You can't anticipate the past, Rummy
Here's the kind of logic-defying statements that the Bush administration still gets away with. This, from Donald Rumsfeld, yesterday. You can read the whole thing
here.
"I must say we did not anticipate that Saddam Hussein in October, I believe it was, and his forces would open up the prisons and let out some large number in excess of 100,000 criminals and people to be turned loose on the Iraqi people. We're now having to deal with those people."
Did you miss that in the news, Rummy? Because I caught it. It was big at the time. So you knew (or should have known) it happened. You didn't have to "anticipate" it. You could easily have planned for it. Brought in more MPs and such.
