Clip of Rumsfeld speech where he mentions the 9-11 attacks and the plane which was "shot down" over Pennsylvania.
Oops?!!

Originally aired on Keith Olbermann's Countdown.

1. I think the context indicates he said that the plane was shot down by terrorists, not the US Airforc

Of course, if that's true, then that opens up a whole new list of questions, doesn't it?

[nicknameless]

2. Sure does.

Remarkable quote. Sure hope more people start talking about it.

3. Rummy likes to feed conspiracy theorists.

He made similar spooky comments about the pentagon crash.

[Guaranteed]

8. Yeah, but it still sounds like he slipped.

Of course, people still say that the WTC got "bombed" on 9/11 (and, no, they're not referring to the first incident).

[MonkeyFunk]

4. OMG!

Did this happen today? No?

He said it a few years ago?

Oh...

[nicknameless]

5. It was posted on YouTube on 11/25

[MonkeyFunk]

7. So...

when did he say it?

[smoogatz]

14. It's old. He said it at least a couple of years ago, IIRC. n/t

[Bluebear]

20. Yes while 9/11 was fresher in his mind. nt

6. I still don't know what make of the Rick Gibney story

I think Rummy would be much happier if the plane had landed in "Congress".

[nicknameless]

9. That's interesting.

I think you're right about Rummy's preference.

10. Rummy always says things he shouldn't say to the public...

I believe it was shot down.

[spillthebeans]

11. If he wasn't evil he would be funny

"I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think, and, well, I assume it's what I said."

[Virginia Dare]

12. He feels safe saying those kinds of things...

he tells so many lies, he figures nobody would ever believe it anyway. :evilfrown:

[grytpype]

13. .

15. The Canadian Sec Def claimed "they helped us shoot down that flight"

In a briefly aired meeting I heard the Canadian defense minister say those words. They were worried wether Canadian Air force could be trusted in a negotiation over Airbases(?) a year after 9/11. The Canadians were boastfull of having helped during 9/11 & he did refer to a airliner being shot down by their jets. Never saw that piece of video again-Anyone??

[johnnie]

16. I know for a fact it was shot down

But no one cares anyway.

[Kelly Rupert]

21. Yeah, you fired the missile, I'm sure.

:eyes:

[rman]

17. Rummy knows he can be truthful on occasions

because he knows perceived mainstream opinion has it that 'it can't be true'.
If he'd be truthful all the time, people would become suspicious.

[petgoat]

18. Evidence that it was shot down:

A debris field eight miles wide.

Telephone testimony from passenger William Felt about white smoke shortly before the crash.

Some phone calls and tapes end with whooshing sound of wind.

9/11 Commission claims that the crash was at 10:03 while seismic evidence says 10:06--consistent
with gov't holding back the last three minutes of the tape.

The C-130H that was 17 miles away from Shanksville at 10:03 would have been right there at 10:06.
Same C-130H claimed to have observed flight 77 flying into the Pentagon.

19. OMFG
