"I'm surprised that he is surprised because there was a lot of us who were
telling him that it was going to be thus," said Zinni, a Marine for 39 years
and the former commander of the U.S. Central Command. "Anyone could know the
problems they were going to see. How could they not?"

At a Pentagon news briefing yesterday, Rumsfeld said he could not have
estimated how many troops would be killed in the past week.
