My main criticism of your...I really like your blog. My main criticism of your book title is the use of the word "failed". Who do you claim "failed"? The Iraq War, like nearly all others, was a resounding success for the military-industrial complex that dictates our nation's foreign policy. I'm not being coy here; Iraq was a huge win for Dick Cheney and so many other Bush officials who had economic interests in the defense industry. The outcome of Iraq was "heads I win, tails you lose" with regard to the likes of Halliburton and other corporate giant squids wrapping their tentacles around taxpayer dollars and sucking hard. The monsters who love war unequivocally TRIUMPHED in Iraq, and that is the primary consideration on the part of those who rule us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
