Google "Rumsfeld's Attack Iraq Plan" and look for yourself:

In a nutshell Rumsfeld's plan was attacking Iraq with 40,000 troops roughly an Armored Division reinforced .... Frank's first submitted plan was for 380,000+ soldiers ... a Desert Storm II and Rumsfeld "vetoed" it.

Rumsfeld did not give Franks a blank check .... Rumsfeld was a roadblock.

You can google anything and come up any answer you want, depending on the source. You can also google the WTC and come up with crackpot theories that the towers were not taken down by planes, but by prepositioned explosives.

Why not read Franks American Soldier to get a firsthand account of what happened?

"Franks defends his policies, quite at odds with the first Desert Storm / Colin Powell doctrine of using overwhelming force, describing the fall of Baghdad as only having been unexpected by cable news networks such as Al-Jazeera and CNN; the smaller force made his tactical movements far easier to accomplish.
