23. "on the other hand ... I ignored the opinion of a former Repub Secretary of State

so that I just stuck with my own prejudices".

Fuck, this man makes Dubya look like a nuanced foreign policy operator who was eager to get the best of all advice and bring peace. How else can you interpret a long diatribe against all Palestinians, which then ends up with:

On the other hand, I got a call from a former secretary of state. I won't mention which one it was, but this individual said to me, you know, I think there's a prospect for a settlement between the Palestinians and the Israelis after the Palestinian elections. I said, "Really?" And, you know, his answer was, "Yes, I think there's some prospect." And I didn't delve into it.

So a former secretary of state, who we will presume was a Republican, since they called Romney, thinks a settlement is possible, and Romney isn't even interested?
