Hmmm, even Rummy is starting to realize that things aren't going so well for the good ol' USA:

"The biggest mistake would be to not pass things over to the Iraqis, create a dependency on their part, instead of developing strength and capacity and competence," said Rumsfeld. "It's their country, they're going to have to govern it, they're going to have to provide security for it, and they're going to have to do it sooner rather than later. And that means they've got to take pieces of it as we go along." |

He also said the biggest mistake would be to not continue turning regions of the country over to the Iraqis, even if that means the U.S. has to go back and retake control because the Iraqis are overwhelmed. |
yeah, it really worked in fallujah.

I guess if there is any upside, it sounds like Bush and co. are finally starting to acknowledge reality. |
