Site-essential linked up this very interesting analysis of General Tommy Franks, and how his plan won the war in Iraq.
One point of interest: The media and most especially the Arab media kept going on and on about Iraq's failure to blow the bridges on routes into Baghdad. This article strongly implies that it they were in fact prevented by special forces troops placed in Iraq days before the big conflict began.
An amazing look at the war plans, the problem is Franks' war stradegy was brilliant but there appears to be no coherent plan for managing what we accomplished. Kind of like the dog catching the automobile he is chasing "what do you do with it now?"
