You Can Take That to the _______

First, Rumsfeld tells Bob Woodward in an interview that Prince Bandar, Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. was informed of Bush’s war plan before Colin Powell was. This of course causes controversy. Rumsfeld mentions using the words “you can take that to the bank.” The day the book is released, Woodward is on Larry King. Bandar calls in on the phone, and says “Woodward’s account is completely accurate, except for one sentence.” He claims that Cheney and Rumsfeld told him, just before the meeting, that “the President hasn’t made up his mind yet” about the war plan that Bandar was shown in detail. Woodward points out this desperate attempt to change the story makes no sense – Rumsfeld had said “you can take that to the bank.” – Bandar has no answer. So how do they get out of this? Easy.

JUST REMOVE THE WORDS FROM THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEW.

By the way, here’s what the White House did not want you to see.
