Review these comments of record by top Administration officials made before the war and it is easy to see why the President would be frustrated now....frankly, his people let him down big time. ______________________ The war “could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.” - Donald Rumsfeld (2/7/03) “We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly... (in) weeks rather than months.” - Vice President Dick Cheney (3/16/03) “The notion that it would take several hundred thousand American troops just seems outlandish.” Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz (3/4/03) “We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon.” - Paul Wolfowitz (3/27/03) "There is no question but that they would be welcomed" - Donald Rumsfeld responding to Jim Lehrer when asked if American forces would be welcomed by the civilian population of Iraq (2/20/03) “[T]he American part of this will be $1.7 billion. We have no plans for any further-on funding for this.” - Andrew Natsios, then Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (4/23/03) _________________________ This last comment just makes me shudder when one looks at the current daily costs of the occupation.
