I agree with you to a certain extent - the projections that allowed for the skipping of the occupancy phase were way too rosy, and represented a huge mistake of prediction (in that no one seemed to think that the SH Iraqi army might just take a powder and then pop up as guerillas) but I don't remember any war that ever stuck to plan, evenin the broad strokes. I wish they had gotten that part right. So, obviously, do the generals who are now quite eager to say "I told him to listen to MEEEE".
And, I think you willingly mischaracterize his armor answer.
