It turns out, the full quoted statement was in this thread's article.
Anyway...
While you're at it, I would suggest you check out one of those Negroponte, Wiki links from your google search.
Look under the heading, "Ambassador to Honduras(1981 - 1985)". Be careful to consider that Wiki has a leftward bias.
Read about Ronald Reagan's ambassador to Honduras. Negroponte was Reagan's Contra man. He was the key man in Reagans successful Cental America policy. The left absolutely hates him.
He also played a similar role in S. Vietnam although ultimately Nixon failed in Vietnam.
As I said before, I want to see more than some cheap gothchas from two quotes before I dump on this Freedom loving patriot.
