A McNamara Moment Recasts U S Iraq Policy
The piece argues that CIA chief Tenet and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld failed the president and country by overpromising on weapons of mass destruction and by ignoring detainee abuses at Abu Ghraib. It casts Rumsfeld as similarly blinded by a technocratic mindset, echoing McNamara’s Vietnam era logic, and notes growing distrust at home and abroad. It cites Bush’s continued support amid crises, and warns how prison abuses and misjudgments erode allied trust and justify anti American sentiment worldwide.
