of assholes. This sticks in my mind from the recent SFRC hearing:
KHALILZAD: Well, Senator, with regard to your broader point, I have no doubt that we have made mistakes in how we have dealt with this issue, and although I don't tend to look back, but rather to work with what I have to move forward. But I believe that no matter what one's view was and what one thinks about the mistakes, now that we are where we are, we need to do what we can to make this...
KERRY: Well, I understand that, Mr. Ambassador. The problem with the mistakes is that every time options have been put on the table and ignored, the situation gets more complicated. So the mistakes have to be taken into account in measuring what are our options, then.
KHALILZAD: You're right on how we got to where we are. I agree with that.
What a concept: trying to avoid the deadly missteps of the past and holding people accountable!
Khalizad was bent on repeating that tired denial that no one, not even Rove, believes. The more people they can convince that nothing that happened yesterday is relevant or real, the more they can continue along their destructive and deadly path.
