There is a persona?

"I don't do truth-telling..."

"I don't do crow-pie eating..."

"I don't do squat..."

Indeed I am an icon. Or maybe a iconoclast? I enjoy long walks on the beach and hanging out with my buddies Saddam Hussein and Islam Karimov. Me and the Hell’s Angels go way back. I've known them since Altamont in 1970 when I cracked a pool cue over some hippie's head. Oh, and did I mention that I know the Marvel action heroes too!?

Thanks for showcasing my work Agitprop. We have a perfect cell reserved for you at Guantanamo.

Cheers!

The French government angrily denied the allegations and accused Washington
of running a "smear campaign." But when the press confronted Rumsfeld about
these accusations, he "followed pattern." Instead of confirming or denying
the charges against the French, he simply smiled and said, "I have nothing
to add."

As Gardiner sees it, the intended effect of that kind of non-answer was that
"he wanted people to believe the stories."

"The US press attempted to catch up to their British counterparts by
questioning Rumsfeld on April 7. As usual, Rumsfeld's defense was the
non-answer.

Reporter: Mr. Secretary, you stated flatly that American POWs have been
executed. On what basis do you make that statement?

Rumsfeld: I think I said they have executed prisoners of war.

Reporter: Are you saying that there have not been American prisoners
executed then?

Rumsfeld: I'm not saying that either. There may very well have been, but I'm
not announcing that, if that's what you're asking... We do know that they
executed a lot of prisoners of war over the years."
