The protests will largely be ignored by American media and completely ignored by the Bush administration. Bush and his cronies have regularly shown their disdain for the opinions of the masses. It’s all part of the autocracy.
March 27th, 2006 at 10:28 amThey should meet her here…
March 27th, 2006 at 10:28 amGood, Expressing oneself is Democracy in action.
So, If I understand the Current meme: *IF* reported in the press, it’s part of the “liberal Bias”??
March 27th, 2006 at 10:33 amRice is a bum who should have continued her (misguided) focus on Russia as opposed to newly taking up the Neocon worldview.
What a LOSER!
How could anyone of her age and stature be so lost?
March 27th, 2006 at 10:35 amRice is an oddball. Fluent in several languages, an accomplished pianist, six-year provost at Stanford, professor of political science, Phi Beta Kappa, specialist in European and Soviet affairs, someone who has experienced the wonderful diversity this world has to offer, and #1 ass kisser to the most narrow minded president I’ll see in my lifetime.
March 27th, 2006 at 10:52 amGod of God’s, Rice isn’t lost she’s right where she want’s to be surrounded by the extreme reich wing, predominately old, fat, no neck, soft hands, bloated bodies and nearly always white men with deep pockets connected to Saudi oil and big business. She is a lier, whore and spokes person to her god Bush and money……Rice is very intelegent but does not use her gifts for good only lies and evil….I hope she spends her viset locked in rooms looking out windows at the demonstrators. Like Bush, none of this administration is liked in the world. They are in a way, prisoners.. ….Blessings

COMMENT/OPINION
If democracy is the goal of American policy in Iraq, as President Bush repeatedly says it is – not eliminating WMD, not controlling Middle East oil, not removing a sadistic dictator guilty of genocide – then with the Sunni walkout from government and Kurdish intransigence over federalism and Kirkuk, that policy is nearing breakdown. But democracy was always only an after-thought, and anyway never really on offer in the first place.
Before the US proconsul Paul Bremer left Baghdad, he enacted 100 orders as chief of the occupation authority in Iraq. Perhaps the most infamous was Order 39 which decreed that 200 Iraqi state companies would be privatised, that foreign companies could have complete control of Iraqi banks, factories and mines, and that these companies could transfer all of their profits out of Iraq. The so-called ‘reconstruction’ of the country amounts in effect to wholesale privatisation of the economy and is little short of economic colonisation.
These laws will not be reversed while 140,000 US troops remain in the country, or a network of US military bases which is planned to be retained in Iraq for a much longer period. Aid for rebuilding the electricity and water services, the oil industry, and the legal and security systems will reside with the US embassy for many years to come.
If all the 100 Orders are taken together, they set the overall legal framework for overriding foreign exploitation of Iraq’s domestic market. They cover almost all facets of the economy, including Iraq’s trading regime, the mandate of the Central Bank, and regulations governing trade union activities. Collectively, they lay down the foundations for the real US objective in Iraq, apart from keeping control of the oil supply, namely the imposition of a neo-liberal capitalist economy controlled and run by US transnational corporations.
But what is remarkable about these laws is not only their overall degree of control, but their far-reaching application. Order 81, for example, has the status of binding law over ‘patent industrial design, undisclosed information, integrated circuits and plant variety’ – a degree of detailed supervision normally associated with a Soviet command and control economy. While historically the Iraqi constitution prohibited private ownership of biological resources, the new US-imposed patent law introduces a system of monopoly rights over seeds. This is virtually a takeover of Iraqi agriculture.

Condi is nothing more than a Member of the CapiComs.
Look at the Above. Thats not Democracy. Thats ‘Privitisation’
Hello?
March 27th, 2006 at 10:58 amOkay Mother and Fathers who have Lost Sons to this Madness. You Wish to Know what Nol Kidre Is?
That Means Noble Lie.
Your Sons and Daughters will die in a War, not for Freedom, but the Continuation of the Economic Powerhouse up to and including War.
Funny that during the Depression Big Business, Robber Barons, Cared not about the People, they were simply to be used for profit. As Today.
Why Then Should the People Care about the ‘Economic Security’ of Bush and Pioneers Friends enough to fight their Economic Colonisation Wars?
If Your Foolish enough to Join, then your Foolish enough to die for Money. And thats What Patriotism in America has come, sadly, to mean.
March 27th, 2006 at 11:11 am#7 – Oprah knows what Rice is.
March 27th, 2006 at 11:37 amI only wish I could join in. Connie is a shadow of George Bush. But at lease we know what the Bush Family thinks of her as Barbara Bush let African Americans know it’s still those good old slavery days. Connie entertains the family at dinner and is used as a front for their racis attitudes when George is out of office what will her job be.
March 27th, 2006 at 11:41 ammaybe they might need a good housekeeper on what ever the master wants. Well at lease her book will be a good one that of a moderan updated slave in the Bush family plantation. Who would have known this would still be going on in 2006. I guess it was easy for the Bush family as Connie said she knew nothing about civil rights or the speech Dr. King gave. She just accepted her role as house African American or maybe she doesn’t know her roots what ever she’s still a slave in the eyes of the Bush family.
GOOD!
GIVE THE TOOTH FAIRY AN EARFUL !!!!
March 27th, 2006 at 11:54 amPitchforks, hay and a stake (not steak!). Add tar and feathers and they can have fried Rice.
