Bush to request another $120 billion for wars
"It's not knowable what a war or conflict like that is going to cost. You don't know if it's going to last two days or two weeks or two months. It's certainly not going to last two years, but it's going to cost money," Rumsfeld said six months before the invasion in March 2003.
If Rumsfeld was an vice-president of a company and made an error of this magnitude, the board of directors, under pressure from share holders, would have booted his ass to the curb. Cost overruns and missed milestones is not the way to run a company or a country.
