Don't Blame Me (washingtonpost.com)

"'As you know, you go to war with the Army you have,' Mr. Rumsfeld replied. 'They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time.' A true statement, no doubt; and Mr. Rumsfeld went on to assure the soldier that the Army was sending better-protected vehicles to Iraq as quickly as it could. But the remark seemed to suggest that Mr. Rumsfeld himself bore no responsibility for how the Army had been equipped before the 2003 invasion; nor for the timing of that invasion; nor for the failure to predict the ferocious insurgency that has made the absence of armor so relevant."
Maybe somebody needs to tell the Post that Rumsfeld works for the president we just re-elected.
The president missed the intelligence, then took the county to war... and he got re-elected. Nice.
Blame Rumsfeld? He works for Bush. Still does.
