The BBC is carrying a story that the National Security Archive has obtained declassified Central Command documents from August 2002, detailing the plans for the invasion of and aftermath in Iraq. To quote NSA executive director:
"Completely unrealistic assumptions about a post-Saddam Iraq permeate these war plans," NSA executive director Thomas Blanton said in a statement posted on the organisation's website.
"First, they assumed that a provisional government would be in place by 'D-Day', then that the Iraqis would stay in their garrisons and be reliable partners, and finally that the post-hostilities phase would be a matter of mere months'," Mr Blanton said.
"All of these were delusions," he added.
