US presidential envoy Richard Holbrooke on Friday voiced the Obama administration’s full confidence in the ability of the democratic Pakistani government to deliver services for its people as he rubbished media reports implying that Washington might be concerned about the performance of the elected government to the point of seeking change.

Referring to stories that spoke of the Obama administration considering the civilian government weak, Holbrooke, special representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan, said, ‘I don’t understand these stories.’

This is journalistic garbage. This is journalistic gobbledygook. It’s a story being hyped by journalists,’ he added, when asked to comment on interpretations in the Pakistani Press about President Obama’s remarks in a Press Conference.

The remarks referred to the weakness of civilian institutions in Pakistan and were widely interpreted by the Pakistani press as signaling an American assessment of the civilian government being weak.

He cant help himself. Biden at least can think, Obama? I think he either reads it, or parrots liberal ideology. Biden is weird but has substance compared to Obama’s nothingness.

Richard C. Holbrooke - Vice Chairman, Perseus, LLC

Managing Director, Lehman Brothers
Board member, AIG
Director - Council on Foreign Relations
Chairman of the CFR “Terrorism Task Force” (would that be economic terrorism, Richard?)
IISS member
Chairman of Rockefeller’s Asia Society

Flouting himself as the “Balkans Bulldozer” Holbrook brokered the ‘peace’ talks after the NATO/US war in kosovo. Holbrooke is said to have offered Radovan Karadzic total immunity from war crimes if he would just disappear. When Karadzic refused, Holbrooke repeatedly tried to have him assasinated. Naturally, Holbrooke defends the recent US sponsored Georgian slaughter in S. Ossetia.

And for all you Obama zombies out there, Holbrooke and many other Bilderberg bankers serve as advisors to Barry. Why do you think he had a secret meeting with them in Virginia this year? In fact, Holbrooke’s partner at Perseus, the bilderberger James A. Johnson was supposed to choose Obama’s running mate until word got out to the public.

Wow, that's saying something. "Biden is weird but has substance compared to Obama’s nothingness."
