Chicken Little

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Thursday that he never expected so many American troops to be dying at this point in the war in Iraq.

Maybe, like his King, he makes a habit of refusing to read the analysis documents prepared for him?

It seems highly unlikely that [Bush] read the national intelligence estimate on WMD before the Iraq war that consigned contrary evidence and caveats that undermined the case to footnotes and fine print. Nor is there any evidence that he read the state department’s 17-volume report, The Future of Iraq, warning of nearly all the postwar pitfalls, that was shelved by the neocons in the Pentagon and Vice-President Cheney’s office.
