<p>Mort Kondrake made a very interesting point tonight on Fox News.</p>

<p>The appointment of Gates (who is a member of the Baker Commission and is expected to rubber-stamp its recommendation on Iraq) should be viewed as Bush the Elder foreign policy folks being sent in to try to bail sonny-boy out of his mess.</p>

<p>True? I don’t know. But, the arrival of Baker and Gates on the scene certainly raises the possibility that Kondrake is correct in his assessment.</p>

<p>Kondrake continued that we’ll know for sure that is the case if sonny-boy agrees to discussions with Syria and Iran.</p>

<p>Hey. This ain’t that hard to figure out. All the cronies drew straws and Gates ended up with the short one. They’ll make sure he’s taken care of on the other side. None of these fellas will ever miss a meal. It’s “the Code”.</p>

<p>James Baker tends to be the ‘cleaner’ when it comes to Bush messes. But, George W. and Baker do not get on very well. I do have respect for James Baker’s abilities though…it would be an improvement if Gates gets him involved in Middle East issues.</p>

<p>This was interesting…published back in October.</p>

<p>“Mini, but Gates follow’s Bush’s pattern: he’s an old family friend, one of Daddy’s guys that bail him out when he gets in deep.”</p>

<p>He’s a yes man with a history of authorizing Colin Powell’s lies. Maybe that is the real Bush pattern?</p>

<p>But if there is no victory, how can we spend the $20 mil on the victory celebration? Haven’t they already let the contract?</p>

<p>gates must be thrilled that Iran Contra mess is going to be brought up again…yeah, now that was a classy time</p>
