Florida's "miscalculation":
This is unbelievable: Bush acknowledges 'miscalculation' about postwar Iraq.

How about a big DUH! It doesn't take above normal intelligence to look at the situation in Iraq before the invasion to figure out what the U.S. military would be mired in. It takes a buffoon of unpresidented idiocy to think the U.S. military could go into that country, remove the power structure, and think that would be the end of it, and that throngs of Iraqis would take to the streets in thankful glee to the Americans like Jews being liberated from Nazi death camps.

It was stupid and naive, and the mad rush and frenzy to invade is unforgiveable now that Bush is admitting "miscalculations". So what did the Bush Administration expect? What do you expect when you bring war to a country? Hussein was a brutal dictator, not unlike the many the U.S. government and corporations are familiar with from decades of supporting them, but he was a dam wall that kept all the other internal power struggles in check. Remove that wall, and the U.S. has to deal with all the now empowered groups who had a beef against Hussein or those that don't think becoming a puppet regime for the Americans is a reasonable alternative. It's not advanced political science.

Making "miscalculations" when you're planning to bring untold suffering to a nation through the scourge of war is more than negligence. It should be a crime against humanity. Yet they cavalierly brush it off by saying, "Oh, we made some miscalculations."
