This was the line that was a no-brainer because it's exactly what Kerry did after he came back from Vietnam.
The issue is Kerry's willingness to advance allegations that his own campaign acknowledges may not be true.
Actually, Holbrooke had another moment of "unfortunate truthtelling" on Fridaynight on O'Reilly when he said that as part of a (cough.. hack...) Kerry admin, the way to get the Muslim world more on our side would be to "pressure Israel more"...
One of the only media people to catch this incredible statement and write about it was... Bill Kristol.
So evidently, BK has been paying CLOSE attention to what Holbrooke says downt he stretch... seing as how everyone thinks he would be the new Secy of State in a (cough..hack..) Kerry admin.
It'll be interesting to see how the Kerry campaign manages to backtrack and spin Holbrook's statement just like NBC backtracked from their original story Monday night about how a search was made at QaQaa and no explosives were found. It'll be another "It depends on what the meaning of the word "TRUTH" is.."
