Brent Scowcroft... has grown pessimistic...

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.

He is working for the French. Think about it. He supported keeping Saddam in power. Now aside from Scowcroft wallet, who else benefits from Saddam staying in power. It's the French.
