What is the book about the first thousand days of the Iraq war and lessons learned?

July 21st, 2010

KAR36 asked:


I am assigned to prepare a briefing on this book and I cannot find it anywhere.

I recall that the title has “thousand days” in it and that it is about the Iraq war.

Does anyone know either the title or the author?

Thank you. I have been to five book stores in two different cities and I cannot find it.
It is actually about lessons learned in the first 100 days. That explains why I could not find it.

Before the Jessica Lynch incident in Iraq, did the US goverment deny having women in Iraq?

July 17th, 2010
iraq
Nick asked:


In other words, did the government try to deny the fact that servicewomen are being engaged in combat in Iraq? Did they try to glorify Jessica Lynch’s rescue and cover it up at the same time?
I suspect they’re still trying to deny that women are still being engaged, even though they’re not officially supposed to.

Is granting sovereignty to Kurdistan and other regions within Iraq a good idea?

July 16th, 2010
iraq
Yahoo Sucks asked:


Many people have proposed the idea of granting sovereignty to different regions within Iraq. I’m on the fence with this idea as I do not fully understand the cultural diversity in Iraq. I will say that Iraq gained sovereignty from Britain in 1932, the Kurd’s have been without a country for some time and Saddam had been using tribal leadership to hold Iraq together under his rule.

What are the pros and cons of granting sovereignty to the different regions within Iraq?

What happened to the Billions sent to Iraq by the Bush Administration?

July 15th, 2010
iraq
Reba K asked:


The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.

The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.

In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors.

Who deserves prosecution over this loss of US funds?
