This is all Drudge has for now.

It sounds like a really bad idea to me.

Carter's Secretary of Defense thinks Bush is the anti Christ and that Zarqawi, Ahmadinejad, and Bin Laden are heros of the modern era.

I can't even envision a scenario where this works in Bush's favor.

The Pres is pretty sure of himself. This would be to get all the opinions out and done with, which is happening by dribbles every day anyway. Why not listen to the elder statesmen?

When everybody has a better idea, bring them all together and let them find out for themselves that not only do they all disagree with you, but no two agree with each other. Gets a lot quieter for a while after.

This is probably a smart move. The atmosphere around the GWOT has gotten so partisan. This is a move to show bipartisanship.

It probably won't work but it will be in the news cycle. Not a bad move.

Most of the folks will be enemies of Bush I would presume, so why are they doing this?

And of course there will be no spilled beans, either real or fabricated.

Generally, Iraq discussions do tend to focus on Iraq.

Does Drudge think that Bush has invited the Department of Redundancy Department? (Motto: We do it twice, or we don't do it.)

The only way this is a good idea, is if he calls the leftists the idiots and communists that they are.

It will only blow up in his face if it is open to the media.

Otherwise, it will work quite well.

Kissanger and Cohen support the war. Its Carter's people that are the morons.

I noticed it when I posted it, but the moderators don't like the titles being changed.

Private until five seconds after, when someone starts yapping.

An atrocious idea IMHO.
