Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey recommends Nothing for the Nation
“…Congress made an unconstitutional delegation of authority to the president and it was the most tragic such delegation ever made.
“Had we listened to Hostettler at the time, we would not have done it. If we listen to him now, we might save ourselves the pain, regret, and shame from doing it again.
“For years I have known I was wrong. Now I know why I was wrong….”

Nothing
for the Nation: Who Got What Out of
Iraq
reveals why political leaders and their
subordinates sought to remove Saddam
Hussein from power. Nothing for the
Nation reminds us that when it comes
to relations between rival nations -
and rival national leaders - America's
founders were wise to give us a republic
and not a monarchy. The sages who secured
for us the blessings of liberty would
not have been surprised by the true
motivation of those who sold America
on the idea of ousting the Butcher of
Baghdad.

Excerpts
from Nothing for the Nation:
"…the evidence offered
in the pages of this book….is
immensely more compelling as
the justification for our military
involvement in Iraq than was
the case for a WMD program directed
by Saddam Hussein." - Introduction |
"Though
I considered it clever for Bush to borrow
from The Gipper, I likewise felt it
was a departure from the true concern.
I felt that the major imperatives were
finding Osama Bin Laden and destroying
al Qaeda." - Ch. 4, 9/11: A
False Prelude
"But how could this group of very
smart people see the same intelligence
members of Congress were considering
and conclude such a program existed?
If I had problems with the intelligence,
I thought these "analysts"
in the Pentagon would be much more skeptical."
- Ch. 11, The Truth Emerges
"To say, however, that George W.
Bush came into office in January 2001
with the goal of acquiring a larger
campaign war chest and more occupants
of some electoral big tent is to miss
the point when it came to Saddam Hussein."
- Ch. 11, The Truth Emerges |
