Scowcroft has a mindset and it's not going to change in spite of the overwhelming evidence from the USSR's breakup and Saddam's continued reign of terror.

Exactly. Scowcroft was running around, twelve years ago, warning of casualties, while James Baker was assembling a coalition.

Brent's never been one to inspire much confidence.

You know, this confirms my opinion that President Bush REALLY loves this country, being willing to serve even though he knew what he was up against.

I don't mean the Axis of Evil, nor even the democrats...I mean the blatherings of people from prior Republican administrations who have NO access to the latest intelligence and who should keep their mouths shut, knowing full well that their public statements would cause a controversy in the press.

Bah. I stick with Condi Rice's statements to the BBC.

Brent Scowcroft has always been Chicken Little. I am convinced that the President is a man of honor, but Henry Kissinger and Scowcroft are another kettle of fish.

In words of Robert Strange McNamara and other nation builders, American casualities be damned!
