The Beaurocracy in STATE is so bad that our Civilian appointees are overwhelmed.
Has anyone noticed that there isn't ONE Arab writer who is happy about ANYTHING we do? What a bunch of whiny jerks.
If these idiots were so all-knowing, they would be showing us where the WMDs went...or they would have gotten rid of this jerk long ago.
I think we should appoint Mohammed from "Iraq the Model" as President for Life and act like a hockey player and get the puck out of there...what a bunch of ungrateful jerks.
Sounds like they miss the good ole days of Saddam.
Considering they just lost a war and got rid of one of the most brutal regimes in history
and are suddenly confronted with Freedom....
And are also awash in radical Islam and deep divisions jockeying for control...and armed insurgents
Given the time frame of all this happening in the last year or so....
Its amazing that it is as tame as it is...
Of course the democrats care nothing of Iraqis or freedom...their one consuming interest is POWER how to get it how to keep it and how to make sure others dont have access to the truth...smother the world in lies...and sew confusion...and offer yourself up as the solution
and urge the people to give you their power...
And then dominate them...
All things considered Iraq is in remarkable shape
imo
The State Department is out of control. Plain and simple. The Clintonistas run the show at Foggy Bottom, and they want nothing more than to be sure that our efforts in Iraq fail. They are succeeding.
State needs to be disbanded along with the UN. Let our foreign policy be run by the DoD.
It sounds like a bunch of takiyah.
He whines and moans about the horrible CPA, but in the end, the CPA is finished in a month anyway.
He says "Iraqis are angry" but cites no survey data or any evidence whatsoever.
Lies, lies, lies.
Right or wrong, this guy is speaking to the wrong audience. Why doesn't he spend some sabbatical time in Iraq explaining exactly what representative government is, how it benefitted him, and how they can use it for their own self betterment?
The Iraqis that the "mainstream" media finds are sitting around the cafe with a coffee and a hookah, bitching about how they don't have enough electricity, while pointedly ignoring the fact that it is a failure of Iraqis to turn in the terrorists blowing up power stations etc, and the most important fact that he CAN bitch about the prevailing government.
The sooner the Iraqis quit bitching, and start cooperating and taking responsibility for their own country, the sooner we can get the hell out of there.
Moral of the story: Dump Powell and get James Baker in the SOS office ASAP...
State is hopeless and useless.
