"Hope Is Not A Plan," Author Talks About Iraq War From Inside the Green Zone, Part 1
June 4, 2007 7:00 AM
These days, it's not hard to find critics of the war in Iraq. But few can speak with the same level of knowledge as Air Force Major Thomas Mowle. Mowle has a Ph.D. in political science, and teaches it at the Air Force Academy. He's just published a new book about the year he spent in the so-called Green Zone in Baghdad, where most of the decisions about the future of Iraq are made. Mowle's book is called "Hope is Not A Plan," and tonight we're bringing you the first of a three part interview with Major Mowle.
He went to Iraq at the special request of an American general. The general asked the Academy to send some "strategic thinkers" to evaluate America's efforts to stabilize Iraq and plant democracy there. "Hope is Not a Plan" is an analysis of those efforts by Mowle and five other military and political strategy specialists.
