Product Description
Doonesbury.com's The War in Quotes is a startling account of the Iraq War, told entirely in the words of those who conceived, planned, advocated, and executed it. Presented in chronological order in thematic groups against a timeline of key events, this astonishing record of remarks both public and private speaks for itself, chronicling the dramatic unfolding of America's first preventative war.THAT WAS THEN "Once you've got Baghdad, it's not clear what you do with it. It's not clear what kind of government you put in place. How much credibility is that government going to have if it's set up by the U.S. military?" --Dick Cheney, 1991 MIND-SET "F*** Saddam. We're taking him out." --George W. Bush, to three U.S. senators, March 2002 WMD "If the president wants to go to war, our job is to find the intelligence to allow him to do so." --Alan Foley, director, CIA Weapons Intelligence, to staff, December 2002 THE PLAN "There was no guidance for restoring order in Baghdad, creating an interim government, hiring government and essential services employees, and ensuring that the judicial system was operational." --3rd Infantry Division's official after-action review INSURGENCY "I really qualify it as militarily insignificant. They are very small. They are very random. They are very ineffective." --Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno, June 18, 2003 REALITY "Does [the Iraq war strategy] make America safer?" --Sen. John Warner "I don't know, actually." --Gen. David Petraeus, in Senate testimony, September 11, 2007

It's a crime that this book is so funny December 14, 2008
"The War in Quotes" clearly and simply documents the Orwellian double-speak that has characterized the Bush administration and the multiple strings of lies that brought us the quagmire in Iraq.
Awesome December 12, 2008
This is very well put together, its like a storyline made of real (and ridiculous) quotes made from the Bush regime. There were things said that was even shocking in here, and its amazing how many of these wern't made into a bigger deal.
More than just a quote dump October 20, 2008

These are brilliantly juxtaposed to create a joyful, hilarious, absolutely heartbreaking record of the most tragic foreign policy fiasco in American history. It's also a breathtakingly concise indictment of our country's worst presidency.
