I will presume to speak for brees,since we discussed this at the time. He is sick of the policies pursued with respect to Iraq, which seem futile, and have been (indirectly) responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children, due to the difficulty of obtaining adequate food and medicine, and the deterioration of infrastructure affecting public health. In addition, he has found the bombing raids indiscriminate....In the case of Kosovo, although he naturally had sympathy with the Albanians, he considered the Administration to have exacerbated the harm in their circumstances, and to have made civilians suffer (in Serbia) for the depredations of a dictatorship....He wonders why we intervened so clumsily in Kosovo, and yet stood by, despite warnings of impending slaughter, in Rwanda/Burundi.....Interestingly, the only time brees and I had much tension between us was over my contention that NATO had to clean up its mess in Kosovo,rather than suddenly pull out......
