Don’t tell the media that the insurgents have switched sides and now do joint patrols with our troops to hunt down the foreign Al Qaeda scum.

Rummy was right. This would have never happened with a larger “footprint”.

While he was right about that, and I agree - we should have had a lot more force going into Iraq in 2003, he also has to accept some blame (most should be put on Bush) for not ramping up the military after 9/11, when it was clear the "war on terror" was pretty open-ended and could take place all over the world.
