It would be hard to match Dr. Strangelove, I suppose, but aren't you setting bar a little low? Wouldn't you want the administration to do much, much better than Dr. Strangelove?
What do you make of Cheney's claims that we would be greeted as liberators? Or Wolfowitz's dismissal of General Shinseki's estimates of necessary troop levels? Or Wolfowitz's claim that the war would finance itself with Iraqi oil?
Can you name a single credible person who will say that the Bush administration did a good job of planning for the post-war period?
EDIT: And how could I forget the
Project for a New American Century? Those are Dick Cheney's boys, and they are about as close to Dr. Strangelove as you are going to get.
