9. The problem with isolating this quote is that it ignores the incompetence
of the administration. I totally opposed this war because I never felt that it had been proven that Iraq was a threat to the US. However, I never imagined that the nitwits didn't have a plan. Who starts an invasion of a Muslim country without a plan? That's right, we were "greeted as liberators." But who thought that Cheney only meant for about 5 minutes?

I remember watching Nightline the night after the US went into Baghdad. They interviewed a private who looked into the camera and said, "We need more men."

It was so obvious when Rummy was giving one of his briefings, throwing up his hands about the chaos on the streets of Baghdad and calling it freedom, that things were headed downhill.
