This according to FOX News of all sources:

A new report by Army historians levels heavy, unvarnished criticism against Pentagon leadership for its failure to plan beyond the initial invasion of Iraq.

"On Point II: Transition to the New Campaign" -- which outlines the 18 months following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime -- said too much focus was placed on a military victory, and not enough on post-war planning, due in part to optimism by the White House and the Pentagon that civilian agencies would take care much of the country's post war rebuilding.

Yeah, they forgot that they really just want to make their money while delivering as little value as possible.

No bid contracts didn't help the effort any, did it?

There should be long jail terms for that. I'm talking federal "here's your new horny room mate, Bubba" PMITA type jail terms.

You can download your very own copy of On Point II from the Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth. Of course, it is no fun to just see a sequel, so here is the original On Point report.
