#2 McNamara, 89, served under Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. Although he was a key architect of early U.S. policy in Vietnam, he eventually became disillusioned with the war there.

"100,000 more men is all we need I tell you, only 100,000, thats roughly 5 divisions, 100,000, we'll have them all cleaned out in no time, China and Russia will never invade."

#3 I'll say again, I don't think this meeting had anything to do with Iraq. Iraq is a done deal.

However, Iran will require every bit of brain power and insider information that can be obtained from anywhere. By reaching back, quite literally, through 40 years of information and experience, Bush is demonstrating once again his near obsessive infatuation with strategic planning.

#4 I agree with anonymouse. There just isn't enough to discuss regarding Iraq at this point. Yet Iran is a hairy nut to deal with and I imagine Bush was hoping for any kind of insight they might not have thought of before as well as guarantees of silence.
