Pot Calling Kettle! Pot Calling Kettle!

Administration officials are blaming Prime Minister al-Maliki for badly planning the attempt by the Iraqi Army to crush the Mahdi Army in Basra.

Indeed, if there is one thing that the Bush Administration has demonstrated expertise in doing, it is in poor planning. Some unnamed weasel said the Iraqi Army "went in with 70% of a plan." As opposed to Bush, who invaded Iraq with maybe 50% of a plan?

From the Iraq War, which has done little other than strengthen Iran's influence while enrichening thieves like Halliburton, KBR and Blackwater, to the response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which made some contractors wealthy while devastating the Gulf Coast, the one constant of the Bush Administration has been piss poor planning.

So they ought to know it when they see it.
