Fallows on the Iraq tragedy

James Fallows is typically worth reading when you come across his stuff. His latest Atlantic Monthly article, "Why Iraq Has No Army," is a case in point.

And, if you have any teeth left to grind, go back and read his article from November 2002, "The Fifty-first State?" The Pentagon should just substitute that article for any of the "official histories" currently being pulled together. It was devastatingly prescient.
