Book Cover & Preview Text
“I don’t know that, and frankly, I don’t give a shit. So much of what that bird-brained president of yours has been doing and saying to work us up into getting into this fight has certainly been less than forthright.”
“What the hell are you saying? I thought you were one of his biggest supporters. You gave buckets to his campaign.”
“More out of respect for his old man than any special regard for him. If I had had any idea he was going to be stupid enough to pick a fight with that prick in Iraq…I can’t believe this guy. He’s going to get a lot kids killed for no good reason. The whole thing’s a crock.”

About the Book
Was the war in Iraq, our first preemptive war, justified? Is it possible Iraq, while suffering through eleven years of economic sanctions, could have so thoroughly rebuilt its military after its disastrous defeat in 1991 to be a military threat to the United States? Is it possible rearmament on such a scale, had it occurred, could have been kept hidden? Despite the several Iraqi efforts, made months before the war started, to refute the Administration’s claims they had weapons to hide, despite the many indications they were right, we still went to war. Why? To free us of this imminent danger, to avenge 9/11, Why?
