Oh not it isn't. Having plans when you deliberately start a war is a solemn duty of a ruler and his generals. It is absolutely immoral to maintain otherwise. We started Iraq all on our own at the time and place of our choosing. And when you deliberately start a war, and you have overwhelming force as we did, the trajectory is not on its own. You control the points of attack, the time and place of battle. We didn't entirely because we attacked with inadequate ground force, and it turns out that the 4 stars who complained about lack of sufficient ground forces were right.
“and it turns out that the 4 stars who complained”
I’m still waiting on your list of ‘large number of experienced 4 stars have also criticized this government for not having a strategy in Iraq’.
