What Utter Bullshit.
Tony Snow: 'I'm Not Sure Anything Went Wrong' In Iraq
Tony Snow, military historian: "...no, Jessica, the fact is, a war is a big, complex thing. And what you're talking about is a 2002 assessment. We're now in the year 2007, and it is well-known by anybody who has studied any war that war plans immediately become moot upon the first contact with the enemy." (emphasis mine)

Maybe he was just being philosophical, as in, we can't really be sure of anything in the corporeal world.
On second thought, probably not.
No, Trusty, probably not. Nice try, though.
I wouldn't be surprised if the administration's defenders took it that way. And I wouldn't be surprised if ex-generals like Powell and Swartzkopf were totally laughing their asses off, either.
