Wrong. What he said was Iraq should have been handled more like Afghanistan, where we put locals up front and in charge from the beginning. Paul Bremmer took a different tact in Iraq by not immediately putting Iraqis in charge and this allowed the insurgency to grow because we appeared to be an occupying force, rather than a liberating force. Read the entire speech. It's really pretty clear what he said.
IMHO, that is the point. Why bother saying what "should have been", when it undermines the President and the troops, except for political purposes?
It's what he said about President Bush on the Today Show, not what he said about Bremmer, that's counter productive for the rest of President Bush's term.
And I misspoke when I said his voice is to high. It's too soft.
