Ever wonder if those in control are just idiots or plain trying to make
America the losers?
No, I don't ever think that. I do think that the Pentagon is top heavy and
buried in bureaucracy. I also think that presidents with inadequate
experience are the weak link in our military chain of command. Unless we
are attacked, generals should be given the mission and allowed to make
adequate preparations. The Iraq invasion was not time sensitive except for
the political agenda. Tommy Franks did the best he could do with the time
he had.
Here is a quote from Bob Woodward's book, Plan of Attack:
"In his semi-professional voice Rumsfeld explained to Bush that the process
of drafting war plans was so complex that it took years." The date was
November 21, 2001.
