Fiasco

Have any of you read, or heard of this book entitled "Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq"? It's by Thomas E. Ricks, a reporter for The Washington Post who speaks out against the war.

My mother-in-law, Debi mentioned it in conversation the other day. It was recommended to her by Oregon's Republican Senator, Gordon Smith (Debi co-chaired his Southern Oregon campaign a few years ago). Sen. Smith is a Republican who has taken the unpopular (within his party) stance of opposing the war in Iraq . He told Debi that this book, "Fiasco" helped him form his current opinion on this war.

I started reading it online, but could only get so far. It seems like an interesting read.
