Knowing what I now know from the thread about this bytch, I think that whoever told our National Security Advisor to meet with her -- the president, perhaps -- made a serious error. By hanging a "kick-me" sign on their backs, the president, or Steve Hadley, or whoever, has unknowingly and cluelessly insulted the people of character, foremost the soldiers and their families, on whom this war depends.
Once again, this administrations rewards its enemies and forgets its friends. They cannot keep doing this and expect to remain politically viable. Or geopolitically viable.
Great point.
Appeasement never works.
