    Congratulations, Dr. Metz. And lest you feel that no one carries your work, fear not, the Cornell Library has some 36 titles of yours. Although they did probably get them at academic discount. And a lot of them are electronic resources.

    But in all seriousness, congrats and I look forward to the book.

    Hey--I'm still miffed at Cornell because that was by far the first choice of the 10 colleges that my oldest daughter looked at, and they turned her down!

    Based on my surreal experience applying for colleges, applying at Cornell and places of that ilk is a total crap shoot, unless you're a legacy - or you build the Steve Metz Center for Advanced International Studies on campus. Plus it's more competitive for girls. My sister is going through that now.

    In the picture, if you had panned a bit to the right, you would see the memorial plaque for all the freshman engineers who jump into the gorge each fall clutching their first-ever B+. . .

    Steve,

    Congratulations on finishing the monster! Doing so is no small achievement (I have two such monsters leering out at me from under heaps of research). I read your conclusions today - and now I have another book to buy and read.

    Cheers

    High above Cayuga's waters,
    There's an awful smell.
    Some say it's Cayuga's waters,
    Some say it's Cornell.

    I'm sorry to say that I understood every word of that eloquent Southern slang, Slap. And I'm a Yankee.

    Porcelain is for carpetbaggers and transvestites.

    Which, of course, doesn't necessarily answer your question.

    I am not really sure what it is made out of but during an outhouse visit I did some reading on Steve's excerpts from his book.
    Really like the conclusion doc. Steve posted from his book, there is a lot of wisdom in there if future administrations will just apply it.

    Hey--a niche market is a niche market! I'll take what I can get.

    I did half seriously suggest to my boss that it would greatly augment the influence of the Strategic Studies Institute if we could put up literature racks in the stalls in the Pentagon latrines.

    At least amongst the carpetbaggers and transvestites.

    Would these serve as replacements for the Sears catalog?

    Smile Good Intro

    I really liked the introduction. You did a wonderful job of presenting your viewpoint and the direction your coming from.

    This bodes well for the those who are reading on the fly.

    Default Doug MacGregor's "Mother Jones" Article on Iraq

    I'd like to include Doug MacGregor's recent Mother Jones article in my book bibliography but all I have is an electronic version sans page numbers. Does anyone have one with page numbers? If not, does anyone have an email for him (all I have is his wireless phone number in my contacts so could try that if all else fails. If you do, PM or email me.

    Tanks.

    Default Iraq Bibliography

    Don't know if this would be of any value to anyone, but here's the just-completed bibliography for Iraq and the Evolution of American Strategy.
