FORT EUSTIS, Va. - Long before the United States invaded Iraq in  
2003, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld forbade military strategists  
to develop plans for securing a postwar Iraq, the retiring commander  
of the Army Transportation Corps said Thursday.

In fact, said Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, Rumsfeld said "he would fire  
the next person" who talked about the need for a postwar plan.
