Voici le fin mot de l’histoire sur les milliers d’erreurs identifiées par Condi, qui ont tant étonné Rumsfeld, lors d’une conférence de presse du même Rumsfeld, le 5 avril en fin d’après-midi.
De Reuters, dans le New York Times du 7 avril : « Rumsfeld also said he spoke to Rice about her comment last week that the United States had made thousands of tactical errors’ in the Iraq war. I talked to Condi about that, and she pointed out the transcript, where she said she was speaking figuratively, not literally, Rumsfeld said. (In a radio interview on Tuesday, Rumsfeld said labeling as errors changes in military tactics showed a lack of understanding of warfare.) »
De AP, dans le même New York Times : « Rumsfeld was asked about Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s comments during a recent trip to Britain that the United States had made »thousands » of »tactical errors » in Iraq. […] I talked to Condi about that, Rumsfeld said Thursday. He said she assured him she was speaking figuratively, not literally,’ and the text of her remarks reflected that. »
Quant à GW, personne ne s’en est préoccupé.
