I am not BS'ing. Yes Gen Franks was in charge of the initial invasion, but then the politicians started taking over, deciding who is going to be the interim government until the Iraqi government was elected. Read his book called American Soldier. Politicians ran a lot of the war until someone had the bright idea of allowing Gen Petraeus run things, and at that point things started to improve, starting with the surge. Hopefully the generals will continue to be allowed to run things on the ground. Time will tell.
