From Congressional Record: Mr. Black: All knew that “the effort would take years and be messy and difficult?” I guess you’ve forgotten the words of the Vice-President, “It will go relatively quickly… weeks rather than months.” And Sec. Rumsfeld, “It could last 6 days, 6 weeks. I doubt 6 months.” And Ken Adelman: The war will be a “cakewalk.” What no one knew is the unbelievable lack of planning and incompetence in carrying out this unnecessary war.
