Thomas E. Ricks

After 21 years of conflict with Iraq is there something we can learn? It started with the Gulf War on Aug. 2nd, 1990 which ended in 1991. Then on to the Iraq No Fly zone war which started in 1991 and ended in 2003.  Then on to the current war in Iraq that started in 2003.

Thomas E. Ricks has lead an interesting life. Reviewing the conduct of the Iraq War, he analyzes the weaknesses and strengths of America's political and military leaders, the long term consequences of the conflict for the military, and the future of Iraq, and the possibilities of a new American strategy for the Middle East under President Obama.
