News: Bob Woodward on Iraq--It's Much Worse Than You Think

Famed investigative political reporter Bob Woodward is about to release a new book critical of the Bush administration's conduct of the Iraq war. The book states that US troops are facing over 800 attacks per week in Iraq (one wonders how an "attack" is defined), and that most intelligence estimates indicate that the situation is likely to get worse. Of course, one cannot discuss the book intelligently until it is released. However, if Woodward makes a persuasive case that the war in Iraq is going poorly and the book is widely read and discussed, the real question will be what should be done in lieu of the current prosecution of the war.
