The revered-in-tons-of-corners former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft definitively breaks ranks with the Bush administration in an article by nearly the same name, "Breaking Ranks," appearing in the upcoming Monday issue of The New Yorker.You have to wonder if this is an attempt to shake Shrub up enough to make him shake things up himself. It is becoming obvious that Shrub's administration is fucking things up so bad that the Bush conservatives see their hopes of domination rapidly going down the tubes.
The article will outline what decisions and events have built up to turn Brent Scowcroft against this Bush administration. Yes, that's right. . ."turned Brent Scowcroft against this Bush administration."
Jeffrey Goldberg, the author of the piece, has pulled off a stunning coup by not only getting Brent Scowcroft to talk -- but also getting some incredibly juicy commentary from President George H.W. Bush on the performance of his son's national security team.
Update
Something that just occured to me; are they trying to give Republicans running for office next year some cover to run from Shrub?
