Condoleezza Rice warns against ring of fire
Condoleezza Rice warns against ring of fire
AP/AAP
16mar06

ISLAMIC militants would turn South-East Asia into "a ring of fire" unless they are actively confronted, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned yesterday, just hours before she was to touch down in Australia.

Dr Rice, wrapping up a two-day trip to Indonesia, said al-Qaida-linked terrorist groups blamed for a series of bloody attacks in recent years were trying to destroy the multi-ethnic region's tradition of tolerance.

She was due to arrive in Sydney overnight for three days of regional security talks with Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and Japanese counterpart Taro Aso.

Terrorism, the Iraq war, the North Korean nuclear crisis and China's role are expected to be on the agenda.

Walk The Line twice and watched the director's cut. I read on wikipedia that he said.."Let's just say I didn't vote for mr bush and leave it at that"..

Johnny wore black for the downtrodden.

8. She has NOTHING in her brain ...
they just wind her up with a key in the back ... which appears to be rusty if one judges by her stiff artificial movements. Her speech pattern ... pure robot! Ugh!

I can't help but wonder how things would be if we at least had an educated black woman as Secretary of State.

16. Indonesia and 'tolerance'
Not well associated. For example there is the small matter of the island of Timor, and of course the rather impressive massacre of Indonesians that accompanied the coup that brought Indonesia's US blessed military fascist regime to power.

Timor related war crimes:

17. Rice helped usher in a new era for Al-Qaida in Iraq.
NO ONE will ever believe anything from this harpy ever again. Just like Powell, Rice has zero credibility with the world.

19. Condi, how could you be any more wrong? Let's recap...
It's the leaning tower of Pisa, not pizza.

We don't get French benefits;

Jimmy Dean makes sausage, and James Dean was an actor;

Iraq had no WMDs.

21. Well, Condi, if you idiotic fools hadn't attacked Iraq without
provocation we would not be in this position.

And the fact is, you and your neocon pals have frivolously squandered all of our resources...y'all have reduced the once mighty US to barking dog with only a few teeth left in it's mouth.

Want some practical advice? Pull out of Iraq NOW and stop draining our resources, or you will destroy our nation once and for all.

Or is this your plan?

Because it sure looks like you, Bush, and the rest of you fascist neocons are traitors committed to destroying America.

44. if they hadn't attacked iraq, the holes in their 911 story
would have become obvious sooner...remember 'bush knew'? and once people noticed that bush had abetted 911 at the least, they surely notice he never was elected in 2k.....iow, the gopigs playing america like a fiddle....and they still doing it.

42. Why would she warn against it? For heaven's sakes, Contradicta helped
CREATE it.

Let's all remember, shall we, who won the tug-of-war with rummy for the job of "coordinator of postwar Iraq" - it was that cretin Contradicta. The only thing she knows about coordinating anything involves whatever goes with her Ferragamo shoes.
