You certainly have the right to think that the length of planning by some people under Bush is an important issue but it is still unconnected to the serious questions about the war itself. If the war is either immoral, or unjust, or a quagmire it will still be immoral or unjust or a quagmire, however long or short the planning for the war was. Similarly if it is none of those things then the date that some foreign policy staffer or political advisor started pushing for the war would not change the morality or the practical results of the war. The election is also irrelevant to the specific point I made. The election will not make the war moral or immoral. It is one or the other whatever the results of the election.

If early planning of the war is somehow immoral then when the war planning starts might be a question that people care about but even assuming that (and I don't) it wouldn't change the morality or the success (or lack there of for either) of the war.
