Who's this ding-dong on MSNBC

[FLAprogressive]

saying he doesn't think Bill Richardson is intelligent enough to be SoS?

He's the only one who's ever been an ambassador out of the three front runners!

[babylonsister]

1. Lawrence Eagleburger, former SoS. nt

[FLAprogressive]

4. Former SoS under George HW Bush....surprise surprise ANOTHER neocon goes out to endorse HRC.

You'd think all of this would add up.

[saracat]

8. Joe Biden is a PFNAC signatory. And there you have it.

13. Show me where

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

I don't see our Vice President's name on that letter.

[saracat]

14. I'll find the link. There are many letters not just one. I was dumfounded when I found it.

There are other surprising names as well.

15. Here you go

19. Yes, but that is not the infamous PNAC Iraq letter

That is a open letter to European heads of state in reference to terrorism because of that school in Russia being taken hostage.

[PBS Poll-435]

21. Yes

And it is.

Saracat didn't say that he was on the Iraq letter.

[saracat]

17. Here it is. I also see this has been mentioned on DU previously

22. Have you even READ the letter? It was written to Russia after they had a terrorist attack.

It was signed by foreign relation dignitaries from all over Europe and the US about Putin acting like an ass.

It was a LETTER - not a policy.

Look at the people who signed that letter.

geesh:rofl:

Sometimes I just have to wonder......

[saracat]

23. And what was the excuse for signing anything by PNAC?

The association with PNAC is not good no matter what the letter says. Anyone aligning themselves with PNAC for any reason whatsoever is NOT a good thing. And by all means , look at the people who signed that letter.

2. He is a total ass. Why can't Andrea interview someone with a brain.

[firedupdem]

7. I don't think she has much of a brain herself. n/t

5. Unfortunately though, much as I like Richrdson, he came across as a Doofus

during the Debates. And there are a couple of problems with Richardson that wouldn't survive "vetting" JMHO.

[DesertFlower]

12. he didn't do well in the debates,

but that doesn't mean he would not be a good SOS. why would he not survive vetting?

[Jennicut]

16. He has some bad stuff in his past too. The espionage thing at the Dept. Of Energy

[saracat]

24. There is other stuff too.

[ErinBerin84]

6. Oh god, fuck him.

[Born_A_Truman]

9. Full of himself, isn't he?

Doesn't feel that our PE knows much about foreign policy. Niiiiiiice.

Oh yeah, he must have been great as SOS under Poppy Bush:

December 8, 1992 – January 20, 1993
Acting Secretary from August 23, 1992

[WinkyDink]

18. "Himself" would not be quite the word I'd use.

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

10. Finally, somebody with a permanent frown as big as...

Newt Gingrich.

These guys need to go pay shuffleboard. They have no role to play in 21st Century politics whatsoever.

[Lex]

11. Well known to be a blow-hard Eagleburger.
