Sec Rumsfeld should have had the decency to step down years ago. For that matter, the Administration should have aggressively replaced military leaders, State department bigwigs, and other senior members of the Iraq policy that failed to achieve the desired results.

Going into Iraq was the right thing to do. Bungling the occupation by maintaining support to inept but loyal aides was not.

As much as I hate saying this, Gen Shinseki was right. We needed a lot more troops than we went in with. And that was just the first of many mistakes we should have seen coming.

We didn't have them. We don't have them. So it's a moot point.
