So the admin. is bracing for a powerful attack by Brent Scowcroft

Old Bush vs. New
UPI

Saturday 22 October 2005

Washington - The Bush administration is bracing for a powerful new attack by Brent Scowcroft, the respected national security adviser to the first President George Bush.

A Republican and a former Air Force general, Scowcroft is a leading member of the bipartisan foreign policy establishment, and his critique of both of the style and the substance of the Bush White House, is slated to appear in Monday's editions of the New Yorker magazine.

The article also contains some critical comments on the handling of U.S. foreign policy by the current President Bush from his father, whose 1989-1993 presidency is hailed for deft management of the end of the Cold War, German unification, the first Gulf war and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The new attack comes hard on the heels of the denunciation of "the cabal around Cheney's office" by Col. Larry Wilkerson, the chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell in a widely reported speech to the New American Foundation in Washington this week. Wilkerson said the national security decision-making process was effectively "broken."

3. I have the Oct. 24 edition and it's not in there.
Is this actually the Oct. 31 edition, perhaps? I know magazines generally publish well ahead of the date listed on their masthead.

The same article is alleged to have quotes from GHWB smacking down the BA's foreign policy fucktacular screwups.
