The war is not planned. I don't believe that any responsible person plans it. But it's thought as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only plan the Administration seems to have for winning the war is that there is no plan and no schedule for our troops to come home and get out of harm's way.
No, I don't have a plan. Whatever happens happens. There's never a plan.
Going to war is a serious matter. And it should be done very carefully and deliberately with clear national interests at stake before the United States or our Commander-in-Chief acts.
Iraq assumes responsibility for its own future... They have got to step up.
Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy.
What is certain about the future is that even the best efforts to predict the conditions of future war will prove erroneous. What is important, however, is to not be so far off the mark that visions of the future run counter to the very nature of war and render American forces unable to adapt to unforeseen challenges.
In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.
I think the whole policy of pre-emptive war is a serious, serious mistake.
The reason that everybody likes planning is that nobody has to do anything.
Plans are nothing; planning is everything.
