U.S. Diplomat Laments BushCo's "Arrogance" and "Stupidity" in Iraq

@ 08:02 PM (22 months, 24 days ago)

No kidding, sherlock!  You don't say!  A U.S. diplomat is now speaking out against what he sees as the Bush Administration's "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq.  (He's just now realizing this?  I could have clued him in a long time ago).

Alberto Fernandez is the Director of Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department.  In an interview with Al -Jazeera t.v. on today, he said "We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because, undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States in Iraq."

Memo to Fernandez: The Bush Administration's entire foreign policy is based on a "with us or against us" arrogance.  Anyone not in lock step with BushCo.'s foreign policy is perceived as being on the side of evil.

Diplomat: U.S. has shown 'arrogance,' 'stupidity' in Iraq

  1. I think Winston Churchill described this little gnome seeking his 15 minutes of fame best: "A modest little person, with much to be modest about."

  2. I see BarryG is still very much in denial about the RePEDOcan failure in Iraq.

    Tell me, Barry. Why don't you get your worthless ass to the recruiter's office and go support our troops?
    Surely you're not too cowardly to fight in a war you're so convinced is just.

  3. Why don't you get off drugs for a month and go sign up yourself smartass. Historically it is way to soon to judge anything, especially regarding those middle easterners who have been at each others' throats for thousands of years.

    In the meantime, a punk like you should trying READING some history before trying to be a know it all. Jackass.
