Those three blurbs on the back of the cover are nice. Two by his buddies and one by General Zinni. What's that latter all about?

Actually, all are pretty impressive, because they're far more emphatic than even normally praiseworthy blurbs. (Although Zakaria has been a bit of a blurb slut in the past for his friends.) Zinni likes the analysis because it is militarily sensible and contemptuous of opposition-based schemes, but still, you're right, it's amazing that someone who is on record opposing invasion would gush about a book proposing it... Interestingly, if you read carefully, you'll see that perhaps the most enthusiastic of all the blurbs never endorses the book's conclusion...
