I'll just say that I don't think it was a very good idea to announce plans for the operation in advance of launching it.

If you are looking to eliminate the insurgents, then why warn them?

I heard that the plan/timing was 'announced/leaked' to the media in advance of the operation to fool the insurgents and make them show their hand as to what they had planned to do when we went in to help minimize our casualties--if that's true it may have been a wise move by the military/intellegence community.
