A new book by Gen. tommy Franks?

[freethought]

A good friend of mine told me he couldn't wait for the Franks book. I asked "What Franks' book?" He said Gen. Tommy Franks has finished and is publishing a book on BushCo. and the war in Iraq. All signals point to it being pretty scathing. Anyone heard anything?

1. Frank's is the one

that kicked off the martial law deal for America if we got hit again, i think it was in a GQ interview.

2. I think Franks is the Gen who barely graduated from HS - or at least

has no edumacation beyond high school. I wonder who helped him write the book . . .

3. He reminds me of Richard Armitage with hair

i can picture both of the screaming "WHAT IS YOU MAJOR MALFUNCTION???"

4. Not sure.

From my conversation I gathered that Franks was working pretty hard on it to get the book on the shelves by election day. I realize this is sort of a 'my friend said this, my friend said that' but this guy has been around some interesting people. To give you an idea, he was going to work as a mathmetician on the now defunct 'Supercollider'. He was able to find alternate employment after they killed that project.
