Holbrooke disagrees with Obama’s assessment By Anwar Iqbal Saturday, 02 May, 2009 | 12:39 PM PST |

WASHINGTON: US presidential envoy Richard Holbrooke disagrees with President Barack Obama’s description of the Zardari government as ‘very fragile,’ which is incapable of delivering even basic services to its people.

In an interview hastily arranged by the Pakistan Embassy to undo the impression created by President Obama’s remarks, Mr Holbrooke said he believed the Zardari government was capable of doing what his boss said it was not.

Questioned pointedly if the government in Islamabad was capable of delivering what is being expected from it, he replied: ‘Of course, the government in Islamabad is capable of running the country. They are democratically elected, a fine group of people,’ said Mr Holbrooke when asked if the Zardari government was capable of delivering what’s expected from it.

At his Wednesday evening news conference, President Obama said he was ‘gravely concerned’ and believed that ‘the civilian government there right now is very fragile and don’t seem to have the capacity to deliver basic services: schools, healthcare, rule of law, a judicial system that works for the majority of the people.’

He added: ‘As a consequence, it is very difficult for them (the government) to gain the support and the loyalty of their people.’

But Ambassador Holbrooke appeared to be blaming the Pakistani media for remarks made by his president.

‘This is journalistic garbage. This is journalistic gobbledygook. It’s a story being hyped by journalists,’ said Mr Holbrooke when asked to comment on interpretations of President Obama’s remarks in the Pakistani press.

Was he talking about Pakistan or the US?

Holbrooke considers BO a journalist?

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.

One of the many lovely people in Barry’s world.

Obama and Holbrooke are not on the same page:

My view is that Obama IS attempting to undermine the Paki government, in favor of the Saudi’s hand-picked man, Nawaz Sherif.
