Broken America is an iconoclastic look at the administration of George W. Bush. Author David Cooper takes an in-depth look at the difference between the Bush administration’s rhetoric and what their policies actually are regarding many of the most important issues of the day. Using the words of the most powerful people in government themselves, Cooper discovers:The real reason for the Iraq invasionWhether or not the intelligence was simply faultyWhy there is not now and never has been an ’exit strategy'How the Bush administration ’supports' the troopsWho’s benefiting from the privatization of AmericaWhy the administration is desperately attempting to place themselves above the lawBroken America also examines the importance and the breakdown of the free press and draws some disturbing and controversial comparisons to history. Broken America is for anyone who wants to cast an informed ballot in 2006.
