Rummy said security in Iraq after toppling Saddam was not his problem. He just watched the looters make out. He did not say "not his problem". He said, "things are messy." He had made the decision not to shoot the looters of Saddam's palaces (can you just IMAGINE how the BBC would have sob-sistered that story? Massacre of Jenin x 100! Americans CLAIM to be liberators, but look how they shoot the victims of Saddam!), and had to put the best face he could on the results of that decision. You yourself blame it on the generals (a preceding post today) when in fact the generals had seen several object lessons on the results of questioning the cakewalk view of Rummy. Generals made the military policy, not just Rummy. If you are going to convict Rummy of something, convict him of failing to see and being too slow to react to Al Qaeda's pouring of efforts into Iraq and Iran's interference. That he is actually guilty of. Don't swallow every CYA revisionist claim that comes out of DC.
