I guess this is the global test that Kerry was talking about. Nice to know that U.S. interests and national security could change on the whim of intertnaional currents.

One of the fundamentals of success in sports, business, politics, and yes, foreign relations is to unite your alies and divide your enemies. Obviously Bush and his PNAC handlers never learned that lesson.

PNAC = Project for the New American Century

Here's a list of signatures on its Statement of Principals (1997):

Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William J. Bennett, Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Midge Decter, Paula Dobriansky, Steve Forbes, Aaron Friedberg, Francis Fukuyama, Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle, Donald Kagan Zalmay Khalilzad, I. Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz, Dan Quayle, Peter W. Rodman, Stephen P. Rosen, Henry S. Rowen, Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber, George Weigel, Paul Wolfowitz

Any of them ring a bell? If you wonder where the basic philosphy of the Bush years was formulated, you need look no farther than HERE

So all this talk of it being Bush's policy is nonsense. It was all spelled out well before George made his first visit to New Hampshire. It is interesting that his brother's a signer but he's not. Plausible deniability perhaps?
