My point is that sweet Condi would love to fire up a debate of her own based on foreign policy. The lingering question: “Will she fit into any of Sarah Palin’s purloined campaign outfits for her television appearances?”

Even more irritating is the artificial birth of the famous synthetic debates. We went through this when the nation was supposedly “debating” whether or not “it was a civil war in Iraq.” The second wave was whether or not “it was a recession or a depression.” Now it is whether or not “it was terrorism.”

Does anyone else cringe when they listen to AM radio half-wits prop up “questions” or “debates” with well established answers already made, implying that something interesting might emerge from air wave blabbering of cowboys and bigots mouthing carefully tailored talking points?

And why would people take seriously the Kissinger Group, considering what the principal of that organization has done over the years?
