Second Verse Same As The First

In an effort to support the troop surge, Bush recently claimed that success would require not weeks but months. Why does this administration insist on repeatedly shooting itself in the foot? In April 2003 Rumsfeld made the erroneous claim that success in Iraq might require six weeks but "I doubt six months". Bush declared victory from the deck of the USS Lincoln in May 2003 despite the administration's total lack of planning and foresight for post-war Iraq. With such mistakes behind you why would you risk another?
