Andrew Bacevich on Bill Moyers

Here's a link, via A Tiny Revolution, to a YouTube and other material regarding Andrew Bacevich's appearance on Bill Moyers. I have his new book, "The Limits of Power," but haven't started reading it yet. Andrew had an entire career in the military, retiring as a colonel, before beginning to teach at Boston University. He's a profoundly conservative person who understood from the outset that the Iraq war was a huge mistake. I've talked with him many times by phone and have great respect for him. I'll get to the book very soon.

BOTH CANDIDATES, AS WELL AS CONGRESS, MIGHT DO WELL TO LISTEN TO ANDREW BACEVICH… NOT JUST HEAR HIM

Only rarely does someone surface with qualifications as well as insights and a delivery that stimulate thinking. Even more rarely does an individual stimulate the very personal mental articulation of self observation.

Bacevich deserves as broad an audience as can be exposed to his thoughtful analysis.
