LIKE THE JERRY LEWIS TELETHON VERSION OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
Former Cabinet members aid Bush (Bill Sammon, January 6, 2006, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
President Bush yesterday sought to counter press reports of insularity by soliciting advice on Iraq from a dozen former secretaries of state and defense from Democratic and Republican administrations.
"Not everybody around this table [agrees] with my decision to go into Iraq," Mr. Bush said in the Roosevelt Room at the White House. "But these are good solid Americans who understand that we've got to succeed now that we're there.
"And I'm most grateful for the suggestions that have been given," he said. "We take to heart the advice; we appreciate your experience."
Gotta love the way folks like McNamara and Albright so long to seem to matter that they're happy to let themselves be used. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 6, 2006 8:58 AM

". . .[W]e've got to succeed now that we're there."
Exactly. This is the "Rommel" argument. It is remarkably forthright and courageous.
Assume that everything the culture-traitor/folk-enemy set says is true, that it was all for the oil, and the Jews, and besides, did we tell you about the poor Indians? We are left with the question of what we are to do now.
Another political brilliance from someone who is supposed to be stupid.
