Bush powwows with former Secretaries of State on Iraq

how much was "show and tell...?"

"Not everybody around this table agreed with my decision to go into Iraq and I fully understand that," Bush said, adding that he had listened to their concerns and suggestions. "We take to heart the advice." But Bush offered no evidence he plans any significant changes in strategy.

and how much was "ask and listen...?"

Participants told reporters outside the West Wing afterward that there had been some dissent — gently voiced. ‘‘When you are in the presence of the president of the United States, I don’t care if you’ve been a devout Democrat for the last hundred years, you’re likely to pull your punches to some degree,’’ said Lawrence Eagleburger, a secretary of state under former president George H.W. Bush. ‘‘Now, there was some criticism. But it was basically, you haven’t talked to the American people enough. And it was very mild.’’

anybody want to offer an opinion on the amount of each...?

but at least he's now nervous enough to even bother...
