Summary
Dispensing with reality is not uncommon in Washington, but in wartime, it is downright dangerous and that is exactly what has been going on to date in Iraq. It is one thing to go to war with the Army and the generals you have, as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld argued a few days ago. Nearly two years later, however, both should be different and they are not. That's the real problem. ON THE US AMRY CHIEF OF STAFF'S PROFESSIONAL READING LIST 2012.
