Iraq--Another Day, Another Screw Up

Regardless of how you felt about the need or correctness of invading Iraq you have to admit the Rumsfeld's Pentagon has screwed it up from the very beginning. The Telegraph brings us the latest total screw up;
Outrage as US troops arrest moderate Sunni leader

US troops outraged Iraq's new government yesterday by arresting one of the country's foremost Sunni leaders only to release him later and call the whole episode a mistake.

Firing stun grenades, American soldiers burst into the home of Mohsen Abdul-Hamid, head of the largest Sunni Arab political party, shortly after dawn. They forced a hood over his head and dragged him away along with his three sons.

A mistake indeed, Mohsen Abdul-Hamid has never been accused or even suspected of having ties to the insurgency and was one of the few Sunnis to participate in the January election.

After Rumsfeld got rid of everyone who questioned him in the Pentagon there is simply nobody left who is competent.
