A lot of unamed sources making tons of accusations. Who would believe anything coming from Knight-Ridder?

The constant criticism of the Iraq effort is not helping the situation. The time span since it's beginning has been so short.

Hell, I would ask them if they could plan a simple event that would be attended by some 1500 people and see how long it takes to arrange catering, power, insurance, seating, security, lighting, entertainment and the like.

In Iraq we have an event attended by millions! And, there were no vendors to call, no resources and no patient people.(

Just angry ones with guns and grenades.

The psychological operations guys were betting a lot on their effectiveness in this operation. If they had been correct, hardly any post-war effort would have been needed.

Just as the Iraqis didn't respond to the pre-war propaganda, the entire country isn't responding as they probably planned.

Rumsfeld was incredibly cost-conscious, so he may have bet on the success of the psychological warfare guys.

Since when has re-building a country after decades of dictatorship and a war been a 4 month job? Why is the press consistently unable to understand that some things just take time? How can anyone still take these clowns seriously?

I always wondered what happened to Chalabi. He was riding high for awhile there, and then he sort of disappeared.

"The future of this country … is not going to be charted by people who sat out the sonofabitch (Saddam) in London or Cambridge, Massachusetts," one former senior White House official quoted Bush as saying."

So I guess this is what happened to Chalabi. And he was right. Bush was right on this one.
