#####these kinds of claims about the American military being "broken" pop up in EVERY SINGLE WAR we've had,#####

Does your book go all the way to Gulf War One? I remember reading for weeks before the "start", how Saddam had bunkers that were impregnable and intricate, and a 'supergun' that had a barrel larger than anyone had ever built before, and a Republican Guard that outmeasured our forces in every category, etc etc.

How did western reporters get so taken in by smoke and mirrors?

Oh yes, the book has a lot of "predictions" from the Gulf War. It goes right up to Iraq, and the paperback ed., due out in May, is updated through 2006.
