I think Rumsfeld was banking on Fortune Favors The Bold (I'm sure I butchered a good saying) or better yet, Who Dares Wins. I think he gambled on the Iraqis being incompetent to make up for the rushed war. He gambled big and won big. The plans of Franks and others, and the training of the allied armies made up the difference. All in all, a "splendid little war". It's too bad the public will be expecting that from now on. Just wait until the DPRK decides to try it's hand at full-blown conventional warfare again. :unsure
