...little dose of realism" about the continental mood. But Bush already knew trouble awaited him, so he held a secret prep session on May 31 in the Yellow Oval Room, upstairs at the White House, and invited specialists from across the political spectrum. Sure, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Rice were there, along with a host of lesser Bushies. But none of them did the talking. Instead, five outsiders briefed the President, among them Michael McFaul, a Democrat and a Russia expert and Rice colleague from Stanford; Tom Graham, a Republican think-tanker; and Felix Rohatyn, the New York investment...
