New York Times reporter Peter Baker is out with a new book that reportedly reveals some eyebrow-raising details about the Iraq War. A senior official from former President George W. Bushs administration is quoted in “Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House” saying American troops went into Iraq because the U.S. was looking for a fight. The only reason we went into Iraq, I tell people now, is we were looking for somebody’s ass to kick. Afghanistan was too easy, the anonymous official said, according to Politico. Politico also reports the book details the differences in Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The two reportedly were on opposite sides of almost every major issue when they left office in 2009. According to David Frums review of the book, Baker features stories not just of Bush and Cheney, but also of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld; L. Paul Bremer, the Iraqi occupation administrator; and Gen. George Casey, the Army chief of staff.
