Baker’s Return

Here is something my North American blogging associates might chew on for me. An article in Rupert Murdoch’s The Australian, speculates on the return to influence of James A Baker; and by extension George Bush I.

THE Bush family's faithful fixer is, with little fanfare, slipping back into the key role of finding a "way forward" - if not a way out - for the US in Iraq.

The move seems to confirm my gut feeling that Iran is no longer on the agenda.
