Bush's Third Year - Iraqi War, Rebuilding Amid Chaos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781418474713)

Bush's Third Year - Iraqi War Rebuilding Amid Chaos Chapter 1 describes the various motives for the Iraqi War including military-imposed democracy in Iraq, oil, and vanquishing enemies of Israel under the mantle of "imminent threat from Iraq's WMD, fighting terrorism, nuke peril, Mid East stability and world peace." Bush's Iraqi policy, massive military build up with Britain as only substantial ally, relatively rapid defeat of Iraq's main forces, Bush's premature "mission accomplished" declaration on the USS Abraham Lincoln, ensuing guerrilla war and chaos, and post war governance are discussed in early chapters. Matters discussed in later chapters include defense - domestic and foreign, Bush's disastrous "Mexico First" immigration policy favoring illegal immigrant lawbreakers, negative effects of free trade policy on job losses, manufacturing, interdependence and obscene trade deficits, slow economy and massive budget deficits, foreign policy including failure of the "Road Map to Peace" in the Middle East, domestic policy issues--corporate crime, continued dumb downing of education, energy, environment, Social Security, Medicare, sundry topics, and UN and EU. A final chapter comments on each major topic with criticisms and suggestions.
