Prez sez, "Oops!"
Now the President admits that he made "a miscalculation of what the conditions would be" in Iraq after the fall of Baghdad. Shocking. That's parallel to Osama bin Laden issuing a statement about 9/11 saying, "Who knew those towers were actually going to fall down?"
Anyone with any understanding at all of the nature of the sociopolitical climate in the Middle East in general, and Iraq in particular, could have told Mr. Bush how miserably this would play out. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone on his team (I'll guess Colin Powell) tried to tell him.
Maybe we need someone in the White House who knows how to use a calculator. Or will listen to people who do.

You're asking for a lot.
