It was a "mistake" because Bush is a Republican....the Dem wars that do nothing are always good

Post #3 is a mistake
Well, then that settles it. He is to pull our troops out of Iraq as soon as elected. That was the one good question Lehrer asked Kerry-reciting Kerry's words of "how do you ask the last man to die for his country? how do you ask the last man to die for a mistake?". Kerry really didn't have too good an answer but this needs to be hammered by the Bush campaign. According to Kerry, we should bring the troops home because it is a mistake, as Holbrooke is saying it is and Kerry has been saying it is. And why didn't Bush hit Kerry when Kerry brought up how Bush said knowing what he knows now, Iraq was still the right decision. KERRY SAID THE SAME THING A FEW MONTHS BACK yet Bush did nothing to confront Kerry with that.
Yep, in Holbrook's world, bombing civilians from 20,000 feet, so as to not take any American casualties, is the "right" way to do a war.
KEEP ON KEEPING ON DUMS.
Please please put that wonderful picture of the four on every thread........it needs to be a reminder of class vs. crass.
No. Holbrooke served as our ambassador to Germany and as our ambassador to the UN. He has also served as an Assistant Secertary of State for European and Canadian Affairs, and he was confirmed by the Senate on August 25,1994. Holbrooke was also an FSO and a Peace Corps Director for Morocco.
Ambassador Holbrooke began his career in 1962, immediately after graduating from Brown University, as a Foreign Service Officer. After studying Vietnamese, he was sent to Vietnam and, in the following six years served in a variety of posts related to Vietnam -- first in the Mekong Delta as a provincial representative for the Agency for International Development (AID), and then as staff assistant to Ambassadors Maxwell Taylor and Henry Cabot Lodge. In 1966 he was re- assigned to the White House, working on the Vietnam staff of President Johnson. In 1967-69, he wrote one volume of the Pentagon Papers, served as a special assistant to Under Secretaries of State Nicholas deb. Katzenbach and Elliot Richardson, and simultaneously served as a member of the American Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks on Vietnam, Headed successively by Averell Harriman and Henry Cabot Lodge.
Good idea. It's time, isn't it?
Look at this scenario:
John Kerry wins the election.
John Kerry turns the Iraq war over to the UN.
The UN turns Saddam over to the World Court.
Based on Kofi Annan's statement that the war is illegal, the World Court declairs this and returns Saddam to power saying he should not have been removed by this war.
This is scary because it is a good possibiity.
Holbrooke has a very, very unsavory history. He is a fraud and should have his history splashed across the internet.
Just seeing our guys brought some lift to my heart this morning.
If I am not mistaken, Holbrooke and Jennings swapped wives a few years ago.
lol
Does anyone know what Holbrooke muttered to George Stephanopolis during "This Week..." when George was showing the candidates during the debate? In the first clip Holbrooke was in a split screen with Kerry and stated something obviously not intended for the viewers to hear. I'm just curious.
