As you can see in the prize-awared documentary I had linked, and could have seen from many other sources as well as from just observing the obvious, they
did not have a plan. Insiders working for the government as commandig authorities at location confirm that. All they had was a presdient leaving the decision making to others, and Rumsfeld and his demagogic talent. "I don't do quagmires", as he insisted.
I think both Obama and McCain were successful to let these two burning problems of foreign politics slip below the radar of election campaigning, surprisingly. Reason would have expected these problems to be a decisive key issue. Instead, it is almost unimporant, it seems.
Whoever looses the election, probably will be happy to have avoided needing to deal with these issues for real. While the winner will curse them.
