What's to understand .. he's blaming everything in the region on Israel. Geeeeee .. what's new about that.
Surrender monkey can be removed with sufficient effort dear sir...
Understand him?
Sounds like he's been "playing goalie" at the Carter Library--and I know you know what I mean.
Feuding among White House factions was a favorite Beltway topic during the Reagan years, and has continued to fascinate historians. Mr. Nofziger's take: "You split that senior staff into two parties: the Reagan people and the Baker people."
He says that he and Mrs. Reagan had their "ups and downs" but that he "wasn't having any particular problems with her or with Deaver. The guy I had problems with was Baker."
Mr. Nofziger says Mr. Reagan's greatest failure was "trusting people he should not have trusted. Ronald Reagan always thought if people worked for him, they would be loyal to him. But there were people who were more loyal to themselves than to Ronald Reagan."
Mr. Baker was a friend of fellow Texan former President George Bush and was Mr. Reagan's first White House chief of staff and then served as Treasury secretary in the second Reagan administration.
"He's a guy who's arrogant, who thought he knew better than the president," Mr. Nofziger says of Mr. Baker. "I don't think he's an honorable man. And you can quote me."

I understand Baker, he hates Jews.
James Baker thinks himself to be a Realist so did Pierre Laval .

And so did the original Count Baltar from Battlestar Galactica.

James Baker stands first and foremost for protecting his own personal interests. It shows exactly how bad things must currently be when Baker of all people can be considered by anyone as coming to the rescue. Don't forget, this is the same James Baker that helped W steal Florida in 2000 ... so we can blame Baker for all of this in the first place. It's his duty to try to attempt a rescue.
Of course, Bush won't listen to Baker. "Victory" seems to be the only word W will hear and the V-word doesn't receive serious consideration in the Iraq Study Group Report.

"Members of the Iraq Study Group are not being paid in any way for their work."
It seems we always get what we pay for.
