Kurzbeschreibung
This in-depth analysis argues a new perspective on the reconstruction of Iraq The postwar rebuilding effort carried out by the United States in Iraq has been mediocre at best. Numerous books have been published criticizing the government's decision to go to war in the first place, and many have voiced concerns about the lack of planning for the postwar rebuilding process. But David L Phillips, a government insider and leading authority on foreign policy analysis, offers the first argument that there had indeed been a tremendous amount of planning for the postwar rebuilding effort that the government simply chose to ignore. Phillips reaffirms the critiques of US policy in Iraq and goes beyond those in outlining the shortsightedness and imprudence with which the US implemented its plans of restoring Iraqi sovereignty and transferring power to the Iraqis given its decision to go to war. He also documents the much-discussed fallout between the Pentagon and the State Department on managing the postwar effort.

Understanding Iraq is the keyword
11. Juni 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
To all those who have written reviews here before me: I'm criticizing this book and I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I'm a native Iraqi. David Phillips is no doubt an insider and his book unveils a lot of the confusion within the administration on how to handle Iraq. This book is good as an assessment of the performance of the administration at large. I don't believe it is good to explain the American failure in Iraq.
From an Iraqi perspective, America's endeavor in Iraq came to a bitter end not because of State and DoD rivalry. America failed because both State and DoD didn't understand Iraq's language, culture, sociology and anthropology. Failure happened because experts like Phillips analyzed and assessed the situation there from the comfort of their offices inside the beltway in Washington DC.
Before writing on Losing Iraq, try first Understanding it. Phillips's book should be put in this context. Still, the book has good information on the need to get the administration's house in order if the United States is to regain its leading role in the world, yet Losing Iraq falls shorts on debating the Iraq issue from outside American partisanship.

Case study in the triumph of uninformed dogma
6. Juni 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm inclined to be generous with the stars because of the number of clearly orchestrated negative reviews, all using identical language. Nevertheless, Losing Iraq demonstrates what happens when the object of foriegn policy is considered irrelevant, and the only consideration is ideology. It becomes clear that history, national identity and circumstances were really of no interest to the neo-cons, who were anxious to use Iraq as a proving ground for their interventionist philosophy. It also shows how alienated the policy professionals have become from those who drink the administration's kool-aid.

Madness of imperialism
3. März 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Sad but true. Entering a war with dishonorable motives (i.e., lying about WMD and then changing war goals to nation building and establishment of democracy) only gets the imperialist into more trouble. Fortunately for the US, it had enough money to get through this little bush war, but imagine what one trillion dollars could do to alleviate poverty and ignorance in America over the past eight years. The American political class has the farsightedness of a common mole. Frank Wallis explored similar themes in his _Iraq 2003: Causes and Consequences of an Imperial Expedition_ (Editions Tour Blanche, 2007). ISBN: 978-0963833211.
