While we're all enjoying the Rumsfeld stutter video, here's a link to Billmon's list of quotations out of which the Administration wants to weasel.

On March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began military operations in Iraq.
Addressing the nation about the purpose of the war on the day the bombing
began, President Bush stated: The people of the United States and our
friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that
threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder.
One year later, many doubts have been raised regarding the Administrations
assertions about the threat posed by Iraq. Prior to the war in Iraq, the
President and his advisors repeatedly claimed that Iraq possessed weapons
of mass destruction that jeopardized the security of the United States.
The failure to discover these weapons after the war has led to questions
about whether the President and his advisors were candid in describing
Iraqs threat.
The Iraq on the Record Report, prepared at the request of Rep. Henry A.
Waxman, is a comprehensive examination of the statements made by the five
Administration officials most responsible for providing public information
and shaping public opinion on Iraq: President George W. Bush, Vice
President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of
State Colin Powell, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
This database identifies 237 specific misleading statements about the
threat posed by Iraq made by these five officials in 125 public
appearances in the time leading up to and after the commencement of
hostilities in Iraq. The search options on the left can be used to find
statements by any combination of speaker, subject, keyword, or date.
