Coming at the heels of September 11, Operation Iraqi Freedom has
focused the limelight on the way in which the United States
predicts and manages political change. The failure to find WMD and
more important, the continued violence in Iraq instead of the hoped
for democracy, has engender an acrimonious debate on the motives of
the Bush administration and its uses or misuses of intelligence.
The question of who got what right or wrong has been fought out
along ideological, and partisan lines, with supporters claiming
that, given what was known about Saddam Hussein, the decision to
change his regime was justified and detractors arguing that a group
of largely Jewish neoconservatives, acting on behalf of Israel,
manipulated intelligence in order to trick the United States into
an unnecessary and costly war. The book provides a systematic and
objective analysis of the problems that faced American intelligence
in deciphering the behavior of the highly secretive and confusing
Iraq regime and its enigmatic leader.
