No. I know you are wrong. Why, yes, of course you do.
Meetings. Say the words Council. On. Foreign. Relations. and tell me that they don't have meetings. This "task force paper" obviously required a lot of meetings. Yes, indeed, A nonpartisan resource for Information and Analysis.
I guess the question is, did President Bush meet with Canada and Mexico the first time before or after the papers was actually written. It was published in 2005.
How many meetings do you think it took to develop the concept? Or was it just Bush who gestated the idea and the "task force" kind of took the high wind of it.
Let me ask, do you think the Balkanization we see going on around us just coalesced out of the ether by random sequential events all by itself?
As I said, I'd rather be wrong my way than yours.
"This "task force paper" obviously required a lot of meetings."
Oh yeah. Those were some really secret meetings. Say the words Seventy. Page. Document. Detailing. the. results. of. the. meetings.
"I guess the question is, did President Bush meet with Canada and Mexico the first time before or after the papers was actually written. It was published in 2005."
What in the world are you talking about. Because a council publishes a paper, it must be assumed that when the President of the United States meets with the only other two nations on this continent that he is doing so as a result of the paper. You really are a crackpot.
"How many meetings do you think it took to develop the concept?"
Read the thing. All the "secrets" are spelled right out in its opening pages.
"Let me ask, do you think the Balkanization we see going on around us"
Most people aren't wearing your funny colored glasses. Your unsupported, weak assumptions are not worth discussing. Throw some evidence on the table and it might be a little more than delusional ramblings.
