Have we ever been totally prepared? Is perfection possible in war?

THAT is the central failure of the administration PR strategy in Iraq.

War, all war, is a series of catastrophes which, if managed well, can lead towards victory.

The catastrophic history of WWII, if you didn't know who won eventually, would curl your hair.

Our people were not prepared properly, nor were they properly led, for the Iraq war.

How would you have prepared and led our people?

"The catastrophic history of WWII, if you didn't know who won eventually, would curl your hair."

Reminds me of when I was in college, doing a term paper on WWII. I thought I'd call my veteran uncle for some info.
"What can you tell me about the war?", I said.
"Well", he said, "we won."
