War and Decision: Doug Feith Explains

Karen Kwiatkowski / LewRockwell.com:
Doug Feith has collected his memories from inside the Pentagon, circa 2001-2005. Henry Kissinger blurbs for the back cover, "Even those, as I, who take issue with some of its conclusions, will gain a better perspective from reading this book." I have probably read more of Feith's 674 pages than Kissinger did - and strangely enough, I find myself sharing the old devil’s take, just this once. On page 3, I gained my first ah-ha moment. Feith relates that upon being notified in Moscow that a second plane had struck the towers in NYC, he heard Bush say on CNN "Terrorism against our nation will not stand." Feith immediately thought of Iraq, because Bush the younger had eerily echoed Pop's words during the long U.S. mobilization for war against Iraq in the fall of 1990.
