zipman said:First off I couldn't possibly disagree more as to the importance of when they are given. The idea of a plan is to clearly define what you are going to do. You may need to change the plan but you actually have one that spells out things like milestones and metrics for measuring how successful you are. ...
I completely agree with you. The cost of war in lives and money clearly demands that you go into it with a well thought out plan with goals and objectives, and how to achieve them. It provides a basis for how to handle things when they don't go as planned as well. Even athletic teams understand this simple concept of preparation. Clearly, the Bush Administration had no plan to deal with Iraq after Saddam was removed. They only had a plan to make it to half-time. Now all we have is the cheerleaders shouting "Stay The Course", etc. We're paying a heavy price for that now as well.
