Bush seems to already be taking Scowcroft's advice, and I bet he wishes he had taken his advice on Iraq too.

I don't think reaching out to Europe is mutually exclusive to abandoning Israel. I think it's more complicated than that. Scowcroft is on the Board of Directors of QUALCOMM, and I think he is probably a good friend of Irwin Jacobs......a practicing Jew. Isreal is the only country in the area (Europe,ME) that adopted CDMA technology from the get go. Scowcroft presumedly works at encouraging the rest of Europe and the ME to adopt CDMA technology. I haven't read his article in the WaPo because I've been out to town, and I have allot of catching up to do. I hope you've posted it on your thread.
