Meet the Press: Tim Russert Does A Bolten, Ricks Does Bush "Fiasco" in Iraq by Leah
No, not the Bolton with the big, bushy mustache, but Josh Bolten, George Bush’s clean-shaven, intelligent, softly-spoken chief-of-staff, but like all members of this administration, however intelligent, however conversant with facts, he is all talking points, all the time, which makes him boring to listen to, of course, but far worse, dangerously deficient in the area of reality-testing.
<snip>
The context for Russert’s opening questions were two reports by NBC correspondents from Israel and Lebanon;that’s where Russert began.
Would the US, asked Timmeh, be “open” to an international force on the Israeli-Lebanon border? Yes, said Bolten, as Secretary Rice has indicated, we would…BUT…the purpose of any such proposals, and all other proposals, as was repeated repeatedly, has to be a sustainable cease-fire. Sustainable solutions based on getting at root causes - that’s our policy, and until we get that…well, remember Israel has a right to defend itself.
Hello? Has anyone noticed that while this administration goes after their version of root causes, an actual war is going on?
...there will be more tomorrow...
