" they came to agree in the end with most of his arguments for 'light and swift' to actually topple Saddam's forces... but, for the OCCUPATION. They very *clearly* expressed their professional opinions about the need for a much larger force of boots on the ground to hold"

I seem to remember that Colin Powell criticised the plan for not having a large enough liberation force and I don't recall him being critical of the size of the police force. He may have changed his tune later to take advantage of the new opportunity.
