Yeah, if this report is true, then Condi really stabbed Cheney and Rumsfeld in the back.

The mere fact that Chris Shays supported this idiotic idea is enough to make my jaws grind.

But Wolf traveled in Iraq without an official government escort, hiding his identity as a member of Congress in an effort to get an unvarnished view of the war-torn nation. "We dressed in old clothes. We lived with Iraqis, we actually went to an Iraqi wedding," Wolf recalls of those trips. "We went to all parts of the country."

Anybody have any idea of who paid for this trip and who constitutes "we?"

[pinz-n-needlez]

What Wolf saw in Iraq late last year prompted him to write an editorial that appeared in the Washington Post on Sept. 24, 2005, calling for the creation of "an independent and balanced group of respected individuals" to take another look at Iraq strategy.

His trip was 'late last year' yet it prompted him to write his editorial Sept. 24... Did he write on the plane ride back? Were his revelations already in place before he left?

Wonder what his history/ideas/politics are to pull off such an end round of the president???

Appears to me that Salon is trying to create a controversy where none exist.

The media always portrays people close to the White House as power mad egomaniacs, fighting for position to the detriment of the good of the country. None of these, not Condi, nor Rumsfeld nor Chaney come across like that to me. I'm sure they all have strong opinions, and disagree from time to time, but that doesn't mean the situation was confrontational the way this article suggests.

Wolf, a well-respected moderate Republican....

ACU lifetime rating of 81. Last year, Frank Wolf rated a 60. That is pathetic.

Add Lee Hamilton, who helped pilot the "9/11 Commission" laughingstock, and a few other moderate creeps into the mix and you get a panel that meets with the approval of not only Christopher Shays, but the foul, stinking communist State Department as well!

Like with the "9/11 Commission", this panel's report, too, will have zero credibility.
What a loser. What a waste.

Baker, Hamilton, Sandra Day, Vernon Jordon, Leon Panetta...

The American people are in dire need of leaders who will explain the cause and effect of our Wars in the Middle East. Mr. President - Sec. State - Sec. Def. - where is your Gettysburg Address? In war, these are not the kind of men you should turn to for our salvation. Your legacy is in jeopardy - far worse, the fate of our nation for decades to come, if not centuries, is in jeopardy! These dead shall not die in vain!

[Nancee]

Well, this makes me think twice about Condi!!

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

I take back everything nice I said about the Secretary of State.

[montag813]

Since Condi has been moonlighting lately as Fatah Spokesperson, this is not really surprising.

Too many constantly underestimate the Bush Administration.

Ask yourself this question as if you were the Administration and the U. S. military:

If your Iraqi policy came under strong attack, what would be the fastest and best way to unite the country in this crucial battle on which our national security depends, or at least serve to dampen the partisan criticism?? What would be your alternatives in achieving this??

[Don Corleone]

Once the war got into the hands of the "Politicians" it was a done deal that the effort would fail. Today, if you don't run a 'blitzkreig' war for the first few weeks and end it, it is destined to be made totally 'unwinable' by the vested interests of the political and chattering classes.

[El Gato]

Former Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton seemed like an obvious choice. A highly respected voice on foreign policy, Hamilton had been vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission.

Oh Goody.
