"MODERATE" RUDY

From this week's New York Observer cover story about the '08 presidential candidates' advisers on Iraq policy:

...Mr. Giuliani has criticized some aspects of the American performance in Iraq, but has basically supported the President's plan without addressing its specific shortcomings. Asked about his day-to-day Iraq advisor, his campaign would only say that he speaks with many individuals, including retired Gen. Jack Keane and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton....

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

(Keane, in case you don't know, is one of the architects of Bush's "surge." Bolton, of course, needs no introduction.)
