Both Lloyd<\/a> and I<\/a> wrote about Kenneth Pollack's Threatening Storm<\/i> some time ago in our blogs as a must-read book in assessing the case for an invasion of Iraq. Pollack's book made me think, \"hey maybe there is a sound case to be made for war given how Iraq might become an even more terrible menace to the world\".

Salon.com | Joe Conason's Journal<\/a> points to a recent NPR interview with Kenneth Pollack<\/a>. Now is Pollack back-peddling or was he duped or did we misinterpret Pollack? He seemed to one of the more credible analysts on the scene, but I don't know what to think right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
