Do you think enough questions were asked in March of 2003

Greta Van Susteren: Do you think enough questions were asked in March of 2003?

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Yes, I think the place where we really fell down in our planning was in preparation for what would happen after we knocked down Saddam Hussein. I think we underestimated the kind of mayhem that might ensue once insurgency started from surrounding nations, once people within Iraq itself began the sectarian violence between the Shia, the Sunni. The Kurds also were affected — not to the same degree, of course.

 

But those kind of developments would have suggested that we needed more troops. That if we were going to go in, we would go in heavy, we'd lock down the country, we would secure its major assets. We would not be in a situation where we had the kind of unraveling of civil order that occurred.

 

And so, I think we were underprepared, underplanned, understaffed, certainly undermanaged with regards to the prison situation.

 

We find ourselves in a very difficult situation, in part because of the failures of our own preparation.
