<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This was least expected from Chairman of Republican Party, it seems they are still making policy with misplaced concept regarding Indian subcontinent and they are still sleeping regarding Indiaâs strategically desire.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ken Mehlman is by no means expert in nuke landscape or foreign affairs or diplomacy. Like the Brownie (ex-FEMA guy) he was appointed Chairman as payback for earlier work leading up to 04 election of Bush. Don't read too much into Mehlman's comments, he was there just batting for Bush. He's supposedly a career pollster with encylopedic knowledge/memory about names and numbers pertaining to every little polling district in US

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->My favorite Mehlman moment came when Russert cited a poll showing that Republican support was tanking. Mehlman's answer: "Usually, when I get a poll like that, I fire the pollster." Mehlman paused a half-second, as if for a rim shot, and then went on to say, "But seriously..." The lame joke reveals how the BushCo mind works. When Joe Wilson tells you Iraq isn't buying yellowcake from Niger, what do you do? Send a firing squad after Wilson. When they tell you that Curveball's a liar, Chalabi's a liar, al-Libi's a liar, do you reassess your intelligence in light of those warnings? No, you put your thumbs in your ears and sing nyah-nyah-nyah-I-can't-hear-you. But seriously... More than two thousand American dead in Iraq, and they're feeding us Borsht Belt shtick?
