Why I thought of this:
"There are fifty ways to screw up on this job. If you can think of twenty of them, you're a genius......and you ain't no genius." -- Mickey Rourke to William Hurt, in "Body Heat", discussing arson.
When I read this:
Rumsfeld said Sunday [that before the war] he gave President Bush a list of about 15 things "that could go terribly, terribly wrong before the war started.". . . Asked if his list included the possibility of such a strong insurgency, Rumsfeld said: "I don't remember whether that was on there, but certainly it was discussed."
[Kevin Drum] I think we can take that as a "no," especially since there's pretty overwhelming evidence that no one before the war took the possibility of a sustained insurgency seriously, least of all Rumsfeld.
