Itachi may have the sharingan already, and may be even more powerful then Orochimaru. But his goal isn't the destruction of Konoha.

Orochimaru killed 1/4 of Konoha ninjas with his offensive, thats even with Jiraya's help.
Allowing Orochimaru the oppurtunity to get the Sharingan is extremely foolish.
Sasuke's decision is irrelevent because his decision effects the entire village.

Why can't the Hokage leave the village? She could have secretely gone, and made it appear that she was still in Konoha. But that is your best argument. With the village empty of nin's, it would need a Hokage present to protect it.

So far the best argument I've heard is that every single jounin and chunnin has been sent out. Since time was an issue, they had to send Gennins.

I think it was a good decision, tactically. Why send vauable jounins and chuunins to save one measley gennin? All the igood ninja's were on mission, even iruka had to cancel some of his classes and such. If she sent kakashi after sasuke it would be totally irresponsible. And Orochimaru having the sharingan is pretty bad but there's already a villian with a sharingan (Itachi) who is arguably better than orochimaru so its not a death sentence. Secondly Sasuke chose to leave, it's his decision. Also, the hokage should never leave the village, especially when its in the state its in, the strongest ninja in the village should be at home base in case stuff happens. If all the good ninja's are on mission and the hokage steps out to find sasuke then the village s left defenseless. It was a good decision to send the gennin team(the original 5 plus the 3 sand) because they are not as valuable as higher ranked ninja's so their loss wouldnt be great even if the mission was fatal.
