Look out, George! James Baker's coming back for another shot.

and you thought that flipping off the iraq study group report got him out of your hair once and for all...

"The newly launched National War Powers Commission will be chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker, fresh off leading the Iraq Study Group, along with another former top diplomat, Warren Christopher," reports Neil King, Jr. for the [The Wall Street Journal's 'Washington Wire']. "The panel enter a debate almost as old as the republic, but also one that is particularly salient now as Democrats in Congress ponder whether to curtail funding for the Iraq war or even to repeal the 2002 measure authorizing it."

you didn't really think you could diss daddy's consigliere and get away with it, now did you...?
