Thank you. :)

2. Bush whitewash

But yet it still has a few things that make you go hmmm, like the quote about Bush not seeing terrorism as an urgent issue (which he then denied saying later, when Clarke pointed it out).

4. I've heard that the book is better than his interviews about it...Depends

on how much you like to read political books, and how good you are at reading between the lines of what Woodward says. At least that's what a friend of mine said about the book in recommending it to me.

I've not bought it because I'm backed up with the other books.

:party: Happy Birthday!

5. haven't read it

but from what I've heard the most damning part is that bit about the misappropriated 700 million. . .?

Nothing next to the missing 20 billion in Iraq which has since been revealed. But it was a start, most illegal and swept entirely under the carpet.

The Congress made an undiscernable peep about it when the book was first released. Haven't heard anything since.

Bigger fish to fry. . .get "Worse Than Watergate" by John Dean.

He ought to know.

Rumor control has it that the Plame affair is about to explode. We can only hope.

8. You're thinking of "Plan of Attack" (n/t)

[stellanoir]

10. whoops. . .you're right

I stand humbly corrected. His first book about * was a total suck up affair from what I've heard. Though that may have been his strategy at the time. Who knows. . .?

6. listening to it right now

it is an interesting portrait of events from 9/11 through the Afgan invasion as culled from interviews from the Bush administration. Simutaneously, I am listening to "Worse than Watergate" and the contrast in perspective is stunning. In a sense, I am analyzing Bush at War with critical analysis from John Dean. With that, "Bush at War" is coming across as a very controlled and narrow description of the 9/11 events.

7. Ooookayyy....Then I'll ask my wife (who offered it to me)

to change it since it's possible. I need something more bloody about Boosh nowadays. Thanx for your advices.

9. Can you cash it in for Paul Krugman's The Great Unraveling?

That's what I just got for my birthday (45! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeouuuuuuuch!) and it's great!
