If Afghanistan is a "failing venture" for Scowcroft, I wonder what his definition of success might be? This guy might as well wear a button that says "Antisemitic Creep" so everyone could see where he stands without his having to open his evil mouth.

My sense is that Gen. Scowcroft has a personal axe to grind with Ariel Sharon that dates from the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. If you'll recall that invasion began a string of events that lead to Reagan sending in the Marines. Those were some tough times in DC after the downing of some Navy pilots (remember the Jesse Jackson mission?), the Sabra & Shatilla "massacre" (by Lebanese militiamen, but blamed on Israel) & the Marine Barracks bombing.

Of course, this bleating by Gen. Scowcroft will only serve to comfort the Kerry campaign and give them some free ammo for a news cycle, or two. I'm sure that Ariel Sharon could give a hoot what Scowcroft thinks today.

Yep. Funny how so many of the old line "Paleo-conservatives" like Buchannan and Scowcroft are really nothing more then Anti-Jewish bigots.
