05/18/2004: "George Bush At War"
Maybe I'm a few years behind, but I've just begun Bob Woodward's 2002 book, Bush at War.
Several thoughts:
1. Eric Alterman's point from Sound and the Fury about reviews mattering more in Washington than the actual text rings true- this book is hardly the ringing endorsement of the Bush folks it was painted as in many reviews.
2. Colin Powell comes across as the kind of thoughtful leader we should have made President. He at least seems to understand how military operations work and the significance of multilateralism.
3. Donald Rumsfeld's continued insistence on "creative" military thinking scares me pretty badly- mostly because the kinds of objectives he wants addressed cannot be solved with the army. The structural inequalities that create terrorism require creative economic solutions; to be flip, food and lots of television will slow down any revolution.
4. George Bush can bench press 205 pounds. That's pretty frickin' impressive.
Once I finish, I'll add some more complete thoughts...
