John, if thinking is measured by parroting the latest talking points of the left, and writing imitating the petulant style of the cynical left, then you're right, Josh is better at both.

If however, thinking is measured by having your own independent ideas, and putting those ideas to the physical and emotional test. And writing measured by the clarity of an Isaac Asimov, then Lt. Smash is your man.

so far, the arm chair generals have not done a decent job of planning the post invasion Iraqi stuff.

Has anyone ever considered that Post-war Iraq is considerably different from the one expected and planned for pre-war?

Or that the war ended in 60 days instead of 6-8 months?

The MSR was still fully loaded with bullets and beans when the major hostilities ceased. The shorter time frame made it impossible to immediately fill-up the military MSR (main supply route) with civilian supplies.
