Well gee, I'd hope to shit and shout, Mr. Rumsfeld. We sent in the American wehrmacht against a foe that had neither the men nor the materiel to mount an effective military defense of their country, no navy, no air force, and damn few ground troops. The country had been under international embargo for over a decade. And they had about as much chance to resist the billion-dollar-a-day American war machine as the Poles did on their cavalry horses of beating the German Panzers in 1939.

I'd like to think the Indianapolis Colts could similarly take the measure of a six-man football team from the quad ward at Walter Reed. And how many thousands of people, military and civilian alike, died while you and your team of Keystone Kops were trying to figure out Phase 2?
