Thomas L. Friedman

“President Bush, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld think you’re stupid. Yes, they do.
….
What could possibly be more injurious and insulting to our men and women in uniform than sending them off to war without the proper equipment, so that some soldiers in the field were left to buy their own body armor and to retrofit their own jeeps with scrap metals so that the roadside bombs in Iraq would only maim them for life and not kill them. …
What could possibly be more injurious and insulting to our men and women in uniform than to send them off to war in Iraq without any coherent postwar plan for political reconstruction there, so that the U.S. military has had to assume not only security responsibilities for all of Iraq but the political rebuilding as well?"
