"Winning a war" was not the intent or desire of those on that panel.
(Actually, we won the war quite some time ago... right now we're merely in the mop-up phase, and the mess is continually made worse by outsiders... and the nattering nabobs of negativity here continually point out what isn't clean yet, rather than noting the overall progress.)

Yeah, that would be the way. But Bush has collapsed. Once a strong leader, he's now bringing in every defeatist (you may have heard them called "realists") to justify negotiating with the countries involved in the proxy war and otherwise retreating.
Whatever happened to "we will not distinguish between terrorists and those countries that harbor them" ?

James Baker was bought and paid for by the Saudi government.
That he would do their bidding should suprise no one.

When you run down the list of members of the Baker committee you wonder if it was put together by Phyllis Diller.
In the leaderless Twilight Zone we're living in right now we don't have Churchillians, we only have vaudevillians.

The president of Iran's insistence that Israel would cease to exist "soon" is apparently from the talks the Baker bunch engaged in these past few months.

They should be renamed the "Chamberlain Committee" and all be issued umbrellas and bowler hats. I expect Jim Baker to be holding up the report claiming peace in our time.
