Donald Rumsfeld’s battle with truth and his 'Mission Accomplished'

Richard Cohen: Donald Rumsfeld’s battle with truth - The Washington Post
"More than 4,400 Americans were military casualties in Iraq. The figures for Iraqis are all over the place, but it seems at least 100,000 civilians — though maybe many more — perished. And of course, the killing continues. This is all largely a consequence of the war and the breathtakingly incompetent way the United States handled the post-“mission accomplished” period. It seems that not much attention was paid to what would happen after Saddam was ousted and his army defeated. It was as if the people of Iraq did not matter."
