From the
National Security Archive at George Washington University:
State Department experts warned CENTCOM
before Iraq war about lack of plans for
post-war Iraq security
Planning for post-Saddam regime change began
as early as October 2001
National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 163
Posted - August 17, 2005
Go have a look.The declassified records relate mainly to the so-called "Future of Iraq Project," an effort, initially run by the State Department then by the Pentagon, to plan for the transition to a new regime after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. They provide detail on each of the working groups and give the starting date for planning as October 2001.
Awfully close to September 11.
