It Was the Crazy-People Underestimation

DJ Fox has changed the tune. O’Reilly, via Media Matters:

Now, it’s a small little thing, but I picked up on it, because here is the essential problem in Iraq. There are so many nuts in the country — so many crazies — that we can’t control them. And I don’t — we’re never gonna be able to control them. So the only solution to this is to hand over everything to the Iraqis as fast as humanly possible. Because we just can’t control these crazy people. This is all over the place. And that was the big mistake about America: They didn’t — it was the crazy-people underestimation. We did not know how to deal with them — still don’t. But they’re just all over the place.

What’s news to O’Reilly was worth an early retirement to Gen. Eric Shinseki.

Seems like the crazy-people underestimation has been going around lately.
