Summary: Should be Labeled PPP
Review: This book should be rated PPP for Pure Political Propaganda. It is one of a plethora books seeking to validate the neo-conservative agenda for our country: endless militarism and Constitutional crackdown through an increasingly Orwellian homeland.This book seeks to set George W. Bush and his key advisors up as heros to Americans, while trashing those who have to carry out the day-to-day business of building relations with the other 200 plus nations that share our planet. Mylroie uses an bristling apologism to justify the neo-conservative agenda and chide all who would stand in the way of this dangerous movement that seeks to turn the unamerican into the super-american by packaging it in the stars and stripes and selling it to the average American as patriotic. In truth, this movement and this book are nothing but attempts to produce hero-worship among the masses for the neo-conservative leaders while silencing all opposition. Either way, this book is a MUST read for all Americans wanting to better understand the mind set of this threat the our democratic republic.

Summary: Thought-provoking book
Review: This book will get your brain rolling. Sad, it is, how institutional propriety is more valued than national security. If you still think Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism, then open your mind and read this. If you can honestly admit that something that smells like fish, looks like a fish, and swims like a fish, that it is indeed a fish, then you will conclude that Bush did what needed to be done. If you are one who always, in spite of the facts, screams that there "Isn't enough proof," then forget this book and return to your Noam Chomsky collection. And, the chapter outlining the legality of war on Iraq was a great addition to the book.

Summary: Hmmm...Still a War of Necessity?
Review: True indeed, the book absolutely says nothing new in neoconservative thought. However, today it may seem woefully off message given that, by necessity, the adminstration's current company line concerning the CIA is far from "systematically discrediting" and "prematurely dismissing" the case against Iraq.
