And a lack of such planning is no excuse to cut and run.

Yup. You break it, you buy it.
You could argue that Afghanistan was broken before we came, but I think it still applies.
If you come in and do a regime-change, it’s your problem to deal with, until the new regime is stable.

This is fucking fantastic!
