Ex-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a principal architect of George W. Bush’s failed war in Iraq, now says the goal of creating a democracy in Iraq was “unrealistic” and he was “concerned” when he first heard Bush float the idea, CNN reports.

He should tell that to the dead soldiers and their families.
