Summary: A Great Policy Roadmap - timely, succinct, on point.
Comment: In this comprehensive, yet succinct book, Tom White, former Secretary of the Army and a retired General lays out a clear roadmap for rebuilding Iraq. It is timely, and there is no doubt that it's release has sent waves throughout the Department of Defense, and inner circles of Bush's policy makers.
While most people will be aware that White clashed with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld on several policy matters, there is no doubt he has an elightening perspective into the strengths and weaknesses of the DOD Iraq policy to date. Furthermore, his expertise in the field of energy and infrastructure only bolster the validity of his claims, that the Pentagon underestimated the investment and resources required to rebuild a post-war Iraq.
Hopefully, folks inside the beltway will invest a little time to read this quick study on what it will take to bring this state back to economic self-sufficency in a post Hussein world.

Summary: just a desperate counter punch from a shallow has-been
Comment: Thomas White was fired for being a scumbag Secretary of the Army. He's an Enron Exec responsible for everything you've heard about Enron, as well as manipulating CA's electricy market. He even used military assets in his personal business deals. Just read the papers. This book is a desperate attempt to counter punch his those that fired him. It's poorly done too: full of typo's, WAY too much white space, hundreds of pages of "appendices" (verbatim text of UN resolutions, macroeconomic charts and tables, etc.), poor binding on the book, cheap paper in the text. Here's a quick summary: to rebuild Iraq we need to take our time to develop a solid democracy with foundations of economic, social, and political development. DUH. Mixed in with these vague suggestions are questionable macroeconomic conclusions based on sketchy data. It's full of unreliable estimates for timetables and targets. Don't waste your time on this book. Also, he was paid to write it by his buddies from West Point. This is the same shadey group that got him employed at Enron and got him into the Bush Administration (before he was fired for being a buffoon). Obviously they're just trying to help him pay his legal bills with this book!!! Shame on you! White, have a blast in obscurity!
