I detest that attitude that since we don't know the future we didn't plan. Yeesh. Wars are *all about* surprises.

When did that attitude get any traction? Why is it that blowhards always seem to think that perfect information is there for the taking?

We need to heed the immortal words of Donald Rumsfeld:

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know.
