Excuse me, Mr. Powell.
Didn't you have any clue that something was amiss when you were allowed to march right into Baghdad with virtually no resistance?
Saddam's army and his Republican Guard were allowed to dissolve back into the population and voila...an insurgency was born.
It ain't no damned insurgency.
They're just dressed as insurgents. They're regular army and they should have been arrested and imprisoned or rendered incapable of inflicting this war on the American soldier.

"when you were allowed to march right into Baghdad "
Powell was the head of the State Department, not the Pentagon which is Rumsfeld.
Powell's failure was to get the UN (namely the French) to live up to its Resolutions.
All reports show that Saddam was surprised Baghdad fell so fast and he had to make a wild dash for his life. His sons were trapped in hiding and he was cornered in a spider hole.
Obviously you are 100% wrong that the fall of Baghdad was Saddam's plan. Todays problem in Iraq is sectarian and Terrorist.
Saddam being humiliated on trial was not his plan.
