Light blogging today due to travel. Post away.. this is your blog!!
Thomas Ricks: Fisco
A fantastic and scary account of the incompetence in the leadership leading up to, and execution of, the Iraq war (*****)
Zbigniew Brzezinski: The Choice: Global Domination or Global Leadership
Should we dominate the world or lead the world? Great question
The New American Militarism
Listened to the author on NPR. This will be my next read.
Dore Gold: Hatred's Kingdom : How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism
Very good history book showing the origins of the Al Qaeda and radical Islamist movement. While we like to think that most of this is new, this book really points out the roots in old history which drive current events. (*****)
MICHAEL SCHEUER: Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror
Fantastic read. Supports the conclusion that we lost sight of the true war by invading Iraq. Rather than getting Bin Laden (a misunderstood enemy) we went into Iraq and have now caused more issues than we have solved. (****)
Jon Lee Anderson: The Fall Of Baghdad
Not your average reporter. Jon Anderson did not embed but rather saw the invasion first hand. A great read! (*****)
