In case you've forgotten....

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-03-31-then-and-now-usat_x.htm

excerpts:

Feb. 7, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to U.S. troops in Aviano, Italy: "It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
