| Anthony H. Cordesman, The
Developing Iraqi Insurgency: Status at End-2004, Center
for Strategic and International Studies, December 2004. I like the
section "Denial as a Method of Counter-Insurgency Warfare."
Generally sober and moderate, he again and again points out how the
Bush administration had no plan for what they are doing. (Posted 1/9/05) |
