Just finished the book. Its a great read into what happened with Iraq and why we are where we are? Anyone else read it? I'm going to put some quotes in there that I marked for my own reference.

This one is about Brent Snowcroft

Most tragic, Scowcroft felt, was that the adminstration had believed Saddam was running a modern, efficient state, and thought that when he was toppled there would be an operating society left....They hadn't seen the need for security, or that probably 90 percent of the Iraqi army could have been used and saved. SO Iraquis now felt overwhelmingly insecure.

Most distressing to Scowcroft was to see his good friend and former leader Bush senior 41, as Scowcroft called him, in agony, anguished, and tormented by the war and its aftermath. It was terrible. The father still watned his son to succeed. But what a tangled relationship! In his younger years, Scowcroft thought, George W. couldn't decide whether he was going to rebel against his father or try to beat him at his own game. NOw, he had tried at that game, and it was a disaster. Scowcroft was sure that 41 would never have behaved this way-"not in a million years."
