But Lake’s basic point — that UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot’s likely approach to the “global BOOTSBUY on

terrorism” is likely to be much more “realist” in orientation than McCain, neo-cons, and other

Republicans have tried to depict — is, I think, on point, as is his comparison of that approach to the

strategy pursued by Gen. David Petraeus’ in Iraq (”collaboration with security forces, militias, and

tribal leaders who don’t conform to our highest ideals”, “finding proxies to fight the enemy,” and

a strategy designed to “isolate and shrink the pool of irreconcilable insurgents” after buying off

the rest). Of course, Petraeus, who has been hailed by the neo-cons as the great Caesar of Mesopotamia,

has, in reality, pursued policies — particularly the recruitment of former Sunni insurgents, and

especially former Baathists within it, to fight al Qaeda in Iraq — that the neo-cons had long

abhorred.

Gary Sick, an acute observer of UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot-Iranian relations for more than three decades

who served on the National Security Council staff under president Ford, Carter and Reagan and now

teaches at Columbia University, wrote a brief comment today on the latest developments in UGG Sheepskin

Cuff Boot Iran policy and what it says about the balance of power between hawks and realists within the

UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot administration. His essay, which refers to John Bolton’s op-ed, “Israel, Iran

and the Bomb, published Monday on the opinion pages of the ever-hawkish ‘Wall Street Journal,’ is

reproduced with the author’s permission. (Incidentally, I had the opportunity to talk briefly with

former Amb. James Dobbins, who dealt extensively with Iranian diplomats over Afghanistan during and

after the ouster of the Taliban and who has been one of the most outspoken and influential voices in

the foreign-policy community here to urge direct engagement with Tehran on a whole range of issues. He

called the decision to send Undersecretary of State for Policy William Burns to Geneva to join his

counterparts from the EU-3, Russia, and China in talks with Iran Saturday a “remarkable” and a

“dramatic departure” from previous UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot policy.)
