I predict that we'll be out of there sooner than later. Bush-1 is now
involved (finally). Even if he's doing it just to save the family name from
ridicule, he's lacing various advisory groups (and the DOD) with a few sane
people from his time on the stage. He spends more public time with Clinton
than with his own son (not surprising) - but there's probably a motive,
which any father would understand: His people are going to come up with a
plan that's at least semi-acceptable to all parties. Clinton, as a favor to
another ex-pres, will discreetly arrange for Democrats to make the final
plan appear to be Nookular Boy's idea.
