Condisleeza Rice a leader to be admired?
A man I met recently whom I suspect is a recently reformed freeper is working on his Masters and is taking a class on stratigic leadership. Well, he kinda blew me away last night when he told me that he wanted to write a paper on Condi Rice or John Engler. He said they were two people he admired... can you believe it?

So I was thinking that his research shouldn't be all one sided and I'd like to enlighten him on at least Ms Rices background and political views. Is anyone aware of any links to articles regarding Ms Rice that would highlight her leadership skills?

2. Gawd. John Engler? We in Michigan know better.
They are both elitists of the first degree. John Engler? You wrecked my day by mentioning his name.

10. I know.. we're in Michigan too
from speaking with him, apparently he admires Engler mostly for changing residency rules for police and fire in the city of Detroit.

3. 911 commission report
would be worth a look see. Her testimony to congress borders on a vaudevillian routine.

4. Rice has never had to scrutinized as she would if she ever attempts
to get elected to anything. People just don't pay any attention to her. Why the hell do you think Laura Bush gets ratings of almost 90%. Nobody gives a shit. Let Rice run for office (I pray she runs for Pres) and she will take a vicious beating while the people have to now pay attention.

5. Condoleezza Rice
Condoleezza Rice

“You can’t allow somebody to commit the crime before you detain them, because if they commit the crime, thousands of innocent people die,” Condoleezza Rice

13. Condasleeza Rice.
notadmblnd.

So your friend is gonna write a paper on Condaseeza Huh ?

I could take this ONE of two ways.

First he's gonna suck up big time, and try to ingratiate himself with the neocons, thus hoping some of the opportunities and gravy will come his way as a result.

Or secondly, he's gonna send her up big time.

If the second, he's got my utmost support, and if the first, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

YEAH, YEAH, I know, a bit harsh, but then try telling all the people so far who have lost their lives as a result of the lies emanating from the esteemed Condasleeza's mouth, together with her cohorts.

Have just spent 5 minutes on Google researching the Sleeze and here's what I can come up with in 5 mins,

Rice calls war part of post-9/11 plan

There are literally thousands of leads at Google for this sleeze, you could probably make it a lifetimes task to do a paper on her, specially if you were gonna be HONEST and unbiased.
Though I suspect that will never happen in the U.S.

14. Thanks for the links
he's just another one of those uninformed sheeple that has recently begun to see the light. That's why I want to make sure he gets the entire picture. I'm pretty sure his admiration will turn to disdain if I can put some of the ugly truth in his face.

again, thanks

15. I Read Her Dissertation
After that, i couldn't admire anything about her. The work is pedestrian, not wholly original, and certainly underwhelming in its analysis.

It was, obviously, enough to get her a Ph.D., but there's nothing admirable about her, her work, or what she knows.

17. Do we admire the puppet or the puppeteer?
Condi is still in her job only for the same reason the rest of the * Administration is: tame mass media that are complicit in their crimes.
