Richard Holbrookes's response to world leaders supporting John Kerry
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 09:43 AM by flpoljunkie

"It's so obviously the truth what Kerry said, and the Republicans are just having fun with it — everybody knows it's true," Mr. Holbrooke said, adding that he called after speaking to Ms. Cutter. "In the last six or seven months, I've been in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. I've met with leaders in all of those regions, and they have overwhelmingly — not unanimously but overwhelmingly — said that they hope that there's a change in leadership."

9. Clark & Holbrooke:
Sec'y of State and National Security Advisor (in whatever order)? What an improvement that would be over Lyin' Colon Bowel and Con De-Rice.

10. No kidding! Colin Bowel?
Hahahaha! Good one!

Holbrooke stood by Wes when Shelton smeared him....he said the military top brass were just jealous and intimidated by having such an intellectual and handsome man, such as Wes Clark, amongst them. :) Great guy. I love him for that. Now, he's defending Kerry....awesome. He should definitely be in Kerry's administration.

Holbrooke and Clark and Jamie Rubin would rock the world.
