Webb should ask some marines about how to do diplomacy with fanatics. More than a little like entering negotiations with the Japanese militarists in 1945. Basically the only way to deal with them is the way we did with the Japanese on Okinawa.
Reading between the lines in stories about Webb's relationship with his military son, we should just ask his son what he thinks of GWB and his father's "feelings" about the war.
I wish someone like General Patton was around to voice his thoughts about Webb.
Webb is lower than the enemy and may he rot in hell.
