Mistake Number One, big time. You can't hold a top job in any major organization and just wake up and say, "I'm taking that hat off for a bit- forget I'm CEO of X."
There are people in the Bush administration who think about invading Iran. There should be, and there are under any administration. You've got to be up on all the possible scenarios.
But, the President does not stand up and say, "Let's think about invading Iran." He does not say, "Look, this isn't me talking as President, but me shooting the breeze with a bunch of Yahoos in Ohio; let's talk about invading I-ran." When you have a job like that, the questions you ask are important.
