I just meant that my gut was similar to his.<BR/><BR/>My whole leaning about the Middle East for years has been that maybe, maybe, we should have gone to Iran (not necessarily sayig war but mor intensive efforts) before Iraq...so I have a sense of...what's the word...sypatico with Gaffney.Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319045516368609297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16220268.post-1140744982743805462006-02-23T19:36:00.000-06:002006-02-23T19:36:00.000-06:00Lileks for details of national security?
