"Bush was ill served by advisors who lied about WMD"

We do not know this to be the case. We are not to this point sure that there are none.

I'm referring to the gross undermanning of the occupation forces. This is truly outrageous. We should have had twice the force in there, secured the borders, disarmed the population and imposed our will immediately. It has been obvious that there was no sound planning to deal with the aftermath of the war to oust Saddam. This is needlessly costing American lives.

Now Rumsfeld is expressing remorse but it is a little late in the day. The opportunity to do it right has been squandered and this will very likely lead to a President Kerry. Bush has likely thrown away his reelection based on the horrible advice of his in-house "experts" whose hubris was palpable.
