Sometimes you gotta wonder if they are really that stupid or just pathetic at lying.
Two choices John. you are a duped stooge that filled a role or you are in on it. And considering your history I am unsure as to which, if not both is the truth.
I can imagine the three of them standing in a room trying to slap each other silly.
Serious mccain? Last I checked, Kerry is the Secretary.
Cat-Fight!
Didn’t Egyptian officials refer to McCain and Graham as idiots and McCain as a senile old man?
Part of me says it would even be worse if Susan Rice were Secretary of State. Another part wonders if Obama doesn't feel vindicated if the whole world comes crashing down when he doesn't get his way.
If this report is true, it is abysmal management on Obama’s part to even send these guys over there. Anybody who manages people knows you don’t let their efforts fragment, you don’t let your mission dissipate, you minimize the number of individuals involved in any given task of persuasion — all because it is notoriously difficult to keep individuals on message, and it is pro forma for the other side to look for cracks in your team and try to leverage them into canyons.
It may or not be true, what McCain says (he is a feckless boob, after all) but the entire idea is stupid.
You have a secretary of State. You do not weaken his voice by adding other voices. You signal to the other side that this is your negotiator, there are no others, he speaks with the endorsement from the highest levels, and then you hone the message and the tactics down to where your negotiator knows exactly how to zig and zag under all possible pressures — and you shut everybody else on your side up.
(I’m CEO of a medium size company. I’ve made enough mistakes to speak with authority about them.)
Ok... mccain is on drugs... it becomes clear.
Good. Eat each other up. This administration is going to unravel. The hatred for each other, the infighting, the egos, the loss of peace they face. Hope they all had a good vacation.
