A tribute to Condoleeza Rice and George W. Bush who, despite voluminious evidence to the contrary, said, "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile," adding that "even in retrospect" there was "nothing" to suggest that" and "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," respectively.

RUMSFELD CONTRADICTS BUSH THEN CAVALIERLY DISMISSES TROOPS’ LIFE & DEATH CONCERNS
George W. Bush to Tim Russert:
And the other thing that I think it's important for people who watch the expenditures side of the equation is to understand we are at war, Tim, and any time you commit your troops into harm's way, they must have the best equipment, the best training, and the best possible pay. That's where we owe it to their loved ones.

Don Rumsfeld to soldier about to be sent into war zone concerned about lack of armored vehicles:
Rumsfeld replied that, "You go to war with the Army you have," not the one you might want, and that any rate the Army was pushing manufacturers of vehicle armor to produce it as fast as humanly possible.
And, the defense chief added, armor is not always a savior in the kind of combat U.S. troops face in Iraq, where the insurgents' weapon of choice is the roadside bomb, or improvised explosive device.
"You can have all the armor in the world on a tank and it can (still) be blown up," Rumsfeld said

Tell me again why it was imperative to lauch the attack sooner rather than later. Actually, it was because the inspectors were coming up seriously empty in the their search for WMD. If they were allowed to continue their inspections and continued to come up empty, the primary rationale for invasion would be removed.
