My older brother started to prepare to go to Iraq in June of 2002 and he had nothing to do with any War Plans. The plan was well in the planning and he was preparing for the possibility of post war reconstruction and stability for Iraq, the problem was that the War planners thought Bagdad would not fall for 6 to 8 weeks, not THREE WEEKS
This notion that there was no Post War Plan is HOGWASH, and my brother is proof
And another "problem" was that they had planned for dealing with a large number of refugees and widespread hunger and medical problems. They expected weeks to months of that being a priority.
Shall we criticize them for wasting all that planning effort?
