>> Not yet, but I plan to. It is really worth reading. While Woodward really interjects his opinion as to how bad Bush has been, mishandling the war, etc., it also offers what is clearly a very factual account of what was going on. The reason I asked, is that if you slice through the opinion, I'm not sure everyone would conclude Bush has mishandled the war as badly as Woodward opines. In the book, Bill Clinton is interviewed by the Iraq Study Group. Clinton's remarks to the Group are significant in the book, IMO, as he says something not-so-different from what Krauthmammer said last week -- that history may come around to Bush's view on this war -- that it should have been fought and that Bush "pulled it out". I haven't heard that mentioned by Woodward or the media. The argument can be made that Bush waited too long to can Rumsfeld & Casey, but when it came down to it Bush made the decision the turned the war around -- while the Dems, including Obama, would have had us walk away leaving the region in turmoil, Bush and Rice were the people who fully comprehended the disaster that would result and took steps to prevent it from happening. I believe it is entirely possible that history will remember Bush's actions as some of the most courageous in the history of our nation.
