If the concern was Iraqi WMD, they were working well. If your concern is dead Iraqis, we seem to have caused more problems than we solved.

As for defending a disastrous policy, I did no such thing. Nowhere did I say the disaster "can't be so bad" because Dems went along with it. And the video montage was the partisan play, not my post, darling. Which is why I thought it would have been more interesting to show the perception problem as widespread and to have some honest analysis on why it was there. Not some Thottam-ish video showing Cheney-Rummy soundbites. Surely you don't think that montage does much to illuminate the "disastrous policy" do you? Good. Then we are in complete agreement.

My post was not meant as an endorsement of socklifting, etc. But surely it does not stoop to that level to point out that Rumsfeld is now saying that he never said things that he most certainly said. Honest analysis indeed.
