The Fixer says no.
I saw a sign of sheer desperation last week - the White House asked James Baker III to take over the reconstruction of Iraq.
Welp, looks like Baker knows not to try and fix the unfixable, and he has declined to help.
The Bush administration said yesterday that former secretary of state James A. Baker III will not join the Iraq reconstruction effort, as some administration officials had hoped.Baker was among several prominent figures some administration officials hoped to entice into taking charge of specific tasks related to the rebuilding process, such as seeking money from other countries or restructuring Iraq's debt.
State Department spokesman Richard A. Boucher said at his daily briefing that neither Baker nor Secretary of State Colin L. Powell "had ever heard about it -- it's a dead parrot."
Man, when Poppy's favorite fixer can't fix it and won't get involved, you can conclude things are screwed.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
If the price were right, I bet Kissenger would do it.
Think of all the expertise he brings to the table: conspiracies, cover-ups, clandestine operations, secret bombing campaigns, the list is endless.
