• As someone who is in force management, I can tell you it should be the only consideration. Any plan based on anything else is just that, a plan, not an executable objective. Lack of any of these things will hamper even the best thought out strategy.

• Classic GAO: a brilliant command of the obvious. Another invaluable bird cage liner from the folks at the Term Paper Factory.

• As obvious as that sounds, the Bush/Cheney administration, chiefly Rumsfeld, chose to ignore and punish those who tried in vain to ensure proper planning and strategy were performed (Gen. Shinseki, etc).

• why didn't you use what is now a recurring theme on gov ex "non partisan" GAO.

  When ever I see that qualifier when explaining where the data or comments come from you know its a left wing ideologue

• Why do we need a report that states the obvious? Because rather than being a waste of money, it is more likely the report details how we have failed to recognize the obvious, and how we have been damaged by that failure.
