The plan was for King Chalabi to go in and take over. They also had to get rid of Uday and Qusay. And they really thought they'd be able to pound the shit out of the Republican guard and the conscripts--gotta have a "war" if you are gonna go to war. They didn't count on the "melting into the environment" strategy. They should have--it was a feature in Vietnam.

It's what happens when civilians do not listen to military planners who have experience in these sorts of evolutions. The suits thought they knew it all, and way too many of our citizens in uniform are dead because of it.
