The state of Iraq
: Again, I can’t quote from the Foursquare conference but I will report this: Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations (and a former adviser to Colin Powell) and Richard Holbrooke (former member of Clinton’s cabinet and ambassador to the U.N.) talked about Iraq and when they finished, the guy in front of me turned around and moand, “Boy, that was depressing.” Yes, I said, what was most depressing was that these two guys from different administrations — engaging in smart conversation based on considerable knowledge and experience — agreed about so much and had so few solutions. Iraq is hard.
