I have read that Pollock, while a CIA analyst, predicted Saddam's invasion of Kuwait and it was rejected as something no reasonable man would do.

He starts the book by telling that story. How credible it all is will depend on how well the book goes. Right now it looks pretty credible. But I suspect that it would have been hard to impossible to agree with Pollack before the Kuwait invasion. Easy to do so afterward.
