Go ask Podheretz---he knows who those "civilians in suits and silk ties" are---Poddie lunches with them often.
Huckabee really did himself good by me with that one, since I've been saying the same thing since before the invasion of Iraq. He basically tossed the whole "neo-conservative" wing of the Bush administration overboard with that statement.
