Ex Sec of State (under Clinton) for immediate cease fire
2006-07-28
The Wapo gives this fellow space but to be fair, the WaPo's editorial page does not share his opinion

By Warren Christopher

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's just-concluded trip to Lebanon, Israel and Rome was an exercise in grace, bravery and, to my regret, wrongly focused diplomacy. Especially disappointing is the fact that she resisted all suggestions that the first order of business should be negotiation of an immediate cease-fire between the warring parties....
Secretary Christopher goes on to extol himself for his work in 93 and 96

#15  Isn't that pretty much the definition of insanity, DMFD? Trying the same thing over and over, but expecting different results?

#14  Clintonistas: It didn't work in N. Korea, it didn't work the last 182 times in the middle east - LET'S TRY IT AGAIN!

#13  In response to post #6, Christopher. At least Maddie Halfbright could always pick out the appropriate brooch for the occasion. Christopher never learned to accessorize.

Of course, neither one of them looked as good as Condi in her boots, either.

#12  Somewhere in this story there's a great joke about Sandy Berger's pants.

#11  I hope Jewish Liberal voters are paying attention to what kind of support Israel should expect from Democrats.

#7  "Until three weeks ago, that agreement had succeeded for 10 years in preventing a wholesale resumption of hostilities."

In other words; The last decade has been just a few isolated incidences of rockets, ambushes, and suicide bombs. All is well..right Mr. Secretary?. Warren and his ilk must be seething to see a State Department that isnÂ’t tethered to the Doctrine of Status Quo.

#6  Warren Christopher or Madelaine Albright? Which will go down as the worst excuse for a Sec. of State in American history? Hmmmmm.

#5  Has he got a book thing going? That seems to be what brings these proven failures out of the woodwork.

#3  Another amusing statement from Warren "Parked On The Damascus Airport Tarmac" Christopher.

#2  Well, Warren, if you feel so strongly about it, why don't YOU go to Beirut Damascus and convince Nasty-rallah to stop attacking Israel?

I'm sure the Hizzie-fits will listen to you.

Oh, wait - that's not what you mean, is it?

Fuckwit.
