"Our mission in Iraq is clear. We're hunting down the terrorists. We're helping Iraqis build a free nation that is an ally in the war on terror. We're advancing freedom in the broader Middle East. We are removing a source of violence and instability, and laying the foundation of peace for our children and grandchildren."

It seems to me that some people had an unrealistic expectation that our enemy would not respond and adapt to our strategy and tactics. We are fighting a real war against real enemies.
Can anyone cite an historical war that went in exact accordance to a plan laid out in advance?
