Im not a Rumsfeld fan but itwasnt him who pushed the Iraq war. According to his personal account, He was surprised as others in the DOD when this was dropped in his lap. This was Wolfowitz and Cheney. If the intel community gamed the war on someones bequest, every dead soldiers family should demand another congressional hearing and demand prison time for those responsible. I believe GWB was misled, and IMO, we should have killed Saddam in 1991-1992 and not fought the same war twice.
If he was misled he let himself be misled. I truly believe that W wanted Saddam's head on a platter and was going to get it one way or another.
