Okay, we keep hearing about the Bush administration making plans for a war in Iraq shortly after it occupied the White House. My general reaction has always been: Yeah, so? I mean it was my understanding that the military kept up to date war plans for just about any hot spot. It wouldn't surprise me if the military is continually working on war plans for North Korea, or even Iran or Pakistan. Am I way off base here or was this something other than an intellectual exercise for the Pentagon?
