WASHINGTON (AP) - In Bob Woodward's latest book on President
Bush and the Iraq war, he says the president "rarely was the voice
of realism" on the war and "too often failed to lead."
In Woodward's "The War Within: A Secret White House History,
2006-2008," he tells of a president detached, tentative and slow
to react to the escalating violence in Iraq.
But according to The Washington Post, Woodward says once Bush
decided that thousands of additional troops were needed, he moved
with focus and determination even though top military advisers
resisted him.
The book is the fourth by Woodward looking at the inner debates
of the Bush administration and its handling of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It's scheduled for release Monday.
Spokesman Blair Jones says the White House had no immediate
comment.
