This be Doug Feith, who along with Wolfowitz, Perle and Rumsfeld were prime movers of Cheney's and Bush's folly. I wouldn't miss this book for the world, especially after having read so many others. (To paraphrase one 'Zoner, this is a guy who can tell 'em what to think.)

"Ex-defense official takes aim over war’s run-up. A key planner of Iraq war says colleagues mishandled invasion, occupation."

"Among the disclosures made by Feith in "War and Decision," scheduled for release next month by HarperCollins, is Bush's declaration, at a Dec. 18, 2002, National Security Council meeting, that "war is inevitable." The statement came weeks before U.N. weapons inspectors reported their initial findings on Iraq and months before Bush delivered an ultimatum to Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Feith, who says he took notes at the meeting, registered it as a "momentous comment."

Now we weren't told that, were we? Damn, someone should have remembered.
