Help. We need "rosy picture" quotes from Rumsfeld.
Yesterday Rumsfeld said n response to Sen. Clinton:
"I have never painted a rosy picture,I've been very measured in my words, and you'd have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I've been excessively optimistic."

There must be dozens of optimistic quotes by Rumsfeld. We should find them and post them all over the internet.
If the MSM won't call him out as a liar, we can!
Find a "rosy" Rumsfeld quote and post it here.
I'll compile them and send them to Atrios, Kos, TPM, Huffington, etc...
Thanks.

3. Hillary Clinton also has her testimony posted on her website--she may
have some quotes in it. Or call her office? I would she would not say what she did unless she had evidence.

5. Google his quotations -- that should bring up a few more examples...
But, here's a good one:

"I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today will last five days, five weeks or five months, but it won't last any longer than that." -- Donald Rumsfeld
