Emma Sky: Why Iraq is the 'worst strategic failure since the foundation of the United States'
According to Sky, the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush believed that democracy would take hold on its own; they had no roadmap for how to make that happen.
"These plans drawn up in Washington were all wishful thinking," she said.
At one point, Sky recounts in the book, Donald Rumsfeld showed up for a military briefing in northern Iraq, and didn't know where neighbouring Iran was on the map.
