Bet the Bush Family is glad they bailed this guy's duff out of that "little problem" he had a few Administrations back!
He's all over the news again today, heading the roster of gloomsters and doomsters.
Most networks have just finished running their "The Year That Was: 2004" programs which always contains the poignant (or relief-filled) segment: "WE SAID GOOD-BYE TO THEM in 2004!"
I, for one, think we couldn't say good bye to Admiral Scowcroft soon enough in 2005!
What does Scowcroft hope to gain? I suspect the old fart is mad as hell that GW never calls him for his "perspective" and so he tries to undermine the President at every opportunity.
I'd don't agree. The elections offer hope. That's in short supply in Iraq these days.
Everything this shithead has said in the past several months have shown him to have entered the Goldwater Twilight Zone.
Keep moving everyong, nothing to see here; just a hasbeen who's fallen into uselessness. He'll be fine, just drools in his oatmeal a bit. Keep moving.
Geez, right out of left field! Scowcroft pessimistic about Iraq. Who saw it coming?
Its only like Brent Scowcroft is the living embodiment of the Old School let-Arabs-be-Arabs, Sultan cowtowing, Dictator coddling, approach to the Middle East, and was publicly against the Iraq adventure from the very beginning.
Gawd! Not "Mr. Stability" again. He and Brezinski and their fellow irrelevant "elder statesmen" should get together and form their own club.
I've read the occasional interview w/Kissinger and he sounds a lot less sclerotic than the "stability" boys (he actually seems to dig up facts before issuing pronunciamentos). I swear, people like Scowcroft prove the rule that once one rises to a certain level of lofty incompetence in this town you really never have to worry about eating. Just keep writing books filled with meaningless, highfalutin, geo/poly/diplo-speak, keep giving speeches to the usual conferences and gatherings, lending your name to prestigious boards of directors and college campuses (maybe giving a lecture or two a year) who want a big name for it's own sake [down with "celebrity professors"!] and do the odd Charlie Rose interview. Never mind if you have been repeatedly proven wrong by events as often as Paul ("The Population Bomb") Erlich. As long as you piss and poop all over a republican administration the MSM will pay you the proper obeisance and you'll never lack for cocktail party invites.
End.
Who cares what the H this geezers opinions are. He helped sink Bush 41.
