Nobody from the Bush Administration Who Told Us This War was Worth Fighting Has Actually Fought It

"Imagine, a September 11 with weapons of mass destruction. It's not 3,000. It's tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children." Donald Rumsfeld, former Sec. of Defense, and the man most responsible for devising the strategy to invade Iraq, topple Saddam, and initiate the post-war activities. (Also the man who would have been most responsible for conceiving an exit strategy had such a thing ever been part of the invasion plans in the first place.)

"It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army. Hard to imagine." Former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.

"It's a slam-dunk case!" Former CIA Director George Tenet, when Pres. Bush looked at the paltry evidence contained within the highest level CIA report devised to make a case for invading Iraq and asked if that was the full extent of the evidence Tenet expected him to take before the world.

"What I am saying is it's an extremely complex judgment to know whether the course that we chose with its pros and cons was more sensible." Douglas Feith, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and the man that General Tommy Franks once described as the stupidest guy on the face of the earth. (And aren't you glad that your President thought such a person was qualified to lead your sons and daughters and mothers and fathers into a war he himself is unwilling to fight.)

"A year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush." Richard Perle. Former Chairman of the Defense Policy Board.
