An interesting idea well done. This book is a serious of satirical essays allesgedly from people in the Bush administration claiming that all is well or would be fine soon before, during & after their part of the Iraq war. There are even some pieces by Saddam Hussein himself ending in 1 that congratulates America on installing a strongman to keep things under control. Enjoyable even at this date. I recomend it to folk who didnt care for the Bush White House and anyone who just likes a knowing chuckle as people admit we screwed up. Hoping for a sequel starring another Hussein we know.
