When you toss in Halliburton doing business with Iran while Cheney was CEO, the number of people now in the Administration were personally involved of the very criminal acts they used to argue against trade restrictions as alternatives to war on the grounds “those methods don’t work“, is more than a little troubling.

Add to that the number of people in this Administration that knowingly broke the law and did business with the same villains they now demagogue is obscene.

She did the same type of job for them, that she has done to the US. This woman champions herself as an intellectual to the right-wing, who proudly parade her around to show how an accomplished African-American recognizes that should align herself with people who celebrate achievements. The same people, who would not bother running over her in the road if she fell in front of their car, now embrace her as one of their own. Talk about self-hated. She has used these people because they needed a token to put up there to validate their benevolence and goodwill toward the minorities, knowing full well this is what they do, while overlooking the fact that she has been incompetent as George Bush in every job she has held. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you sell your soul to be accepted by people who use you to hide their racism. Its truly tragic. Why should anyone be surprised by Con-doche Rice.

Hold the Chevron board of directors, the institutional investors, mutual fund investors (did your $'s go here) and their shareholders all responsible. Let them know how you feel about their $'s killing American service people, and then ask them if they realize that they have blood on their hands. If they get the message, they'll respond.

It being her job to either correct them, or as we have learned is more likely, cover them up. Any wonder she is so good at obfuscation, distortion and denial? Criminal activity.

It permeates every single facet of this administration and everyone involved with them. It is time for someone, anyone, to look into Cheney's secret meeting with these traitors NOW. A federal court ruled it could be kept secret, but I think this changes things and it must be revisited. Don't even tell me Dick didn't know about this. Chevron will avoid criminal charges by paying a $25 million dollar fine. We all know what a pittance that is for the oil companies. Is that what we do with war profiteering traitors now? Our Secretary of State is a criminal! And like every other Bushie, she is going to get away with it. I don’t know how to deal with the corruption any more.

These goons throwing 'treason' and 'traitor' around should point their hostility toward those that instigated the actions. Saddam's corruption is often sited as justification for the means to the end, and there's evidence such as this out there showing support for him before the US invasion by those who ochestrated the effort. There is no evidence of any Iraq-Al Queda ties or evidence of involvement in Niger to develop weapons, but there is evidence of support by those who could profit from an invasion.
