Director of Research, Saban Center for Middle East Policy
Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies, The Brookings Institution

[QUOTE]
"One of the things this administration is famous for is its
unwillingness to staff hard foreign policy problems. It has a very bad
habit of locking the Situation Room door, throwing ideas out on the
table and voting for one before anyone has gone back to their staff to
think things through, develop various options, recognize ramifications
and understand the consequence of their actions."
--Kenneth Pollack
