...James Baker, Brent Scowcroft, Colin Powell and Dick Cheney. President Kennedy conducted the Bay of Pigs Fiasco in a similar manner. He then sought a wide range of advice during the Cuban Missile Crisis. That's one reason there wasn't a Cuban Missile Fiasco. Even if you eventually reject your opposition's dissenting views, it doesn't hurt to hear them...
...joint Baghdad-Moscow production, Foreign Ministry spokesman Vitali Churkin Friday morning coolly labeled it an Iraqi plan that the Soviets were still discussing and not exactly endorsing. Later on, after the Bush ultimatum, a senior Soviet diplomat said not only that Moscow knew that the allies would reject the eight-point plan but also that "they were right not to accept it."
