I think Rumsfeld believed there would be cheering in the streets. I don't think he lied. I believe he misread the intelligence or did not bother to get the intelligence. He assumed the Iraqis would rise up.

I was also amazed to see the Kurdish ambivalence. It is being reported repeatedly that they want some interaction with US forces, but there is little teamwork going on.
