They have forced significant changes in force deployment and timelines. It is a major srew-up. I'll tell you what is "significant", "significant" is when a Panzer division completely busts up your line and isolates your advanced forces for WEEKS. Time to get real. It's a shame you aren't leading this war effort. We could use you. You KNOW everything. Let's just forget that Tommy Franks said our military expects that events will never go exactly as planned and that as things change adjustments will be made.

No, I certainly don't pretend to know everything, but watched this operation transpire realizing the HUGE risks that were being taken, listening to the mind-numbing spin spewing from Pentagon/CENTCOM briefings that everything's coming up roses, and then watching enemy forces exploiting the holes. It IS significant when strike forces are diverted to covering supply lines and timelines are thrown out the window.
