"The resistance came much later - because of incompetence by Rumsfeld." - Destro
Ding! Ding! Quite the opposite is the case:
"O'Reilly asked Richard Pearle how much responsibility Rumsfeld bears for the current situation in Iraq. .....Pearle replied: "..the irony is that it was Secretary Powell and some others who wanted the extended occupation. They are the ones who did not want to turn things over to the Iraqis, who feared and distrusted the Iraqis and blocked all efforts to do precisely that. ...
...even before the war Rumsfeld's Department of Defense had argued that we should train thousands of Iraqis "to go in with us so that we wouldn't be the aggressor, we wouldn't be the occupying power, and those proposals were blocked largely by the State Department and the CIA. [Powell and Tenet]
Rumsfeld was never able to get approval for the political strategy that might well have saved us from much of the subsequent trouble."
Now, live with it. Those are the facts.
