I will say that when Bush moved Rumsfeld out and went with McCain'
surge is when Iraq started to stabilize, and it has been much more
quiet since than it was from 2003-07. Rumsfeld's strategy was to use
less numbers but high mobility. McCain's was larger numbers to defend
the locals until they could get organized.

A strategy Obama is borrowing some elements from in his Afghanistan
policy now.

Rummy's strategy worked just fine for taking territory. The problem came
with HOLDING territory. In a traditional war where once the enemy army was
defeated the fighting would stop it would have worked fine. After all, it
took the military, what?, about twelve hours to storm Bagdad? The trouble
began after the "conquering" with several military and, more importantly,
diplomatic blunders relating to the Iraqi citizens.

Was he wrong on the follow-up to the asskicking? Yeah, he was, but he also
oversaw the asskicking in the first place. Worst ever? Stop being so
hysterical.
