto the troops and the
exchange ends.
Again, the reaction of the audience makes it appear as if Rumsfeld somehow
won the debate. He didn't, he lied again and the ABC news quote proves it.
That will circulate through tomorrow and Ray McGovern will be commended for
delivering another sucker-punch to this dirty criminal administration in the
face of a hostile Neo-Con peanut gallery audience who profess to love 'liberation'
yet bayed for McGovern to be kicked out just for asking a question.
