Bush's neo-con policy: "Dumbest policy on the face of the earth,"
This is not the characterization of John Kerry, or Richard Clarke, or Al Gore. It's the conclusion -- of all people -- of Colin Powell's own chief of staff:

Chief of staff Larry Wilkerson is also quoted expressing resentment about the influence of neo-conservatives within the administration, while blasting one of the bedrock policies of the Bush administration, its hardline stance against the Cuban government.

"Dumbest policy on the face of the earth," Wilkerson reportedly told the magazine. "It's crazy."

Some State Department officials were surprised by Wilkerson's outspoken remarks, and suggested the chief of staff may have thought he was speaking on background and not for attribution.

1. Hmm, me smell something funny..
Is Powell sick of being the 'good soldier'? Is he trying to submarine * in order to restore the GOP to its more conservative roots? Has he felt like this all along only to wait for the most politically opportune moment? A very interesting development, indeed.
