This moron is a diplomat?...Why didn't they ask the previous diplomat (Wilson?) for his opinion...Eagleburger seems to think the important thing was that the USA didn't back down....Why did Bush even bother to go there?....a waste fo time!!!!!

1. Now wait a fuckin minute....
I distinctly remember Larry Eagleburger siding with Bush Sr, Scowcroft and a few of the other old farts as being against the invasion (before). So now he's jumping on the PNAC bandwagon??

Oh yeah, right... who ever said right wingers stick to principles? :eyes:

Didn't Eagleberger say that if there weren't any WMD's, Bush
should be impeached? I could swear he said that back in May, when another pundit was saying that the invasion was about oil. I guess he "misspoke".

10. I think what he said back in May was in reference to Syria
He was asked about Syria being next on the hit list and that's when he said Bush should be impeached if we invaded Syria. That's how i remember it.

4. I definitely detected that Bush is much less cocky than previously
Also Powell and Condi Rice sitting in the audience don't look so upbeat either....I think they know they're in deep doo-doo!!...I LOVE IT!!!!

5. I TOLD YOU TO TURN THAT SHIT OFF
West Wing is on Bravo. If you're going to watch make-believe, at least find a channel where the actors are better looking than Eagleburger.

9. Wonder how many listening
remembered - the documented lies told to them by Powell.

That before the last time bushies were going to present (but then pulled as they knew they didn't have support so they decided to cowboy it alone) that the NSC (Condi's organization) was bugging their living suites.

And remembering those things, and hearing the cowboy's swagger and innuendo, just what is likely going through their minds?
