BLACKBURN, England - Facing protesters and pointed questions, Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that the Bush administration had made
''thousands'' of what she called ''tactical mistakes'' in Iraq but that ''it was the 
right strategic decision'' to invade and topple Saddam Hussein.

How many companies or groups would let you make two or more mistakes every day for three years?

Answer: None. You'd be booted out, fired, terminated for gross incompetence.

And that's what Bush and his cronies deserve at the very minimum.
