...Indeed, Cheney has assumed the role that powerful National Security Advisers like Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski played in the past. He has been the President's closest foreign-policy confidant. He has not merely coordinated policy, he has conceptualized it. Rumsfeld's outburst obscured the most important question raised by the President's apparent decision to give Condoleezza Rice a more prominent role in Iraq policy: Does this mean that the President is finally turning away from the Vice President...
...many experts now believe the U.S. should come up with an ultimatum--a solution imposed from on high with new rules, sweeteners for every camp and unbearable penalties if they balk. It's an approach favored in one form or another by such old hands as Zbigniew Brzezinski, National Security Adviser in the Carter Administration, and Robert Malley, a former Clinton peace negotiator.

...ironies and contradictions. While accusing the Clinton Administration of allowing the military to fall into a state of perilous disrepair, McCain says he would hold defense spending to its current level or even reduce it. The list of advisers he would consult to help him formulate foreign policy--Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, James Baker, Brent Scowcroft--sounds almost like a board of directors for the foreign-policy establishment. He wants to maintain the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy toward gays. On the matters with which he's most familiar, in other words, the revolutionary outsider looks...
