It was not just a PR mistake. Rumsfeld HOPED Iraqis would rise up. He ignored any evidence which countered his optimistic scenario. Rumsfeld really believed the crap he was shoveling.

He never said he expected the best-case scenarios, it was the pundits and the media who said so. Rummy has been quite careful about his predictions. He hoped for a collapse of the regime (which may come yet), but never out and out expected it. Don't blame Rumsfeld for press hysteria.
