The OpinionJournal's Featured Article is a compliation of idiotic assessments made by various writers of the war in Iraq. This is entertaining reading, but it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Here is a sample:

"According to a dozen or so military men I spoke to, Rumsfeld simply failed to anticipate the consequences of protracted warfare. He put Army and Marine units in the field with few reserves and an insufficient number of tanks and other armored vehicles. (The military men say that the vehicles that they do have have been pushed too far and are malfunctioning.) Supply lines--inevitably, they say--have become overextended and vulnerable to attack, creating shortages of fuel, water, and ammunition. Pentagon officers spoke contemptuously of the Administration's optimistic press briefings. 'It's a stalemate now,' the former intelligence official told me."--Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker, April 7 issue (published March 31)
