Watch CNN sometimes. You have chosen to ignore the folks I'm talking about:

John Bolton - undersecretary of state for arms control and international security
Eliot Cohen - on Donald Rumsfeld's Defense Policy Board
I. Lewis Libby - Cheney's chief of staff
Dov Zakheim - undersecretary of defense and CFO for the Pentagon

No influential positions relating to foreign affairs or defense, right?

Nice try!
