While he probably did not serve in the Bush amin he most probably influenced the watering down of what should have been 2 clear objectives:

A. Identify the enemy clearly
B. Identify all the goals needed to obtain victory

Would you agree CVV?

No doubt he used his "conservative" tax patina to influence administrations, state depts., etc. to go easy on Islam. You know he's been in Condi Rice's, Karen Hughes ears. I objected only to any official Bush associations because they aren't true.

He being a conservative, and Republicans in office for the bulk of the time since 9/11, Pubbies would naturally be the main recipients of his lobbying. I doubt Obie gives Norquist or his Club for Growth the time of day. which has been his baby for a long time. Noted conservatives like foreign policy expert Michael Ledeen has questioned Grover's motives for a good while, more loudly since 9/11 and the spread of Islam.
