Bush's War For Reelection : Iraq, the White House, and the People

Bush s War for Reelection: Iraq, the White House, and the People goes inside the White House and the Pentagon to show how the overthrow of Saddam Hussein was a Bush goal before 9/11 and how 9/11 became the justification. Bestselling author James Moore examines the unprecedented efforts by the Bush administration to suppress and distort intelligence, and withhold the truth from the American public, including an in depth discussion with Joseph C. Wilson, the former ambassador, whose CIA agent wife was allegedly exposed by Bush operative Karl Rove. Using his deep resources and contacts, Moore takes you inside the war and provides a view of combat in Iraq, which the U.S. government has managed to keep from the American public. Senior officers and troops on the ground tell Moore exactly what happened in the war s opening days, including the real causes of the ambush of the 507th Mechanized Company where Jessica Lynch served. Exclusive interviews and documents also detail how the deaths in Charlie Company at the Battle of Nasiriyah were connected to the tragedy of the 507th, and how an American fighter pilot appears to have killed U.S. Marines. James Moore also interviews a Lieutenant Colonel from the Texas Air National Guard who claims to have witnessed "embarrassments" being removed from the Guard records of President Bush. And he tells the emotional stories of military families committed to the service of America, and how they are coping with the loss of their loved ones. Bush s War for Reelection carefully explores the moral questions related to pre emptive war and its effects on the future of all Americans. Drawing on high level sources in the Bush administration, the U.S. military, media, political operatives, and the families of soldiers who are doing the fighting and dying, Moore exposes the political and economic underpinnings of the rush to war. In the final analysis, the devotion and trust of American troops have been taken advantage of by a White House that has skillfully manipulated perceptions of the war on terrorism and Saddam Hussein. Combining the dramatic tension of combat with the intrigue of presidential and global politics, Bush s War for Reelection delivers a version of current affairs and recent U.S. history, which, until now, had gone unwritten.
