What did he say?
Politics April 22nd, 2003 |Remember diagramming sentences in your high school or college English classes? All those wierd little diagrams finding the various pieces of the phrases?
Here’s a challenge for you, then:
I have never, that I can recall, heard the subject of a permanent base in Iraq, discussed in any meeting. The likelihood of it seems to me to be so low that it does not surprise me that it’s never been discussed in my presence. To my knowledge.

oh, I’ve seen that grammatical structure before.
It’s called CYA - covering your ass.
In Rumsfeld’s case, I imagine that would involve quite a bit of work as the man is an ass unto himself.
