Technically, the rats say there was no plan for the post war occupation..

Good technical point but they did at the time argue that the war plan was ill designed and faulty, not enuf troops, quagmire...etc RAT stuff.

They may actually have a point about post war. I personally think we forgot to dot a few "I's" in that plan but we're adapting, learning and improving.

We were completely surprised by taking less than 6 weeks to complete the conquest of Baghdad. The plans counted on those several weeks to get stuff set up and in-theater. It also planned on coming through Turkey, thereby grinding up the idiots in the north (Sunni triangle).
