#1 Here we go, low-ranking "former diplomat" who obviously hopes the mission will fail. And, who also obviously feels that it was better that 10,000 Iraqis were murdered every year, that's 200 a week, than to do anything about it. Quite the humanitarian. Quite the patriot.

#2 Our biggest problem is a State Department run by and for spineless poltroons like Kiesling.

#3 Hey Brady, I thought Cheney was Bush's puppet master. ~~Quilsling~~ Kiesling is looking pretty foolish for leaving his post. He also looks pretty foolish pretending to know the insider situation at the top levels in Washington. He is was a Political Counsellor in Athens fer cryin' out loud.

Newspaper readers in Athens must be pretty eager to gobble up this nonsense about Bush, Rumsfeld and Iraq but even they must be asking themselves a question or two about this guy. Aris?

If only they were just spineless - actually, they've gone over to the enemy.
