Rumsfeld still uncertain about WMDs in Iraq
Syria-USA, Politics, 2/23/2006

US Secretary Of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was asked in a radio interview with the Michael Reagan Show "We keep on hearing from the media and from the Democrats about the WMDs, where are the WMDs, they're still stuck on that. And I think it was a couple of weeks ago an Iraqi commander, a general, talked about the fact that there were weapons of mass destruction and they were sent to Syria before the war began. What do we know about that?"

Rumsfeld said "Well, it's the kind of thing that, I read the same piece you did or at least something related to it, and we see that type of thing from month to month where somebody finds some chemicals and wonders where they were or where they had been or how old they are. Others come up and comment about things they believe they know. You know, until we get it nailed down it's perfectly appropriate for people to comment about all of those things, but those of us in government have to undertake investigations and studies to find out what the actual facts are before we comment on them."
