The senators' comments followed a report by The Washington Post on Sunday that said the Bush administration is lowering its expectations of what it can achieve in Iraq. The report quoted an unnamed senior official, who said U.S. officials do not expect Iraq to develop a model democracy, a self-sustained oil industry or a stable society. "What we expected to achieve was never realistic given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground," the Post report quoted the official as saying. Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the administration lowered its expectations because "we were not prepared for the occupation."
I'm sure this is just some liberal Democrat trying to stain the perfectly unblemished record of the Bush Administration on war. It's not possible they planned poorly and not our troops don't have a attainable goal ? Or is it ?
