Thankfully, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are on the front page, with discussion from a very high level. Two books are high lighted in today's WSJ: "Lessons in Disaster" by Gordon Goldstein, and "A Better War" by Lewis Sorley. Both examine strategies of that era's decisions, in light of more recent information and most recent interventions in the Middle East. Mr. Obama has read at least one, and neither is available in DC bookstores. The WSJ article, written by Peter Spiegel and J. Weisman, offer insights into the effect of the authors' info on today's leaders and pols. The jury is still out on actual effects. The Mayor is on his way to the bookstore.
