Army History Study: No Post-Invasion Plan for Iraq

The title says it all. And it's not as though most of this hasn't already been revealed by one source after another. But according to a New York Times article, reported on msnbc.com, a new army history of the Iraq War confirms that the Bush administration and the army had no real plans for next steps after Baghdad was initially taken--and had failed to seriously address the question. And General Tommy Franks is faulted for a lack of consultative planning and uninformed short-term thinking in the haphazard decisions that were made. Read and weep--again.
