Rumsfeld Interview BLITZER: That missile that went into Iran and hit an oil depot, was that fired by the Iraqis or as the Iranians and the Iraqis suggest by an errant perhaps cruise missile or other U.S. weapon?
RUMSFELD: The present speculation is that it was an Iraqi weapon, but it's possible that it wasn't, and that's the kind of thing that will have to be looked at, and the debris, the remnants of the weapon probably could be inspected and some determination made finally, but only after you have ground troops . Certainly if it was an errant weapon from a coalition force, it would have been an accident and totally unintended, but at least the preliminary estimate is that it was an Iraqi weapon.
Wouldn't such statement allow
Iranians extra time to prepare for invasion of our ground troops?
I understand it only "could" etc., and could not be held against him in court but he may want to watch his mouth. At least untill we actually invade Iran.
