Photo Op To Cop Out Of Iraq Mess

"Thirteen former cabinet members showed up to sit through a 40-minute briefing on the successes in Iraq given by Bush, by General George Casey, CENTCOM honcho, and by former Unicol officer, AIPAC co-founder, Afghanistan ambassador now Iraq ambassador Zalmay Khalizad. Bush allowed less than 10 minutes for questions or comments from the 13 members before they were rushed into the Oval Office for a "family" photo, then herded into another room to sit through another briefing by National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley. As soon as the cameras were turned off, the meeting was over and Bush, Rice, Cheney and Rumsfeld fled, leaving the former VIPs to find their own way out. It was a pitiful sight, and I can't help thinking it served them right for allowing themselves to be used in such a shoddy way."
