My point is that Bush's responses to Jim Lehrer in the interveiw, which I have posted the transcript of in another post in this thread, was shocking (to me). If he's telling the truth, then we have a president who went to war without thinking about casualties or asking about them. If he's not telling the truth, one would have to ask why not. And the most obvious answer, as another poster suggested in this thread, is that they have been much higher than they thought they would be, which would be further evidence of a lack of planning for the occupation. The administration's attitude has been that we're getting rid of this guy (Hussein) and we don't give a [censored] what it costs or what happens afterwards.
