Bush Spokesman On Implementing Iraq Report: "Jim Baker Can Go Back To His Day Job”
Here's the question: Is Baker acting as a friend of the family, trying to help his friend's son out of a tight spot —or is there more to it than that?

"Jim Baker is always an honest broker, "If he can help the family and help other families, I think he really strikes a two-fer."

It isn't the first time Baker has extended his hand to this president. Six years ago in Florida, he managed the legal strategy that delivered the White House for George W. Bush.

It appears that George has other plans, other i-d-e-a-s to consider, however, taking into consideration that the only reason Rumsfeld is gone, being replaced by Gates is due to Poppy stepping into the fray and doing some house cleaning.

In the end, Father will know best, he has to, Jim Baker has to go back and be the supporting Attorney-Team representing the Saudi oil rich defense lawsuit brought on by the victims of the 9-11 plane bombings in new York's WTC's.

1. He's an adjunct of the BFEE, BUT Dubya hates him
He distrusts his father even while being loyal to him in political terms. He sees his Presidency as an Oedipal triumph over the policy failures of his father's Presidency.

2. 1. If Jim B*ker is an honest broker, I'm Saddam Hussein. The ISG wanted to continue ripping off the
Iraqi people and their oil.

2. Nothing good could ever come out of anything with Poppy's pal B*ker involved, as long as *'s head is stuck so far up his own butt.

The entire planet is at the mercy of *'s sick & reckless oedipal/inferiority complex and the whims of whole psycho * clan. Talk about a buncha nogoodniks.

3. Baker is for Baker. He is looking for his history not the Bush's
he also comes at it all with a business type background and it seems Corp. should run the world. We all see the world through our own eyes and education.

5. Anonymous Sources
I hate it when the press quotes an anonymous source, especially a "spokesperson", who they refuse to identify. I read this article thinking it was on the record. If its off the record, it could just be one person's opinion. The implication of the original article with a title saying that a Bush spokesperson said this, implied that he had spoken on behalf of the administration.
