Rumsfeld is a Serial Liar

Not only did Rummy lie about his slams against the media in his Thursday evening interview with CNN's Larry King, he also completely distorted what he said about Iraq's supposed WMD - once again trying to lie his way out of his past statements.

We all remember his encounter with former CIA analyst Ray McGovern at an Atlanta event a few weeks ago when McGovern asked Rummy why he lied about WMDs. Rumsfeld, who apparently has no conscience, no scruples, no morals or ethics had this to say to Larry King:

KING: Before we move into some other areas with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, I do want to cover this. On May 4, former CIA analyst publicly accused you of lying in connection with the Iraqi WMDs and the administration's rationale for war. The challenger was Ray McGovern, retired 27-year veteran of the CIA.

He said, Rumsfeld said knew where -- he said you knew -- you said you knew where the WMD sites were. You countered that he said they were suspected sites.

RUMSFELD: He is an activist. He goes around and does this everywhere. He was here recently at the White House. He testified for, I believe, for impeaching President Bush and that type of thing. So that's what he does.

He's wrong. The intelligence community had suspect sites where they believed the locations were most likely. We and -- our troops had gone in from Kuwait north towards -- into Iraq, north towards Baghdad. They had been in there a day or two or three, I believe, when I was asked why haven't you found the weapons of mass destruction?

And I said because they've just gotten in the southern part of the country and we know, I said something to that effect, that the suspect sites or sites were -- meaning suspect sites were up in the area of Baghdad and north. That's where the intelligence community said them. And we weren't there yet. We hadn't covered that piece of real estate.

So he says this about everybody.

KING: You didn't lose sleep over that?

RUMSFELD: No. My gosh.

Actual Rumsfeld quote:

We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.

Here is what McGovern had to say about his clash with Rumsfeld.

The moral of this story: Never trust one word that comes out of Rumsfeld's mouth.
