Quotes about Afghanistan War

Here is an interesting quote from the NYtimes about what over 90,000+ classified documents reveal:

"The debate in Washington has focused on counterinsurgency and the big picture, but these documents show that complex policies are not going to work because no one knows how to implement them on the ground."

"The leak reveals what war is — a confused and dirty exercise where goals can be quickly lost in the confusion of an actual fight."

These quotes also apply to other situations such as an implementation of a new information system, a new interdisciplinary initiative, an enterprise architecture strategy, etc.
