His sources tell him that most people in the administration other than the hardcore neocons realize the "axis of evil" line was a big mistake. It was stuck in by the speechwriters, hardliners, and the President, who didn't realize it would be seen as such a big deal. Didn't realize? I sure hope your guy is totally wrong on this one as it implies a very worrisome level of obliviousness. Did everybody in the White House have amnesia about the reaction Reagan got when he called the Soviet Union "an evil empire"? You sure your friend isn't projecting his wishes onto the situation? If President Bush didn't mean any change of policy on Iraq, then he's certainly been talking loudly and carrying a very small stick. My impression of Bush has been that he is politically disciplined, limits his initiatives, and stays on-message. I expected mistakes due to inexperience and an oil company-centered worldview, but not due to big talk and unfocused rhetoric.
