Tom Friedman: "Donald Rumsfeld tried to prove that a small, mobile army was all that was needed to topple Saddam, without realizing that such a limited force could never stabilize Iraq. He never thought it would have to. He thought his Iraqi pals would do it. He was wrong."
After a three month break to complete his next book, Friedman returns to the New York Times today with a scathing op-ed analysis of the US effort in Iraq. He adds "Because each time the Bush team had to choose between doing the right thing in the war on terrorism or siding with its political base and ideology, it chose its base and ideology."
On Face the Nation this morning, Friedman said that even if an successful Iraqi election is held, a post-election civil war is inevitable due to the complete lack of security in the country.
The credible evidence, reporting, and analysis of our failed policy in Iraq continues to mount.
