It's also clear that Bush did no planning. Others did that. As he insists, famously so, he makes decisions. And one can argue that's as it should be. I don't happen to agree with that. But it's a perfectly reasonably position.

Hi John,
If you ever get high enough in an organization to have your own planning staff you will understand how the executive decision making process works. Then we must both attain the level of having directorates over planning staffs to really understand how very high level decisions are taken after huge staff study and staff planning has been accomplished to study every possible angle of the problem. Something one person could never do alone.

Finally we will also learn to accept that plans are just plans. NO combat plan survives the first firefight. Situational changes begin immediately. The purpose of the intense prior planning is to try to be in a favorable position when the fighting starts. Later the plan also helps you remember which direction you wanted to go before the chaos of combat enveloped you.
