“Reclaiming my time, I may note that the people who are responsible for the mistake of not putting enough troops in Iraq to quell the looting that was sure to occur, the people who made the mistakes about assessing the threat level posed by Iraq, the people who did not provide body armor to our soldiers when they went to war without adequate flak jackets, the people who sent our soldiers into the streets of Baghdad in canvas-lined Humvees instead of armored personnel carriers, who ignored the fact that we were going to need to protect our soldiers against these improvised explosive devices, the people who have made all of these mistakes are still the people in charge of our policy in Iraq. Not one person in the civilian hierarchy of the Bush administration who is responsible for these massive foul-ups that have cost hundreds of lives has lost their job or a day's vacation as a result of these foul-ups.”
