Political Quotes

“if my friend would yield, I dare to say that this smells like a cover-up, and I think Secretary Rumsfeld has to assume responsibility. He is the Secretary of Defense of this Nation, and when he was asked, have you asked, Mr. Secretary, to see all of these pictures depicting this abuse, and he indicates, as was reported in the paper, well, I was told they were not available, I mean, talk about someone trying to shirk responsibility. It is almost laughable. He is the Secretary of Defense. Then General Myers, I saw him interviewed just a couple of days ago, and he had indicated that he had not even read this outrageous report. He had not read it, and so it seems to me, rather than the grunts on the ground, that someone like General Myers and Secretary Rumsfeld should step up, assume responsibility, admit their failure of leadership and have the good graces to submit their resignations to the President of the United States, and if he is not willing to do it, I would hope the President would ask for it.”
