Yahoo! News - Dissension Grows In Senior Ranks On War Strategy: "Asked who was to blame, this general pointed directly at Rumsfeld and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz. 'I do not believe we had a clearly defined war strategy, end state and exit strategy before we commenced our invasion,' he said. 'Had someone like Colin Powell (news - web sites) been the chairman [of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], he would not have agreed to send troops without a clear exit strategy. The current OSD [Office of the Secretary of Defense] refused to listen or adhere to military advice.' "

Exactly what many have been saying. Why would Bush be so adamant about going in? Why would he also ignore an exit strategy? Perhaps because he felt that God was directing him and if so, then God would take care of the details?
