Lost: T. Blair's mind.
Blair today:
"It is so comforting to people to say there was an error made in the planning - Someone didn't spot what was going to go on. That is not what has created the problem. What has created the problem is that the people we are fighting have decided to give us a problem. What they have decided is that if they can hang on long enough in Iraq, or in Afghanistan, or anywhere else, then we will lose the will."
So the problem is not in the planning of the war. No, the problem is that the opposition in that war has... er... fought back. Didn't see that one coming, no? Really? Maybe you want to check on that "planning not-a-problem" argument again.
