"Come on. You’re not Bob Woodward."

George Packer:

When I interviewed Richard Armitage a few months ago, he told me that at the White House there is, even now, “agnosticism about the size of the problem.” I asked him how anyone could fail to know. “Come on,” Armitage growled.You’re not Bob Woodward. Secretary Powell told the President and I told the President—personally in front of his crowd—two years ago that we were not winning. . . . It was not filtered. We had plenty of information.”


Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but isn't Armitage saying that Packer isn't a clueless fuck?
