The pattern over the last 6 years has been that the crazies in the Bush Administration do whatever they want & then the Establishment convinces itself that it's being listened to by getting even crazier itself. Their epic work last year was the Baker-Hamilton report, which, though ignored in practice, provides a very clear map to Establishment thought. What got my attention was the huge level of often self contradictory detail. The first point about the oil industry was that we should convince the Iraqis that we don't want to control their oil. This was followed by 6 very detailed points about how the Iraqis should run their oil industry & distribute its revenues.
Yeah, they're eejits.
