LEHRER:  New question, Mr. President, two minutes.  You have said there was a, quote, “miscalculation,” of what the conditions would be in post-war Iraq.  What was the miscalculation, and how did it happen?

BUSH:  No, what I said was that, because we achieved such a rapid victory, more of the Saddam loyalists were around.  I mean, we thought we‘d whip more of them going in. 

But because Tommy Franks did such a great job in planning the operation, we moved rapidly, and a lot of the Baathists and Saddam loyalists laid down their arms and disappeared.  I thought they would stay and fight, but they didn‘t. 

And now we‘re fighting them now.  And it‘s hard work.  I understand how hard it is.  I get the casualty reports every day. I see on the TV screens how hard it is.
