Ric Edelman, "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth: The 8 Secrets of How 5,000
Ordinary Americans Became Successful Investors - and How You Can Too"

Several years ago, after helpful nudges from Oprah and Rush Limbaugh, Thomas
Stanley and William Danko found themselves sitting atop the best-seller charts
with The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy
(1996), in which they profiled the surprisingly frugal lifestyles and spending
habits of America's "hidden" millionaires. Now Edelman hopes to garner the same
attention with this survey of 5,000 of his clients who are "predominately
middle-class" but successful investors. Edelman, a financial planner and popular
talk-show host, is already the author of The New Rules of Money: 88 Strategies
for Financial Success Today (1998) and The Truth about Money: "Because Money
Doesn't Come with Instructions" (1996). He uncovers eight basic "secrets" that,
in several cases, run counter to prevailing financial wisdom. Don't pay down
your mortgage! Don't diversify your retirement plan contributions! After
explaining each strategy, Edelman lets his survey respondents speak "in their
own words."

Yossef Bodansky, "The Secret History of the Iraq War"
PerfectBound | ISBN 0060736798 | 2004 Year | linked PNG-files | 44 Mb | 570
Pages[cut]
Bodansky, ex-director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and
Unconventional Warfare and author of Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on
America, offers many bold and contentious claims in this sprawling history of
the Iraqi conflict up to Saddam’s capture. Saddam, he asserts, was deeply
involved with al-Qaeda, and indeed dispatched a (never "activated") 500-man
terrorist battalion to North America in 2002. Iraqi forces were awash in WMDs,
which they planned to (but never did) launch at American soldiers, and which
were finally spirited away to Syria or buried in the sand. And Syria and
especially Iran, which now allegedly hosts al-Qaeda’s headquarters, have been
busily fomenting turmoil in Iraq and terror throughout the region. Bodansky
affirms the Bush Administration’s case for regime change and its larger "axis-
of-evil" worldview. But he deplores the invasion itself-Saddam could have been
toppled by a coup instigated by Russia or the Arab states, he says-and despairs
of the American nation-building project in Iraq, which he feels faces an
unstoppable jihad by a coalition of Islamists, Baathists, Sunnis, Shiites, al-
Qaeda and even many Kurds, supported by an increasingly anti-American populace.
Bodansky offers a microscopically detailed portrait of the byzantine politics of
the various Iraqi factions and their regional sponsors, along with a vigorous
critique of the chaos, intelligence failures, political ignorance and military
overkill that characterize the American occupation. Unfortunately, the book’s
jumbled narrative, reliance on unnamable insiders and unverifiable intelligence
reports make it difficult to assess its more controversial claims-especially
those about Iraqi WMDs, which are typically made off-handedly with few
evidentiary citations. The result is an intriguing, but less than compelling,
analysis of the Iraqi quagmire.
In the months leading up to March 2003, fresh from its swift and heady victory
in Afghanistan, the Bush administration mobilized the United States armed forces
to overthrow the government of Iraq. Eight months after the president declared
an end to major combat operations, Saddam Hussein was captured in a farmhouse in
Al-Dawr. And yet neither peace nor democracy has taken hold in Iraq; instead the
country has plunged into terrorist insurgency and guerrilla warfare, with no end
in sight. What went wrong?
In The Secret History of the Iraq War, bestselling author Yossef Bodansky offers
an astonishing new account of the war and its aftermath -- a war that was doomed
from the start, he argues, by the massive and systemic failures of the American
intelligence community. Drawing back the curtain of politicized debate, Bodansky
-- a longtime expert and director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism
and Unconventional Warfare -- reveals that nearly every aspect of America's
conflict with Iraq has been misunderstood, in both the court of public opinion
and the White House itself. Among his revelations:
The most authoritative account of Saddam Hussein's support for Islamic terrorist
organizations -- including extensive new reporting on his active cooperation
with al-Qaeda in Iraq long after the fall of Baghdad
Extensive new information on Iraq's major chemical and biological weapons
programs -- including North Korea's role in building still-undetected secret
storage facilities and Iraq's transfer of banned materials to Syria, Iran, and
Libya
The first account of Saddam's plan for Iraq, Syria, and Iran to join Yasser
Arafat's Palestinian forces to attack Israel, throw the region into turmoil, and
upend the American campaign
The untold story of Russia's attempt to launch a coup against Saddam before the
war -- and how the CIA thwarted it by ensuring that Iraq was forewarned
Dramatic details about Saddam's final days on the run, including the untold
story of a near miss with U.S. troops and the stunning revelation that Saddam
was already in custody at the time of his capture -- and was probably betrayed
by members of his own Tikriti clan
The definitive account of the anti-U.S. resistance and uprising in Iraq, as the
American invasion ignited an Islamic jihad and Iran-inspired intifada,
threatening to plunge the region into irreversible chaos fueled by hatred and
revenge
Revelations about the direct involvement of Osama bin Laden in the terrorism
campaigns in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Middle East -- including
the major role played by Iran and HizbAllah in al-Qaeda's operations
Drawing upon an extraordinary wealth of previously untapped intelligence and
regional sources, The Secret History of the Iraq War presents the most detailed,
fascinating, and convincing account of the most controversial war of our times -
- and offers a sobering indictment of an intelligence system that failed the
White House, the American military, and the people of the Middle East.
