What could a face saving deal look like that might be acceptable to Bush? Not to you but to bush. Not to neocons but to bush. Where is there a deal to be had that doesnt destroy credibility and hurt our position in the region?

Mike, I have no serious idea. I've grown into the conclusion that my approach to foreign policy is so different from these guys that it's like watching from a different planet. I completely expect them to continue on down this road. It's their style; and they've managed to put themselves into a box. No other way out. Terrible reasons for going but there you are.

Bill and I both just finished a rather bad book on Karl Rove. Neither of us liked it, so you can assume it's bad. But there are enough stories I had yet to hear about his activities to suggest that the best person to answer your question would be Rove. I think within the confines of the way the Bush-Rove combine operates, you have just asked, you won't like this, a political question, not a foreign policy question.
