I'm sorry, but I am just LIVID regarding Condi's remarks!!

[Poiuyt]

"This war came to us, not the other way around."

How can she sleep at night spewing this kind of bullshit? Will anyone call her out on this? Is there anyone in the media who isn't afraid to bring this up, or do they think we don't care? Will any Democrats in Congress talk about this? It is such a blatant lie!

Nobody in the Bush Administration has any ethics, so I shouldn't be too surprised. But I can't stand the thought that no one is challenging them on the Iraq war, and how Bush wanted to do it for his own reasons that have nothing to do with national security. I can't believe that everyone is blind to what is going on.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

[Jacobin]

1. 1984

[bahrbearian]

2. Thanks for Ranting...I wish I had a way with words,

[DanCa]

3. Ditto

I really dont understand what the public sees in her or any of the gop goon squad.

[mwb970]

27. She always sounds like she's about to cry.

Either that, or she's always nervous. What a waste.

[slor]

4. No need to be sorry...

between her fool ass comments and the chimp/chump insulting FDR, while playing nice-nice to a man that boils people, it has left me beside myself in rage. And our media is hell-bent on underreporting all of it, as well as the MEMO! Fuck 'em all!

[tyedyeto]

5. She actually said that?

I can't believe the Senate actually voted to confirm her.

Where are the WMDs she kept talking about? Where is the proof that Saddam had anything whatsoever to do with 9/11?

Nothing! Nada. Zilch.

So, how does she get off saying this? What a crock of shit!

Edit cuz I left out a word and didn't proof it.

[spanone]

6. The 'truth' took a backseat with bushco from the beginning.

I've been livid for four and a half years.

[autorank]

7. She's a "twisted sister" ... remember her comments on "planes as weapons"

Q: How do you tell Condi is lying?
A: Her lips are moving.

[n2mark]

8. There was not much ranting here at DU regarding her remarks either.

I've been waiting for rants, but nothing much from DU. Just a few, or did I miss them?

[Cha]

14. My rant..

9. Twisting the truth is the BushCo way....

...and Condi has been doing it for George since day one...

A Plague of Toadies

WASHINGTON

I went to see the magical "Pericles" at the Shakespeare Theater the other night. In ancient Greece, the prince of Tyre tires of all the yes men around him. He chooses to trust the one courtier who intrepidly tells him: "They do abuse the king that flatter him. ... Whereas reproof, obedient and in order, fits kings, as they are men, for they may err."

Not flatter the king? Listen to dissenting viewpoints? Rulers who admit they've erred?

It's all so B.C. (Before Cheney).

Now, in the 21st-century reign of King George II, flattery is mandatory, dissent is forbidden, and erring without admitting error is the best way to get ahead. President Bush is purging the naysayers who tried to temper crusted-nut-bar Dick Cheney and the neocon crazies on Iraq.

First, faith trumped facts. Now, loyalty trumps competence. W., who was the loyalty enforcer for his father's administration, is now the loyalty enforcer for his own.

<snip>

Condi Rice and Stephen Hadley did not do their jobs before 9/11 in coordinating the fight against Al Qaeda, and they did not do their jobs after 9/11 in preventing the debacle in Iraq. They not only suppressed evidence Americans needed to know that would have debunked the neocons' hyped-up case for invading Iraq; they helped shovel hooey into the president's speeches.

Dr. Rice pitched in to help Dr. No whip up that imaginary mushroom cloud. Condi's life story may be inspirational. But the way she got the State Department job is not. Not only are the Bush officials who failed to protect the country and misled us into war not losing their jobs. They're getting promoted.

[Cha]

10. I was absolutely "LIVID",

myself! The words just flew out of my keybroad condemming what that hag had to say!

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Really? She said that?

Wow. That achieves a new level of unmitigated bullshit, even for her.

[democrank]

12. You`re sorry?????

Condi Rice is the one who should be sorry. "The war came to us" is a prime example of her unending BS. Right. Saddam flew a plane into one of the twin towers. Good grief. Will these people ever tell it like it is?

[jojo54]

13. And she won't even get a "slap" on the wrist either cause

Bushco is STILL trying to convince the 55, 56% of Americans who no longer believe, or never believed that Hussein had anything to do with 9/11.

[MissMarple]

15. Well, she had no idea planes would attack the U.S.

I googled "We had no idea" Condoleeza Rice. You should try it. :evilgrin:


"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile," said national security adviser Condoleeza Rice on May 16, 2002. "

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/17/eveningnews/main589137.shtml

I watched her on television saying that. My jaw literally dropped. I guess that's when I knew things were worse than I ever thought possible. These are deluded people.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

16. Where did she say this?

How does anyone let her get away with that bullshit?

I am LIVID right with you................

[Jacobin]

17. While she was IN IRAQ

[Poiuyt]

18. Here's the link:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

20. Thank you

I don't believe in afterlife, but I do believe in what my old Italian grandmother always said: "You spit up in the air, it lands in your face."

Strange. I cannot think of anything vile enough to wish upon that flagrant, lying hag.

How the FUCK do they get away with this? HOW????

[gratuitous]

19. Don't be sorry unless you're Stanford University

The self-styled Harvard of the West should be incredibly ashamed that she was ever on their faculty. If brains were money and the Pacific Ocean cost a penny, "Dr." Rice couldn't afford to buy a glass of sea water.

[VOX]

21. Straight out of Orwell: "War is peace."

It isn't the first time that Condi had said something outrageous. But sadly, she does get a pass from just about everyone. :grr:

[Democracy White]

22. I am livid too

But that's the BushCo propaganda mill for you.
I can't imagine the looks on the Iraqi diplomats' faces when she said that.

Iraqis(thinking): Huh? What do you mean it came to you?! You brought the war to us you stupid bitch!"

[countingbluecars]

23. Lying is rewarded in this administration.

How can so many people be so blind! It's infuriating.

[Moosepoop]

24. And of course SHE got body armor!!

CNN mentioned the "heavy security" that surrounds her trip, and the fact that she wore body armor while on the helicopter ride this morning. The body armor that's in short supply for the soldiers there.

[peacetalksforall]

25. No female character in life or fiction comes close to her un her role as

QUEEN OF LIARS!

She is one sick slimey, squirming being.

Are you sure she has a doctorate?
Are you sure she plays the piano?
Are you sure she is even a female?

I don't believe anything from her or about her.

[Disturbed]

26. Yet another problem with the Dems in Congress.

They do not immediatly challenge the blatant lies by the Bush Fascists.

Where are the top Dems on the UK memo?

Now this outrageous BULLSHIT!!!

[Gloria]

29. The Dems in Congress, Levin in particular, is making noises

already about enabling a pullout just in time for the next election....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3662610

[Gloria]

28. Worse..the media will play this over and over and you won't hear

an intrepid reporter CORRECT or QUESTION this "misstatement"....

[leesa]

30. She's a believer. Her faith in this mission cannot be shaken.

After all, they are going for the Big Banana and they have committed so many crimes already...what choice does she have but to spew the BS?

[Disturbed]

31. She does have a choice.

She could refrain from blatantly lying.

[mwb970]

33. No, apparently she can't. (n/t)

[sundancekid]

32. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight -- war came to us EXACTLY how the busheviks had

it all signed, sealed, and ready to be delivered from summer 2002 ... the very thought of this cowdung really smarts like this:
:hurts:

[WFF]

34. She also equated her visit with 9/11

"The absence of freedom in the Middle East -- the freedom deficit -- is what produced the ideology of hatred that allowed them to fly airplanes into a building on a fine September day."

I don't see how voting in Iraq would have made a difference.
