Oh, I think it's fairly inevitable you return to the Church of W, not that I'd have any influence one way or the other. I must note with amusement your contribution in Message 22032389 I don't know exactly what topic you thought was on the agenda there, but, from nytimes.com ; But if it was a bipartisan consultation, as advertised by the White House, it was a brief one. Mr. Bush allowed 5 to 10 minutes for interchange with the group - which included three veterans of the Vietnam era: Robert S. McNamara, Melvin R. Laird and James R. Schlesinger - before herding the whole group into the Oval Office for what he called a "family picture." I'm sure there was quite a "frank and open" discussion during that 5-10 minutes, over an obviously wide ranging agenda. It is left as an exercise to the reader to decide if this particular PR event was more or less meaningful than, say, the "top gun" stunt or the turkey dinner thing.
