Harry Shearer found a good catch.

On today's "Hardball", Gen. Tommy Franks said this defending Sec. Rumsfeld-

"Ask him about the 14 months we spent planning this thing."

That would put the operational, as opposed to contingency, planning as having started in roughly January of 2002, about eight months later than what was implied in Joint Chiefs head Peter Pace's statement at the Pentagon briefing earlier this week.

OOPS.
