BFD, mistakes are made in every war and at every level.

A lot of the usual suspects are going to criticize Rice for this statement, and thus betray their ignorance. However, she is dead on right here.

BFD, mistakes are made in every war and at every level.

What bugs me is not that mistakes are made, but that she is dwelling on them instead of dismissing any suggestion of mistakes as ridiculous. Of course mistakes were made...that's nature of any human endeavor. That's how we learn.

Saying that she is going to write a book critical of the war effort just rubs me the wrong way.
