Rumsfeld: 'If I were Israel, I wouldn't tell the US before I attacked Iran'
Former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told Fox News' Greta van Sustern on Thursday that if he were a decision maker in Israel, he wouldn't tell the US before attacking Iran's nuclear capability. He also has no faith in sanctions.Let's go to the videotape. The part you're looking for runs from about 4:20 until 9:55 (when it goes on to Syria until about 12:25).
Hmmm. More here.

He said this before... I think a few weeks ago. I'll look for it tomorrow.
So... looks like he has evolved the position. And, as we see in every direction, stating the obvious is NOT allowed, on any side. This was from June '12.

Here's what Piers Morgan said "at the end of the last segment" that Rumsfeld objected to in the video:
MORGAN: Let's take another short break, Mr. Secretary. Let's come back and talk about Israel. I want to know what you feel given that you've said now you don't think the Israel administration can really trust President Obama.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
Here's the transcript of the whole interview:
