How much stock should we put in this article? It is WND.
About as much as the NYSlimes, huh?
I know enough about James Baker to know that whatever makes him the most money is something he's for. THAT gives this article a lot of credibility in my mind. The guy has represented Arab governments in one form or another for well over 40 years - he knows where his bread is buttered, and the conclusions of the Iraq Surrender Guys that
...urged Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem, and to sign a deal with Syria in which the Jewish state would vacate the Golan Heights, strategic mountainous territory twice used by Damascus to launch ground invasions into Israel.
is simply the last in a long line of examples of what Baker is all about. Heck, the Saudi government probably couldn't have written those aspects of the ISG Report any better (Jimmie's paid to do that stuff, anyhow).
Face it, the guy is corrupt, while being about as self-righteous as the other James (the one who left his Holy Hand Grenade at home, thereby opening himself up to an attack by a savage rabbit). Just ask Baker - anything that he thinks is good for the US also (just coincidentally, mind you) makes him a fortune.
As for Baker and Carter both, if they were on fire I wouldn't piss on them to douse the flames.
