BUSH TO HOST IRAQ DISCUSSION ON IRAQ // In an unusual move, the White House has invited all living secretaries of defense and state to the White House on Thursday for a discussion with President Bush of Iraq policy... Developing...
Oh! How could I have forgotten him! Every single time I see him go after somebody, I'm SOOOO glad he wasn't my daddy!
George Shultz can be pretty tough too!
Drudge is behind the curve on this story, something that's not unusual for him. This was reported over the holiday weekend, and mentioned on the "Day in the life of..." thread on New Year's Day. Look here in the Week Ahead section: freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1550392/posts
Not sure this matters much. No if Bush announced he was holding a Town Hall meeting with all former secretaries of state - then I would be a tad more concerned.
"Mr. Aspin regrets....."
No. It was published over the holiday weekend. Drudge is just getting the news late.
It does say that all former secretaries of state are invited.
"Does Drudge think that Bush has invited the Department of Redundancy Department? (Motto: We do it twice, or we don't do it.)"
superfluous, repetitious and redundant.
ROFLMAO!!!
Hallmark has cards for just this situation I think!
Oh I would LOVE to be there to hear this one
:)
< takes a bow >
maybe Bush trusts the american people and rather than continue giving cover to the leftists sniping at him he wishes to simply bring them out into the light so that they may be seen for what they really are -moonbats and leftist kerryesque bufoons...
It is quite interesting stategery... They can either paly or shut up AND if playing they can either agree with Bush or disagree and show themselves and thier partisan BS...
After compiling that list, I'm feeling pretty good about this.
:-)

I think this lady was also dead
Madeleine Albright
UGH.
That would appear to me to be 2 stikes already. Who are the counter balances to those two?
LOL---thanks for reminding me...he should never be misunderestimated, should he?
A Warren Christopher story that no one should every forget. This was written by Lt. Col. Tom McKenney (Ret) for the CLINTON CHRONICLES BOOK in his chapter --- THE UNTHINKABLE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. I had the great pleasure to do an interview with the colonel on the DFU RADIO HOUR.
================================================
It is significant that the man Clinton turns to for military advice ---who argued against the tanks and APC's for the raid in Mogadishu---is the same Warren Christopher (then a high official in Jimmy Carter's National Security Council) who helped plan the disastrous raid to rescue the hostages in Iran.
At a planning session for the Tehran rescue, the man selected to lead the raid, the late Colonel Charlie Beckwith, was asked what the would do about the Iranian guards. Bechwith, a no-nonsense veteran of special operations, replied that as they came out the door they would be shot in the head---twice---to be sure they couldn't do any harm.
Warren Christopher gasped, grimaced, viscerally shocked, and asked, "Couldn't you just shoot them in the hand?"
Had Charlie Beckwith been allowed to plan the Iranian raid as it should have been done and left alone to carry it out, it would have succeeded.
Concerning the Mogadishu disaster, Beckwith wrote in The Wall Street Journal that the raid was bungled by committing the Rangers and Delta Force without giving them the freedom and the support they needed.
