"Do you expect the invasion, if it comes, to be welcomed by the majority of the civilian population of Iraq?" Jim Lehrer asked the defense secretary on PBS' "The News Hour."

"There is no question but that they would be welcomed," Rumsfeld replied, referring to American forces.

But on Sept. 25..."Never said that," he said. "Never did. You may remember it well, but you're thinking of somebody else..."

Remember kids: whenever one of these gits opens their mouth, expect falsehood. It's easier that way.
