NO combat plan survives the first firefight. Situational changes begin immediately.

I don't have any argument with that. Nor do I have any argument with Bush delegating planning. The point, as I see it, is reflected in what you wrote--"combat plan." There was appropriate planning for the combat, but not for the nation building. That clearly wasn't thought through. I suspect they took a first-things-first approach. I don't consider that acceptable for such an extraordinary and critical undertaking. You don't buy a plot in the woods for a homesite, grade it, put in the foundation and frame, and only then consider how you might be able to get water and electricity to it.
