(In eight pages of white noise, and I do mean white, he touches on virtually every part of the world except for Latin America. Why? Because: Samuel Berger is essentially in agreement with the anti-democracy policies of the Bush and Otto Reich gang in Latin America: there's no Bush policy he sees worthy of critique there.)

After all, Otto Reich and Roger Noriega are merely carrying out, with greater passion, policies architected by Sandy Berger.

In 2000, Samuel Berger brought us Plan Colombia, the ongoing, largest, atrocity and war crime in this hemisphere:

Briefing reporters on President Clinton's visit to Colombia next week, White House National Security Adviser Sandy Berger rejected the notion the United States is heading for a Vietnam-style U-S involvement
in Colombia:

"You should learn from what happened before. But the fact is this is nothing similar what-so-ever. We're talking about a few hundred American people going to train some Colombian army battalions - vetting them for human rights, training them in human rights as well - who will have a greater capability to provide security for the Colombian national police when they go in to try to destroy crops. That is the parameters of our undertaking."

Of course, four years later, it's already evident that he lied through his teeth on that one.

Berger also made asses of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and various conscientious members of Congress, who believed his bullshit about a "human rights clause" attached to Plan Colombia. As the same article states, they were betrayed in no time at all…

President Clinton late Tuesday invoked national security considerations to waive human rights conditions set by Congress for the aid package though Mr. Berger insisted President Pastrana is committed to human rights reform in the military and will fulfill the U-S terms over time.

Mr. Senator: How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

Here are some similar Sandy-isms.

Hey, Berger fooled y'all once. If he fools you again… you're the fools. Massacres... blood... hands... yada yada yada, kids.

And if you think the war criminals in the narco-government of Colombia don't have continuing faith in Sandy Berger (and Rand Beers), read this recent report from Colombia Week:

Interviewed by the Bogotá daily El Tiempo, Colombian Ambassador to the United States Luis Alberto Moreno said a Democratic presidential victory would not jeopardize support for Plan Colombia or a trade pact. “John Kerry’s main foreign policy advisors, Rand Beers and Sandy Berger, know the situation perfectly well,” Moreno said. “Kerry has always voted in favor of Colombia when the issue has come up before Congress.”

Not to mention, Berger was also the go-to guy in Washington for the vicious dictator of Peru, Alberto Fujimori (and his sidekick Vladimiro Montesinos).

The ever astute Arianna Huffington has noted that Sandy Berger is "history impaired."

Sandy Berger, the president’s history-impaired national security adviser, dismissed the parallels being drawn between Colombia and Vietnam -- which also began with the deployment of a few military advisers and more than a few million dollars in military aid.  But Vietnam is not the only part of our past that should be remembered.  As recently as March 1999, Clinton apologized to the people of Guatemala for America’s involvement in that country’s civil war.  He now proceeds to repeat that mistake.

The evidence amassed by human-rights groups overwhelmingly shows the Colombian military continues to allow its paramilitary allies to massacre hundreds of unarmed civilians each year.  And only two weeks ago, the army itself was responsible for an attack that killed six elementary school children on a hiking trip...

"I don’t know if President Clinton enjoyed apologizing to the people of Guatemala," Carlos M.  Salinas of Amnesty International USA told me, "but he’s all but guaranteeing that some future U.S.  president will have to apologize to the Colombian people for the dirty little war we’re about to escalate."

More Sandy Berger lies about Plan Colombia.

Not content to be pimp for narco-regimes in Colombia and Peru, Berger played special favorites with Mexican ruler Ernesto Zedillo, aka "the Butcher of Acteal."

"President Zedillo is clearly trying to establish a clean government and respect for the rule of law," Sandy Berger, the president's national security adviser, told reporters.

He said Mexico is confronting its problem of government corruption "with remarkable candor."

"Indeed, much of what we know and much of what troubles us about the extent of corruption in the Mexican law-enforcement effort has emerged from Mexico's own efforts to uproot it," Berger said.  "And that's something we need to acknowledge and encourage."

(This, related to that famous 1999 Valentine's weekend US-Mexico presidential summit held on the property of publicly accused narco-trafficker, Roberto Hernandez Ramirez. Did Berger scout that location? Or was it Robert Rubin, plotting his own payday? Here's more, and still more of Berger's archived history of pimping for narcos.)

Yup, pass the KY indeed… he would turn the job of Secretary of State into that of Secretary of the Narco-State.

Then again, that would at least be an honest title for what that department has become during recent administrations of both parties.

Is that what John Kerry wants his foreign policy legacy to be, should he get a chance at having one?
