Even if one moves past the mountain of lies that he and the malAdministration used to launch the invasion, in terms of what was supposed to be Rummy's balliwick - military operations - it was one of the most abysmally-planned operations in history, surpassed only by the non-planning of the occupation which followed.

When in the entire history of warfare has it been a good idea to base your plans on a whole string of dodgy assumptions falling your way? And on top of that, not having a "plan B"?

Describes him perfectly. I hope history looks upon him as fondly as it did upon Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. i.e., look at him like the monster he is.
