Spare me the religious hyperbole. Foreign policy should be made at State and in the White House and not from the Pentagon or a think-tank with a tap into our intel and analytical stream.

And what makes you think it isn't? Sorry, I left Colin Powell off the list of dumbass Christians.

The fact of the matter is that ole Patrick conjures up theories of Zionist control of American foreign policy based on a handful of subcabinet level Jews in the first administration in decades without a Jew in a cabinet level position in decades. It's the stuff of bigotry, sorry you buy into it.

I'm not too keen on the Zionist conspiracy stuff your accusing me of because I disagree with you. Hadn't counted heads at the cabinet level either like you have. It never occurred to me. Nor do I particularly care for Buchanan's brownshirt politics.

I do care about crappy analysis that sends this country to fight wars on false premises from analysts stirring up hysteria and fear. To follow their logic we will be at war with out end. Their book and analysis deserves to be trashed.

Unfortunately, it became policy and we went to war in Iraq. Furthermore, evidence that there were leaks to foreign powers if not a mole in the intel loop in their offices and within the decision cycle in the Pentagon with these same folks doesn't help things either.

dittos and well said.

Scary - Bush doesnt have a Jew in his cabinet?
What will the Elders of Zion say about this!?!?
