A brief note: Brad R. at Sadly, No! finds this fascinating quote from Michael Ledeen in an article in Vanity Fair about how the neocon hawks feel about the problems in the prosecution of the war in Iraq.
Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura [Bush], Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes.
Ledeen is the neocon known for using cartoonish concepts like "Terror Masters" (right from bad superhero comic, no?) in book titles. Apparently, he's quite prominent. The other quotes in the S,N! post are pretty good too.
I do note that I occasionally find people blame the flaws of empires on the associated seraglios. I think that I am right to be skeptical. But Ledeen is just funny.
Michael Ledeen meets Norman Spector. Gah!
Michael Ledeen is one of the lowest of the low, a fraud artist, a war-monger, a foul-mouthed egomaniac and xenophobe ... so in a way, it's good to find out that he is also a sexist jerk.
It terrifies me that men like him are still quoted as authorities on anything in the U.S. The world will not be safe until guys like him are called to answer for what they have done in an international court.
Guess why they all oppose the ICC?

Ms. Rice, has had to justify her credentials so many times already. How depressing to hear this idiot state that her only qualification is "loving the president".
