December 22, 2007: Shadow Warriors

I am about half way through Kenneth Timmerman's Shadow Warriors, which unfortunately has the same title as a Tom Clancy book that it does not resemble in the slightest. Timmerman's book (published in November) is, in essence, an attack on forces within the State Department and the CIA that worked to sabotage the Iraq War from the outset. And, as we have all seen, they did a good job of it.

As for evidence, Timmerman provides plenty of details. How accurate they are, I am in no position to know, but they feel right - at least most of the time. I would not review this book, however, because I do not believe myself to be qualified (as opposed to, say, taking pot shots at Vanessa Redgrave). But I do recommend reading it.

Roger as good as Timmerman is and he is very good, Mylroie was all the way around this story some time ago. But her book fell flat on its face because it was so outrageous to believe that a Government agency was in open revolt against the folks we voted for. That fact alone has some very dire implications for this country.

We need to remember that the founding fathers put all sorts of controls on our government for a very good reason. Governments get out of control fast when they are not kept to heel.

Does the Bush administration want to know where the WMD�s went?
