anyone in the adminstration that thought that way were either stupid or deluded.

Again I ask you who in the administration said this action would be peaches and cream?

And again I'll direct you further up to wear I pointed out the pre-war Assistent Defense secertary Paul Wolfiwitz made dozens of media apperance talking about how America would be greeted as libartors and an irqai democracy would be built within two years. And again I'll say that this was not a consensus view as people much smarter than Wolfitiwitz in te C.I.A wrote detalied reports outlining just how difficult it would be, plus to his credit Rusmfeild last week admitted tihngs are going to be "hard slog" in that leaked memo.

polarslam: I still have an adverse reaction every single time I see either Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld or his assistant Dr. Paul Wolfowitz for the precise item that you point out - that they said the Iraqis would greet our troops with kisses and flowers, or something along those lines. From everything I heard them say leading up to the attack, I really believe that they (Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz) tried to make it sound much easier than it has been.

Until Donald Rumsfeld's memo leaked, I didn't know for sure if he (Rumsfeld) even realized that things weren't going "according to plan" in Iraq.

The thing that makes me sick is that I can see these two clowns putting on the same song and dance with the President - in an effort to peddle the whole thing. I still think that President Bush should fire Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
