the Fixer is not talking peace

The word being whispered is that Daddy 41 is exasperated by the bungled mess created by his firstborn, Dubya, and Consigliere Jimmy Baker is on the hustings (ostensibly to flog his book, what genius timing) to hint that peace in Iraq can be achieved by a change in strategy.
BUT DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!

The Mainstream Media MEME is that the worried voter doesn't need to change horses in mid-stream, you don't need to switch party from R to Dem to achieve peace, the big boys are coming in to help rewrite the mission and end the occupation.
Bullshit.
Read the fine print.
The third solution is to ramp up the occupation, but is the media focusing on that possibility? no.

The Bush Dynasty reputation is at stake here. Mr. Baker, the Fixer, Mr. Corleone's Consigliere, will not allow the dynasty to be defeated.

He was willing to subvert the election in 2000, orchestrating the selection of the losing vote getter - in effect, subverting the definition of DEMOCRACY.
So why wouldn't he sling the propaganda of peaceful pullout now, for a few weeks before this crucial election, just enough to sooth the disturbed sheep, in order to save his leige lord's legacy.

a helluva mess: BakerFrom correspondents in London

FORMER US secretary of state James Baker was visibly shocked when he last visited Iraq, and said the country was in a "helluva mess", the BBC reported today.
Mr Baker is leading a review of the situation in Iraq by a bipartisan US committee of experts, and is expected to recommend a change in US strategy for rebuilding Iraq.
Citing a unnamed close friend and ally of Mr Baker's, himself a top politician, the BBC reported that Mr Baker said "there simply weren't any easy solutions".

Mr Baker was secretary of state to US President George W. Bush's father, president George Bush. Citing unnamed members of Mr Baker's committee, The Los Angeles Times yesterday said that two options under consideration would represent reversals of US policy - withdrawing American troops in phases, and bringing neighbouring Iran and Syria into a joint effort to stop the fighting.

The BBC also reported that a third possibility was under consideration - to concentrate on getting stability in Iraq, and stop aiming to establish a democracy there.

The 10-member commission has agreed that change must be made, the Times report said.
"It's not going to be 'stay the course,'" the paper quoted one participant as saying. "The bottom line is, (current policy) isn't working. There's got to be another way."
=======================================
The video clip below is an interesting insight into the dank mind of our shadow government. Krystol wants more more more war, clearly. More war means a draft, boys.

"We're obviously beyond the point where one could say with any degree of originality that Christopher Hitchens is a morally and intellectually bankrupt sociopath. He is the true heir to the Stalinist left that he relentlessly rails about; there is no limit to the death and destruction that he's willing to tolerate in service of his revolution. What's more important now is to note that those who willingly associate themselves with people like Hitchens and Bill Kristol should be viewed in the same light. To paraphrase Yglesias, even if we were to find something of value in the Euston Manifesto or the work of PNAC (and this is a tremendous "if"), associating with the people who press these intellectual projects is, in itself, evidence of a lack of seriousness about foreign policy."
