Hi stockman_scott; Re: USA Today quote: "Yet holding the administration's actions up to Rumsfeld's penetrating questions spotlights significant holes in its preparations for anything but a best-case scenario. Without bracing the public for the possibility of a war that produces high U.S. casualties, increased terrorism or wider conflict in the Middle East, the administration risks eroding support crucial for effective wartime leadership."

If the purpose of the administration is to simply (1) influence Saddam to really give up WMDs, and (2) influence the US congressional elections, there's no need for Rumsfeld's analysis to be free of holes.
