James Baker is part of the old school that supported the foreign policy that GWB cast aside in his speech.

LOL! If it weren't for James Baker, G.W. would never have been elected after that 'Seven Weeks of Hell in Floriduh'!

Don't overstate the facts. Baker was the faceman of that effort. The legal team in Florida and DC put the real work in making effort successful. He was not responsible for putting GW in the WH. OTOH, Baker is definitely part of that Brent Scowcroft, Kissinger, et al. school of foreign policy wonks that apeased alot of tyrants.
