Envoy: U.S. Showed 'Stupidity' in Iraq

Regardless of what is being said on this thread, I firmly believe post-war planning was horrible at first. You would have to be fairly blind not to see that. To deny it is stupidity. Mistakes were made, the Admin is only human, and it shows. If only someone would come out and admit it instead of pretending everything went 100% correctly.

Now I have to put on some protective pants so I don't get injured during the humping. Just wait and see.

Give him a fair trial, then hang him for Treason.

Nah...its just time for another "Shock and Awe."

The theater has changed so we need to make our adjustments...and those adjustments need to be colossal.

Man, these turds sure do come out of the woodwork all at once, don't they?

Well, he's went over to "The Dark Side".
He follows the State Dept. Commie line:" Let's be nice--and they will be nice".

Heh Al, I heard of this website on the radio that might be of use to you:

If they can't help you, try www.monster.com, they, or their owners, seem to be aligned with your thinking, from what I've heard.

"We are witnessing failure in Iraq and that's not the failure of the United States alone but it is a disaster for the region. Failure in Iraq will be a failure for the United States but a disaster for the region."

The diplomat's job is to represent the United States, not himself. Whatever his personal opinions are, he should not say we are "witnessing failure" in Iraq. It does nothing to improve the image of the US, it only reinforces a negative image. This guy really needs to lose his job. Actually, it almost sounds as if he did this as a resume booster hoping to take over Olbermann/Couric/Dean/etc.'s job.

Mr. Fernandez ...
He served in the US Army and Reserves from 1976 to 1981.

A graduate of the U.S. Army Intelligence School at Ft. Huachuca, he studied Arabic at the Defense Language Institute-Foreign Language Center from 1976 to 1977.

From 1977 to 1979, he served in the 519th Military Intelligence Batallion/18th Military Intelligence Group/18th Airborne Corps in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

He graduated from the University of Arizona in 1981 with a B.A. in Middle East Studies. In 1983, he obtained an M.A. in Middle East Studies from the University of Arizona.

Mr. Fernandez has received several departmental awards including a Superior Honor Award in 2003 for his work in Afghanistan, Senior Foreign Service Performance Pay for 2003, 2 Sustained Superior Performance Awards, several Group Meritorious and Superior Honor Awards and USIA’s Linguist of the Year Award for 1996

So what? He could be the best brown-noser of the year and it doesn't change the fact that he should be canned immediately for what he said. If any person working for any employer in this country went out and badmouthed said employer, that employee would be canned in a heartbeat. Why should this person be treated differently?

The deafening mindless roar of Leftist propaganda never ceases, it seems.

Here we see another piece of pro-terrorist propaganda.

The Left insists on defining reality for all of us. Any dissidence is consigned to the wastebasket. The Left insists that we believe that reality is what ever they insist we believe.

People fall for Left BS everywhere. I see it every day. I watch propaganda vomit forth from the mass media in a never ceasing torrent. I watch people internalize, come to believe, such obvious lies.

If this is Democracy then heaven help us.

[F.J. Mitchell]

An educated fool, in other words.

I did. I get him and Anthony Cordesman (sp?) mixed up. I saw pic though so know now: author of "The “Tar Baby” Option: American Policy Toward Southern Rhodesia (1976). "

[FreedomNeocon]

He also talks up these crazy imams and sheiks that openly call for the destruction of Israel and the United States, and how suicide bombings are honorable... her refers to them as "scholars" and "figures worth of utmost respect" constantly.

He says its just 'BS fluff to be nice', but lack of clarity on who are the bad guys and who deserves respect is the LAST thing state should be encouraging.
