Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
“An alarming but necessary book that reads like a thriller. By raising uncomfortable questions, Ken Timmerman has performed a significant public service.”
–Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk radio host
Some have called it the CIA’s greatest covert operation of all time.
It is an intelligence war conducted behind the scenes, aimed at confusing, misleading, and ultimately defeating the enemy. The goal is nothing less than toppling the regime in power. A network of agents has been planted at key crossroads of power, stealing secrets, planting disinformation, and cooking intelligence. The plan involves sophisticated political sabotage operations that bring in opposition forces who can challenge the regime openly, in a way the CIA cannot. The scope is breathtaking.
Who is the target of this vast, sophisticated CIA operation? Not the mullahs in Tehran or North Korea’s power-mad Kim Jong Il; the target is America’s president, George W. Bush.
Drawing on exclusive information from senior government officials, intelligence operatives, and many others, investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman provides the full, untold story of the sabotage that occurs behind the scenes at key government agencies like the CIA and State Department–and the profound effect it has on America’s ability to confront its most dangerous enemies. In Shadow Warriors, Timmerman brings to light the vast underground working to undercut our nation’s efforts to win the war on terror–revealing the when, where, how, and who for the very first time. He also exposes the Democratic politicians who have sold out America’s national security for political gain.
In Shadow Warriors you’ll learn:
•How the CIA and State Department sabotaged the administration’s Iraq war plans from the start–sparking the insurgency in the process
•How a high-level State Department official gathered aides after Bush’s reelection to insist they owed no allegiance to the president or his policies
•How pre-war intelligence on Iraq was cooked–not by the Bush administration, but by its opponents
•How and why the shadow warriors have leaked details of virtually every covert U.S. intelligence tool used in the war on terror
•How the leaks have devastated our efforts to fight terrorism–such as when a key U.S. ally rebuffed the CIA director’s request for assistance by saying, “You Americans can’t keep secrets”
•Why U.S. intelligence refused to examine important documents detailing the secret Iraqi networks that became the heart of the insurgency
•How newly discovered Iraqi government documents reveal the extent of Saddam Hussein’s ties to international terrorists and the truth about his WMD arsenal
Shadow Warriors shows that George W. Bush never got the very first rule of Washington: People are policy. He allowed his political enemies to run roughshod over his administration. This insider’s look at secret White House meetings, political backstabbing, and war-room summits is an eye-opening account of the mind-set that is crippling our effectiveness in Iraq and around the world.

Shadow Warriors is biased. How could it not be? The author, who is known for his scrutiny and meticulous research is biased towards those that would, and did, advance their political agenda ahead of the good of their country. Further, it is clear that in some extreme cases of borderline treason that Timmerman clearly and definitively chronicles, lives of our soldiers may have been lost due to the actions of the Shadow Warriors. This cabal of fervent anti-Bush operatives are every bit as dangerous as the terrorists that we face today. The information contained in Shadow Warriors is well organized, chronologically laid out, and fully subnoted. But the reason I approve of this book, and recommend it, is that it is based on researched fact of the events that brought the Bush Administration to it's knees in Iraq.
During the debacles of the senate 9/11 hearings, the farce surrounding the contemptible Joe Wilson and his posturing non-covert wife Valerie Plame which ended up in a lame prosecution of Scooter Libby, it was clear to anyone paying attention the Richard Clarke, George Tenet, and particularly Joseph Wilson were of dubious character. They were egotistical, contradictory, and disingenous. After reading the scheming and manipulating from seriously notorious political operatives within the internal sewer that is the CIA, it is clear why political neophytes Colin Powell and George Bush never really understood the danger in leaving the Clintonista's unchecked and in power within the agency. By the time Porter Goss is sent in to clean up the agency, the damage done by Tyler Drumheller in particular is immense and irrepairable. This book chronicles mistake after mistake in letting an agenda driven cabal within our own government take down a well-meaning, but gullible, President. I would recommend that those that wish to believe this book is all conservative spin and an endeavor to prop up GWB, read more of Timmerman's work, The China Threat (Bill Gertz), and See No Evil by Bob Baer. Baer's account of the destruction from within during the latter Clinton years is related from a career CIA middle-east operative who leaves reluctantly as the political power seekers wrest control from those that at one time knew how to run the agency. It squares nicely with Timmerman's work.
Even though this work is clearly against the anti-Bush Administration cabal, Timmerman represents Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, and Goss as hopelessly inept in dealing with the level of malevolence from many individuals who in previous decades would have been found guilty of treason, and very likely executed. Their is no endeavor to produce a "Bush =Good, Clintonista's=Bad" atmosphere in this book. It is simply critical of those who played politics instead of doing their jobs as public servants.
The performance of the media as willing accomplices to the Shadow Warriors is enough to assure you would never buy another copy of anything related to the Mainstream Media. It also paints an accurate picture of the real Carl Levin who is clearly a senator who should be voted out of office at the very first opportunity. Levin is a menace to the the security of the USA.
All in all, this is a fast read, similar to a Lee Child, Vince Flynn, or David Hagberg fictional novel, but it will anger you viscerally as it leaves no doubt that our country has been damaged, and in some cases intentionally so, simply to bring down this administration who in comparison to the Shadow Warriors is almost pollyannish. The true evildoers threatening our country are the elitists playing political games within our defense agencies while the good men and women of our fighting forces pay for their amusements and political agendas with their lives.
Final thought after reading this book? Eradicate the CIA and completely rebuild the agency. It is dysfunctional and beyond repair.

This book is so informative and tells the real truth of how far the Democratic Party will go to lie and cheat and how corrupt the CIA is. Also, this tells the real truth of what and why it was important to stop Saddam and what a moral man Pres. Bush really is. He really wants to do the best for all of us in America and keep us safe.

Ken Timmerman's book is not an easy book to read. As I read it I had to stop and process the fact that liberals lied, people died, and that it is a wonder America's response to 911 ever got off the ground. The opposition of the Democratic Congress is well known and documented. What is not common knowledge is that there are people of significant influence in the State department and CIA who are in direct opposition to carrying out the wishes of our commander-in-chief, President Bush. Timmerman calls them holdovers and plants of the Clinton administration who sabotage the efforts of the present administration to plan and execute a unified foreign policy of diplomacy and true information needed for the daily intelligence reports to the president. Upon finished this book the words of Lincoln lingered in my mind: A house divided against itself cannot stand.

The leftist moles that have infiltrated our government need to be stopped. I suspected but never realized how they leaked classified info and fought against the Republican administration in a way that would cause any Republican that did such a thing to be thrown into jail for years. These actions should be prosecuted for the treason that it is. This is an eye-opening book, and all good-hearted Democrats should read it to find out what is being perpitrated by those they vote for!
Rated by buyers -
What a great book. This should be required reading in every class room. Really is unreal to know how many people in congress and in our government agencies have underminded this country and need to be held accountable for the destruction of our safety.
