| Rumsfeld: I Didn't Snub Whatsisname... |
| 2002-09-25 |
| Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got up and left the room just before his German counterpart spoke during informal talks in Poland, a move he insisted Wednesday was not meant as a snub to his German counterpart. The poke in the eye, on the other hand... Rumsfeld acknowledged that he left one of Tuesday's late-evening sessions early, but said it was not intended to cause affront. He noted, however, that Defense Minister Peter Struck was not present during part of the meeting in the afternoon. He was in his room, sobbing his heart out, 'cuz nobody likes him and he dint do nuttin'! "It's not for me to give advice to other countries," Rumsfeld said. "We have a saying in America, if you're in a hole, stop digging... I'm not sure I should have said that," Rumsfeld said. "Can we pretend I didn't say that?" No, we can't. And stop hitting him there. He'll get cancer or something... |
