Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - Stizzealth - 12-13-2008 In the waning days of the Bush administration, each and every American owes it to their country to figure out just what is going on in the Global War on Terror. Douglas J. Feith, the former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, has written a honest history absolutely without rancor and generalizations. This is not a tome praising each and every facet of Bush administration policy, but rather explaining the important people and ideas behind administration policy. This is not the typical Washington memoir, chock-a-block full of theory, hearsay, and conspiracy theories. This is a history book. War and Decision Having read the book, I can attest to its literary quality. His arguments are succinctly and clearly explained in 530 pages of fluent prose and 140 more pages of documentation, sourcing, and an index. This is a must-read for anyone desirous of separating the facts from the media spin about the Global War on Terror and the absolute necessity of its conception and continuation. ageofpericles.blogspot.com Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - swampy - 12-13-2008 Stizzealth..."This is a must-read for anyone desirous of separating the facts from the media spin about the Global War on Terror and the absolute necessity of its conception and continuation."

That's rather generous. :-) here come the sound bites Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - Wags - 12-13-2008 Is this the same Douglas Feith who was the front man for the Bush regime in offering up all that BS about the links between Saddam and Osama?

Remember that. Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - swampy - 12-13-2008 Yeah, Dakota... heaven forbid we offend the liberals around here. Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - Dennis S - 12-13-2008 Douglas Feith? Don't you people ever learn anything? Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - Wags - 12-13-2008 I think there's also some allegations that he passed classified information to the Israelis. I believe one of is underlings went to jail because of it. Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - Spock - 12-13-2008 I think I'll read Jane Mayer's "The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals" Sounds like a must read to me. From Publishers Weekly Re: Recommended book on GWOT- Particularly War in Iraq - NeverMind - 12-13-2008 yeah the war on cough cough terror. I was watching some new show called Manhunter http://www.tvrage.com/shows/id-20516 Interesting how they had to track down a guy that was already thrown out of the country before. Yep, those borders are really secure. |
