Did anyone hear Bob Kerrey say * was negotiating with the Taliban 9/10

[maddezmom]

on CNN? Is this new, cuz I never heard it before. :shrug:

1. I'd heard they were negotiating over the summer

Dealing with the Unocal pipeline, the whole 'carpet of gold or carpet of bombs' conversation, etc...

First I've heard that they were negotiating on 9/10, however. More information appreciated.

3. he was refuting rudy's charges that JK still has a pre-9/11 mindset

and Kerrey said everything had changed after 9/11 and went on to say...look, * was negotiating with the Taliban on 9/10 for OBL release.

2. oh yes! you should read

"The Forbidden Truth" AND Ted Rall's "To Afghanistan and Back" for ALL the dirty details...

4. as reported, complete with spin

WASHINGTON - After years of delay caused by inadequate intelligence, the U.S. government decided just one day before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that it would try to overthrow the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan if a diplomatic push to expel Osama bin Laden from the country failed, the independent panel investigating the attacks reported Tuesday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4585010

5. It is true and really pisses off Bob 'bombs away' Kerrey...

He had been an advocate for bombing the hell out of Afghanistan to rid it of the Al-Qaida training camps. Of course he did not know at the time that the bush* diplomacy with the Taliban was all about OIL.

He also said something very stupid in that interview. He encouraged whoever appeared to be the loser to concede the election quickly with no litigation. He is a total fool.

6. Actually, no, transcript reveals he was referring to after inauguration

Sorry, I don't have a link, but it was on an earlier thread. Fortunately neither scenario is something to be concerned about *knock on wood*

Kerrey can be a loose cannon at times. He maybe could word his arguments a little more artfully.

7. that isn't the way I heard it...

but I may be wrong. Even so it would not be the first stupid thing he has said. Why couldn't we have a real advocate for the Democratic party on these shitty cable shows today?
