"People need to be very careful about what they say, just as they need to be careful about what they do."

1. I disagree.

I think people can say the words apple fritters in public without causing undue comment.

2. Exhibit A: "WMD in Iraq" and susbequent invasion.

[Inland]

3. Referring to Abu Gharaib, WMD, disbanding Iraqi army, no armor,

expecting candy and flowers, failing to account for funds in Iraq, failing to catch Osama....Jesus, I can't even list all the "not very careful" mistakes of this admin., or the number of dead Americans and Iraqis that it led to.

Resign, Rummy, you dick!

7. I agree

remember when Bush said,"Bring It On!"
people should be very careful about what they say!
Do you think this was some kind of a threat to the media from Rummie?

[Double T]

8. People Need To Be Careful About What They Say And What They Do....

.....Except When It Comes To the Bush Administration. This Is The Second Time This Administration Has Given This Warning.

12. Ari Fleischer Press Briefing 9/26/01

MR. FLEISCHER: I'm aware of the press reports about what he said. I have not seen the actual transcript of the show itself. But assuming the press reports are right, it's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. And that's why -- there was an earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party -- they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.

19. Yes. That was bad enough.

However, it's now come straight from one of the inner circle mouths. We have a cabinet member to whom we can directly attribute this.

This is fucking huge. Hope it's written as the epitaph on the tombstone of that thing we used to call democracy.

[Maddy McCall]

9. And with this, our founders are officially rolling in their graves.

[Mythsaje]

11. Rather

they rolled over when Bush was elected. Now they're spinning like a chunk of wood on a lathe. Any day now smoke will be rising from their tombs.

[ET Awful]

10. Okay Mr. "You go to war with the army you have,

They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time ... And if you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can be blown up. And you can have an up-armored humvee and it can be blown up"

Fuckin' scumbag

[tuvor]

13. Hey, remember Ari Fleischer said the same thing? n/t

Every DUer who visits this site today needs to read this quotation. Every DUer needs to respond in this thread.

Democracy is officially dead. If nothing else has shown this to apolitical people, this quotation should rile up even the most middle-of-the-roader.

18. Your secret's safe with me

My lips are sealed.

I'll not betray my Great Leader!

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

21. And then Winston Smith was executed for his thought-crime. n/t

[entanglement]

20. Sounds like a threat to me n/t

[Tamarin]

22. Is this why he said very *carefully*

*We know where the weapons are, they are in the area around Tikrit, a little North, South, West and East of there*?

[underpants]

23. Well you know... he really wasn't all that sure about it

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Tamarin]

24. I think he was covering all the Known Unknowns

Thanks for the welcome.

26. Oh, Fuck you Rumsfeld.

How's that for being careful about what I say?

[flordehinojos]

28. WHY?

WHY DO PEOPLE NEED TO BE "VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY"... unless, of course, he is telling us in so many words that we are now living inside a very repressive dictatorship run by the bush shit in the white house and of which he is one of the jars which preserves the bush shit.

Bush: liar, amoral bastard!

[spanone]

29. Go fuck yourself mr. numbnuts.

30. Kick

:kick: Rumsferatu's ass

[Straight Shooter]

32. Well, some govt. official who talked to Newsweek wasn't very careful.

Is that the one to whom Rumsferatu is referring?

I think the administration blew its outrage capital on the Killian memo, so all this posturing and faux outrage over the Newsweek article is causing people to become a little weary over the administration's tendency to always blame someone else. They have now established a pattern of nonaccountability no matter the circumstances.

And the truth is, this info about the desecration of the Qur'an has been in the news over and over and over, in various forms, and in many publications. This serves the White House from the standpoint of deflecting from the UK minutes. That's the only reason for all this brouhaha.

[HughBeaumont]

33. This bloodthirsty berzerker can eat me.

That's right, Rums-Tepes, EAT ME!! Same goes for Bush, Cheney, Rice, Frist, Delay and the rest of your fuckwit asshole, world-destroying fiends. It's called THE FIRST AMENDMENT, part of the Constitution that's, unfortunately for your merry band of schvienhunts, fireproof.

He who dies with the most cash is STILL WORM FOOD, idiot.
