As you remember, the British government admitted they were legit: C reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime's record. There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action.

Or is he just another flawed human that was > able to cover his flaws from the public... for a while? I don't recall anyone ever saying he wasn't an obnoxious jerk all along. All we were saying was that we were able to separate the person from the performance, and we admired the performance. The fact that a particular person was responsible for that performance only served to raise our interest in him...but only as a performer. A remarkable performer. I don't recall anyone here ever offering to have him over to the house for dinner...or to date their daughter...or to entrust him with their investments. Ken was simply unable to separate the man from the performance. A typical reaction of a simpleton incapable of complex thinking. Randy |
