Yes, in fact. I think Powell (and the careerists in the State Department) have trotted out their old friends on the Op-Ed circuit to present their dissent. We're watching the debate that has been demanded. Scocroft (NSA Bush 41) is against war. Baker (CoS Bush 41) is against war. Kissinger (many credentials) is wrongly cited by the NY Times as against war - he actually reluctantly conceded that WMD development made hostilities immediately necessary. Of course Cheney (SecDef Bush 41) is fully on board with GWB. The tone of the Bush 41 advisers now in the private sector seems to be petulance - that Bush 43 is using Teddy Roosevelt's "big stick" instead of their template of coalition diplomacy. I also sense a bit of residual guilt (protesting too much) over not having nailed Saddam in 91. BTW, Molly Ivins invented the term "shrub" years ago. You're not even original, and your reflexive bias has already dictated your position. It will turn out to be wrongheaded -- and you will, of course, deny that reality when it arrives, too.
