Not sure what I think of this. It is probably good that folks like Scowcroft come face-to-face with the evil his foreign policy has ignored or dismissed for too long. On the other hand, it is offensive to me for this guy to visit here and be made the center of attention rather than arrested for his role in the hostage crisis in 79-80.

Well...If the Council on Foreign Relations finally understands what we are dealing with in Imagonnajihad, then this 'meeting' was not necessarily a bad thing.

Do NY and DC's elite run this country, or do we?

I think in a perfect world our military would break up the meeting... take the guy prioner..... and we'd never hear from him again.

Breaking bread with this torturer and murderer is "crossing the line", but meeting with him is okay.

Nobody forced anyone to walk into the same room with him. Sounds like many consciences were pricked, but none became activated.

I know the historical background of CFR, but is this another leftist group or more non-partisan. I've never read Foreign Affairs, is that a good source for honest insight into what's going on internationally, or another apologist rag for Dictators?

CFR, interesting.

Must be like wanting to get a close-up view of the monsters at a monster museum.

I am sure he will be speaking before all the dummy groups before the end of the week, too. Oh, wait. They were the ones who drafted his speeches. Silly me...

LOL! You already know the answer to that.

It is important that this group, or any group he wanted to meet with, agreed to meet with him. How if he returned to his own country and said that he offered to speak with them and they declined?

At least this way, his own words can very justifiably be cast back in his face...(and it sounds like he continued to incriminate himself and his policies in the usual way).

Actually, this group ought to immediately publicize every word that came out of that guys mouth just to further expose his unreasonable and bloodthirsty posture… and just in case there is someone out there living under a rock and who is yet under the delusion that this creep occupies a position in any way equal to leaders in the West who sincerely seek a constructive exchange of ideas.

AND, when will the MSM catch on and call this guy what he really is???…. A BELIGERANT, LOUDMOUTH, INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY STUNTED JACKASS MASQUARADING AS A BON IFIED HEAD OF STATE!!!

Dinner with him was a good idea. He just should have been the entree.

I do, but why do we continue to allow ALL decisions and opinions to made out of the NY and DC media?

What a farce, we need our own country.

Have you ever read about a possible connection of the CFR to the NWO?

He entered with "a jaunty smile, a wave and an air of supreme confidence"

That'll disappear when the 12th imam fails to show up in the next couple of years, or when his nuclear ambitions go up in flames.

interviews to Time magazine and CNN, among others.

Hey Time magazine...how about making him your Man of the Year...better yet, contact the Nobel committee...shouldn't he be getting some kind of 'Peace' award?

Wouldn't surprise me.

When I was in college, I worked in a hotel and they'd hold meetings there about once a month I guess. From time to time, I'd ask the attendees about the group, and they always seemed kind of evasive in their answers. I could never tell if it was something nefarious they were up to, or if they just thought I was a car monkey and if they'd give me a nebulous answer, I'd just shut up.

asking whether the council would have invited Hitler in the 1930s

Actually, I could see this happening before Hitler invaded Poland.

I would have been appalled if the creep had been invited to the White House, but for some of the CFR lefties, the meeting might have been a good thing. Perhaps some who may have thought dialogue could work became convinced through the meeting that this guy will not respond to talk.
