Married With Children was a great show.
Much reviled in it's time, but tame compared to whats on now.
For the most part, a lot funnier also.

SEC. RUMSFELD: …We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.
I had a Rumsfeld moment just the other day. I couldn't find my car keys and said to myself, "I know they are here somewhere." referring to my living room.
I guess by somepeoples definition, I knew exactly where they were and my keys weren't lost after all.
But when I found them in the ignition, I guess that makes me a liar.

I guess then, by that you are saying Rumsfleld personally put the WMD somewhere in the Iraq desert and just couldn't recall where.

I still think the nutcase in Iran poses more of a threat than Iraq ever did, considering that back in 1991 the Iraqi army surrendered to cnn cameras, and the current Iarn govt wants a nuke to wipe Isreal off the face of the earth

It's another build-up to war circa 2002. Identical.
Iranians haven't been the aggressors of any war in over a century. What country can boast such a record? Can yours?
Maybe I'm hyper-sensitive about all this, because it looks to me like the exact same crap that went down only a few years ago, and is going down again right now. A carbon copy.
Collective amnesia strikes again... which begs the question: How long can a malady such as amnesia be regarded as cyclical before it must be regarded as something else entirely?

What would make you a liar is if you denied ever saying to yourself, "I know they are here somewhere".

Translations are a tricky business. Less so if you have a vested interest in their meaning.
What Ahmadinejad actually said, was:
"The occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time."
He was not making a threat, he was making a hopeful case for, to him, an almost metaphysical inevitability.
And even in so saying, was only quoting someone else who said these words. Khomeini urged pro-Palestinians not to give up hope when he originally said this.
He did NOT in any way say that he was going be the one to make it so. Did NOT say that Israel was going to be wiped off the face of the earth by him, or by nukes, or by his nukes.
In fact the words used by Ahmadinejad are tempered compared to everything that's been said against Israel in the last 35 years.
Because "inevitability" was all he said. And we should all be well versed in parsing that kind of gibberish by now. Personally, I don't take it any more seriously than the nuclear power that is Pakistan having its fair share of beefs with the nuclear power that is Israel. It's the same garbage that these countries have been saying for years. Somehow, they get by.
Only in this case, Bush is lookin' to get his arse out of a jam, by once again gettin' the kids involved.... in yet another misguided and mismanaged war, using yet another bogus call to war (and the usual bull#$%^ misinformation that it always entails).
Last week it was the threatening spectre of some smoking gun 45 minute mushroom cloud. This week it's... well, it's the same thing. Same exact thing.
Deja vu.
There's a line in some song.... forget what: "Some people can't be told, ya know, they just gotta learn the hard way."
And then there are other people who, no matter what, will just never ever learn.

So, do you translate for a living? How do you "know" what he said?

The Iranian president really didn't mean to imply that he wants Isreal wiped off the map.....that's why he always corrects the "translation" errors after they explode in the west's news headlines, causing world-wide condemation.
Really, he is just a misunderstood peace seaker.

I am not sure that Israel even shows up on the maps in ME schools. I recall seeing this on a CBC documentary. I remember seeing classrooms where kids were being brainwashed with a variety of anti-western hatred.
Anyway my point is that in their ME schoolbooks, the maps of the ME don't show the existence of Israel. It's simply not on the map.

I like old Rummy just swell. I think he will be A. oK!
-
And here I thought this thread was about Rumsfeld.
-
who?
Rummy the Dummy?
The near-dead Mummy?
that old retired CIA analyst ate him for breakfast.
was almost sorry for Rummy.. he just seemed kinda punchy, alzheimierish even.
That old bastard should be asked to step down. He ain't 100%.. and that job needs a 100 percenter in the seat.

Only if you think that my keys were not put in my ignition by some conpirators.
The point is that saying "they're are in the area of... somewhat" is not much of a definitive statement, much like someone declaring, "Gawdammit, I just know my keys are in here, somewhere."

It would noy make me a liar if I denied saying "I know they are here"
What I got from the posted reference was that the statement, “We know where they are.” is much less definite than the statement when taken in context.
A statement saying, "I know my keys are here" is much different from "I know my keys are here... somewhere."
Context means a bunch.

OK go ahead, let one of the countries over there have a nuclear bomb. if they don't use it against another country before we all die of old age I'll admit being wrong, but when they use it I'm going to say I told you so.
Believe me I hope I'm wrong about it, I really don't like the idea of haveing mushroom clouds everywhere.

How could you be defending such a messed up analogy?
Rumsfeld said: "We know where they are."
This implies, well, knowledge, and the expression of same. It doesn't matter if WMD turned out to be "in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." He told us it was somewhere there. He supposedly knew.
But it wasn't there.
See the problem?
So I dunno what kinda satellites yer using, but I don't know how you can see something that isn't there. I don't know how you can even infer it.
Let me ask you this, Holden....
How does something that doesn't even exist get noticed, identified, examined, analyzed, and then propagandized into a war?
How?
Rummy didn't lie..... my arse. They all did. No matter where you lost yer keys.
Lol..... It's like you want us to think that this was all some kind of tragic accident... .... no different than the mistake of a set of misplaced keys.

Did you ever wonder why Colin Powell is not SecDef? Experience, judgement, oh wait, he told Bush he would'nt be a lackey. Nevermind.

I think we can deal with the situation prior to it going nuclear. I don't think this administration is the one to deal with it though. Who can trust 'em now?
And just thinking about Rummy the Old Dummy being the guy El Presidente 'has full confidence in' with the football makes my sphinchter shrink.

Hell, I lost ten bucks just last week. I know it's in your living room somewhere too. Mind if I come in and shoot up the place? I might not find my ten dollars, but I'll have at least liberated the dust mites under your couch during my search.
