I thought that the first Rumsfeld quote, ..."I would not be so certain." left some wiggle room, but the second one, "No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world and the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.'" pretty well nails him.

The "immediate threat" quote in Spinsanity is a quote from Scott McClellan speaking of a threat to Turkey, which apparently was taken out of context by some; the "immediate threat" quote on 60 minutes was a quote from Rummy speaking of a threat to the US. And he could have said "That's out of context" instead of fumbling. He's used to public speaking.
