”I’m also not very analytical. You know I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.” — President George orWell Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

DOH! Like, who didn’t know that??!? Unfortunately, Boy Blunder surrounded himself with like (lack?) minded people:

“I am not going to give you a number for it because it’s not my business to do intelligent work.” –Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, asked to estimate the number of Iraqi insurgents while testifying before Congress, Feb. 16, 2005

Rumsfeld was eventually let go, because he replaced “The Powell Doctrine” – which consists of warfare conducted with overwhelming forces – with what I like to call “The RumsFailed Doctrine”, which consists of “war on the cheap.” So Rummy is gone, and in 177 days, Boy Blunder will be, too. January 20th, 2009 will be The End Of An Error.
