WOW! Condi's offering her opinion on Iraq in a "Hardball" exclusive. WOW!
She's talkin' about how they no longer have a brutal dictator who used weapons of mass destruction and there are no longer thousands of unmarked graves. WOW! Those 'racky people are SO MUCH BETTER OFF today than they were before we OCCUPIED them! And after all, we HAD to do it!

I'm learning SO MUCH from Madame Secretary!

Did I say WOW???

:grouphug:

Watch the repeat in two hours if you missed it. It's a real Crock-o-Condi.

:evilgrin:

1. I have the noise on in the background, but she sounds like
she's saying blah blah blah. I think my brain immediately turns her off/tunes her out.

2. historical! hysterical. My ass, condi.
what the world sees as abject, utter and complete failure, she describes as progress.

she must be on meds, though. nowhere as fragile. What are those beta-blocker drugs that nervous public speakers sometimes use?

10. She's talking about Castro now...
...and what she's saying could be interchangeable with what she said about Saddam five minutes ago ("Brutal disctator, the Cuban people deserve democracy, etc).

I'll say one thing for her...she's well-rehearsed.

:patriot:

3. See, Condi says things look bad now. But this is a "snapshot"
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 04:16 PM by joemurphy
We need to see it the way she sees it - as part of a "broad historical perspective". Feel better?

We should view it like the Tralfamadorians from "Slaughterhouse Five" -- who could see the present, past, and future simultaneously. If things are bad now, we just need to look forward or backward and say, as they do:

"So it goes."

Thanks, Condi (whose fingers are on the pulse of "history")

4. August 6, 2001 Briefing
entitled, "Bin Laden determined to attack United States"

Condi said that report was "historical" in nature also......

this woman has a one-track mind.....

5. Condoho needs to do her job or resign. All these talk show appearances
just tell me that she has no intention of doing anything about the destruction of Lebanon. She is one cruel and heartless and ugly bitch!

to the Iraqi people...

11. I really wish one of the MSM shills would ask her, and the rest of...
...the members of the Bush Cabal war criminals, if they have made plans to flee the U.S. after they leave office and, if so, to what country.

She and all the rest of them, should be taken to The Hague for their War Crimes trials.

12. I watched with rapt fascination .......
..... as she dusted off every old bullshit talking point they ever put out there.

She's increasingly reptillian.

I liked her not a whit way back when.

I like her less now.

But one word kept dancing in my head.

Along with one adjective.

Fucking L I A R

13. I was particularly impressed with her description of Iraq as
experiencing sectarian differences. Gregory called her on it but she stuck with that tepid description.

16. I'm sure Matthews was all over her, right?
I mean, as against the war from the beginning (and even before) as he now says he was, I'm sure he fed those bullshit talking points right back to Dr. Rice, right? He probably barely gave her room to breathe, he was so all over that nonsense, right? I mean, as staunchly opposed to the Iraq war as Tweety would like people to think he is, he didn't put up with that tripe for one second, right?

Right?

Ooo, listen, crickets!

17. THE SAME IDIOCY AS IRAQ. She believe that the regular
Lebanese army will tame Hezballoh because the Lebanese people do not like Hezballoh. This will make it all turn out peachy. Keep the faith. :evilfrown:

18. Should we "Stay the course?"
or maybe "Stand down, when they stand up?" I'm hanging on your every word Madame Secretary!
