James Rubin & Heritage Stooge on CNN |

Edited on Tue Sep-23-03 11:45 AM by Cush
Heritage guy: POwerful and successful speech
James: Only partially successfull. I find it strange that Chalabi, who has wanted this invasion for years says he now agrees with Chirac and not Bush

THought it was arrogant, Bush basically said "I Broke it, now help me fix it"
Rubin: I agree on the tone. Texas slang won't work internationally

He's buying Bush's pretense at concern for these victims...Rubin always says just enough pro-Bush stuff to keep him in good standing...that's been my observation. edit---His wife, Christianne Amanpour has more guts than him...She just did an interview somewhere (don't have a link) where she said she and her cohorts at CNN were muzzled and self censored re the Iraq war...IMO

5. State Dept. people are supposed to weigh the positives |
|
along with the negatives. It's a BIG part of the job.
The last thing you want in the State Dept. is someone who talks like an internet message board.

I think the world was waiting for humility and he didn't do anything. He insulted them once, and basically did it again
Rubin: Bush keeps losing people when he says Iraq is/was part of the War on Terror even before the war. The world doesn't see it that.
Rubin: If Annan had praised Bush's policy, your guest would have said it was ok. Annan doesn't have to answer to anyone, its his right to do so in diplomatic terms
