First, I think this buffoon is going to take some serious heat over leaking this little ‘report’ to the press. That being said, I’m really curious about how he thinks anyone was supposed to ‘plan’ how to run an occupied country after kicking their asses, while constantly under the watchful eye of asinine reporters, liberal UN agencies, and the ever-present court of public opinion? I’m sure some very effective plans were prepared. I’m equally sure that executing those plans under the above conditions is impossible as long as the United States is subjected to the biased, self-righteous views of the world. Want effective post-war/occupation development? I can only think of one example where this worked out, and it involved a couple of thermo-nuclear bombs being dropped first to show we weren’t fucking around.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States invaded Iraq without a formal plan for occupying and stabilizing the country and this continues to undercut the military effort there, the Washington Post on Saturday quoted a U.S. Army historian as saying.

The newspaper quoted Maj. Isaiah Wilson, an official historian of the Iraq campaign, as saying the overall performance of the U.S. Army in Iraq has been “mediocre” and it failed to recognize it is engaged in a “people’s war.”

As a result, the United States is “perhaps in peril of losing the ‘war,’ even after supposedly winning it,” the Post quoted Wilson as saying.
