hat trick

The foreword writers to three of our four books have been quoted in three different publications regarding three different foreign policy issues, since Monday.
For the past several days, Dr. Ken Quinones – who wrote the foreword to my latest book, Alpha Bravo Delta Guide to the Korean Conflict – has been widely quoted in numerous national newspapers regarding North Korea's boasting of its alleged nuclear weapons possession. According to this morning's TUCSON CITIZEN, "Kenneth Quinones, a former State Department official and expert on North Korea, said the North Koreans are 'upping the ante' to show displeasure with recent statements by President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the news leak of a U.S. complaint about North Korea's reported sale of slightly processed uranium to Libya."
Then on Tuesday, Brigadier General David L. Grange – a CNN military analyst who wrote the foreword to my Alpha Bravo Delta Guide to Decisive 20th-Century American Battles – was referenced as follows at CNN.com: "The U.S. almost certainly has some plan to attack Iran, although it may be a last resort, retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. David Grange, a CNN analyst, told CNN's American Morning on Tuesday. 'There's always plans being produced on any type of threat that we perceive this nation to have,' Grange said. 'You can assume there's plans to attack Iran at different levels of intensity, such as airstrikes or missile attacks.' However, even if Iran's nuclear program is disabled, the country's knowledge and capability is ultimately the long-term threat, he said. Iran has said it will retaliate if attacked. That retaliation could take the form of ballistic missile attacks on U.S. allies such as Israel or terrorist activities, Grange said."
And of course, on Monday, Col. Jeff Bearor – who wrote the foreword to my Alpha Bravo Delta Guide to American Airborne Forces – was quoted extensively by moi in our latest piece on Iraq at NRO.
Thanks gents... Your public commentary continues to sell books.
