Rumsfeld - right or wrong? Well, they certainly haven't persuaded the country of their case. And that 33% number is a Fox number. Someone in the WH must be saying a very loud Ouch!! right now. One of the questions I have is that, given the many and serious mistakes they made in Iraq, now widely written about in mainstream stuff, you would think the best politics would be to discuss their mistakes, publicly. And say something like, we've made them but the threat remains. We'll do better. And you would certainly expect Bush to do so. We've never had, at least in my lifetime, a president for whom so much was politics, public relations, and so little policy. Yet, he can't seem to bring himself to do the pr on this issue. Strange. I think the Hitler analogies are a dying enterprise. The public no longer accepts them. And they have, of course, not only been false, they've led policy in the wrong directions. And, of course, helped create enemies where none existed.
