Like This is a Surprise; Iraq War Edition

The Army has the Rand Corporation study the conduct of the planning for the Iraq War. The Rand Corporation does that and submits a report that has several volumes and can be summed up as: "You idiots didn't do any significant planning for the occupation, so there should be no surprise that an insurgency was able to grow. Thanks for paying us to tell you that."

So the Army buried the report.

Yeah, as if that's a real shock. What is surprising is that anybody in the Army thought that a serious report of a study of the conduct of the war and the initial years of the occupation would not start out with the scholarly equivalent of: "You bunch of dumb shits really screwed the pooch, this time."

  1. Ah yes, shades of "The Pentagon Papers". Seems like George W. Bush was intent on replicating the Presidency of Richard Nixon, except he had to start his own war (since one was not ongoing) and, assisted by spineless Democraps, has avoided impeachment...
