I wonder if James Baker was CIA embedded in government positions and agencies.
-As Secretary of State he put together the unprecedented coalition of nations that fought the first Gulf War.
-As George W. Bush’s master strategist in the disputed 2000 Florida election, Baker came out of retirement and back into the spotlight for what may be his most controversial role. Baker craftily steered the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, winning the White House for his close friend's son.
-White House chief-of-staff
-Treasury Secretary
-UN Envoy to Western Sahara
-Consultant to Enron
-Co-Chairman Iraq Study Group
"Nothing in Baker’s early life suggested such a successful Washington career. He was a 40-year-old Houston lawyer who had never worked a day in government when his good friend and tennis partner, George H. W. Bush, recommended him to President Gerald Ford. Within 18 months Baker had become the chair of Ford’s 1976 presidential campaign. It was a meteoric rise — and Baker was just at the beginning of a public service career that would literally change history."
