NO ONE COULD HAVE...

The mantra of the Bush administration is "NO ONE COULD HAVE" and fill in the blank here. No one could have anticipated the strength of the insurgency in the latest nonsense to be spewed from Rumsfeld's mouth. Is there any chance he actually believes this bullshit.
The only people that did NOT anticipate this insurgency were either in the Bush administration or watch FOX News.
Rumsfeld: No one anticipated insurgency's strength

CNN) -- Donald Rumsfeld's Iraqi war plan worked beautifully for three weeks. U.S. troops quickly deposed Saddam Hussein and captured Baghdad with a relatively small force and with lightning speed.

But with Iraq on the verge of civil war three years later, the secretary of defense now admits that no one was well-prepared for what would happen after major combat ended.

"Well, I think that anyone who looks at it with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight has to say that there was not an anticipation that the level of insurgency would be anything approximating what it is," Rumsfeld told CNN for the documentary, "CNN Presents Rumsfeld -- Man of War," which debuts Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
................
"We're in a real fix right now [in Iraq]," Batiste told CNN. "We're there because Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ignored sound military advice, dismissed it all, went with his plan and his plan alone."

No one could have anticipated this level of incompetence in the Bush administration. Well, that's Bullshit too.
