let's express a little more about the others... state department loaded with dnc supporters who wanted it to fail. Wasn't Iraq turned over to state department for control after the war. Was it pentagon responsibilities to plan for political action after winning the war or should it have been state department to put a plan into action.

Since most of the state appeared to be fighting bush all the way to leave everything as it is,mode.. vs go into Iraq. i doubt they helped much,, certainly Powell never gave much support from staying in his seat back home vs traveling around the world to build consensus. remember Powell who took over state job but said he didn't want to travel?

The state department as i recall had more negative leaks to nyt, and others, it appeared we were fighting two wars one with Iraq and one with State Department. Of course we had a generation of cia who's noses were out of joint because they didn't know a thing about what was going on in the world.. and i assume most of them were stationed in embassies. kind of chummy jobs for them and bush says let's stop Saddam before he gets nukes up and while he keeps feeding cash to suicide bombers and supporting Al. Q. with training camp in north of Iraq testing poison gas etc.
It must have upset their foreign relations with these countries back a hundred years... Who does Bush think he is?

Now the above may be complete exaggeration of facts but so is it blaming administration for planning every action going into war. It would be great if the press would move on and support our troops, the kennedy's dubins, dodds, etc started to contribute something in congress than block everything.
