In early 2003, the Bush administration was expecting a minor engagement with minimal casualties and little or no resistance. They expected that the cost would be self-financed with Iraqi oil. Why do any planning when it is just going to be a cakewalk? Why agonize over the rationale for war when we are just going to get Saddam, install some friendlies and get out of there in no time? This was the real failure, even more than the lack of WMDs. Colin Powell tried to warn them but he had already been dismissed as a wimp by the Bush tough guys.
