Gen. Sanchez "shocked" that Centcom had Phase IV Plan?

That is what he tells Time Magazine and apparently what he wrote in his new book. He claims he did not hear about until an investigation in 2006. However there is a problem with this assertion. The Phase IV plan is prominently mentioned in Gen. Franks book, American Soldier, which was published in 2004. For him and others in the Pentagon to be shocked about it makes no sense.

The Phase IV Plan was the post major combat operations phase for the Iraq war. Sanchez was in charge of Iraq operations immediately after the war and says he knew nothing about those plans. He certainly did not improvise well either.
