ANOTHER GOOD IRAQ BOOK

Bob Woodward's The War Within provides a closer view of what the criminal Bush regime was doing while Iraq was falling apart in 2006. I've found a couple of facts about Teh Surge that deserve a mention.

First, the idea of a surge in troops seems to have originated with Charles Robb, a member of the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group, on August 2, 2006. During an interview with Senators Warner and Levin, he asked if a surge in troops was possible to deal with the rising violence. (page 82)

Second, Rice knew in August 2006 that the Sunnis in Anbar Province were beginning to turn against Al Qaeda. (page 107)
