She should have been at last Tuesday’s congressional hearing, representing the State Dept.

Where’s Condi?

If we don’t blow up this clandestine army of jackals, they will be trolling back here looking for “dissidents” and other enemies of the BushCo State.

The most incompetent woman to have ever been a Sec. of State in the history of the US.

Goes hand in hand with her boss, G.W., the most incompetent man ever in the Whitehouse.

Excellent question, Candyce. What’s the hold?

And he bunks with Sixty-Grit Kate. That alone should entitle him to a medal for duty above and beyond the call.

the White House originally installed Jim O’Beirne at the relevant evaluation desk in the Department of Defense. O’Beirne proved to be a classic Bush villain, who judged applicants not on their Arabic skills or their relevant expertise but on their Republican bona fides; he sent a twenty-four-year-old who had never worked in finance to manage the reopening of the Iraqi stock exchange, and appointed a recent graduate of an evangelical university for home-schooled kids who had no accounting experience to manage Iraq’s $13 billion budget. James K. Haveman, who had served as Michigan’s community-health director under a GOP governor, was put in charge of rehabilitating Iraq’s health-care system and decided that what this war-ravaged, malnourished, sanitation-deficient country most urgently needed was . . . an anti-smoking campaign.

Because Bush will need his private army when he declares a “state of emergency” and cancels the 2008 election.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice ordered the implementation of three steps to bolster the accountability of private security firms in Iraq, including the Blackwater USA.

Blackwater is 100% successful if you understand that their mission is chaos. For that matter, Bush is 100% successful too. You have to understand that absolute instability is the main plank in the NeoCon foreign policy platform. When you create utter chaos you can do what you want. You can steal billions and there is no accountability. You can move drugs, weapons, and cash in and out of the country because no one is in control or watching the store. But ultimately, while in the throes of economic and social Shock-N-Awe, you can completely privatize a country — its people and all of its resources.

If we’d only change our collective criteria for viewing the situation, we’d all understand how awesomely successful it all is. If those damn Iraqis would just sign that oil agreement, we could call it a day and go home. The pending oil agreement means that 70% of the oil profits belong to multi-nationals for the next 30 years I believe. See that’s the prize.

Conventional wisdom says this is a mission towards democracy and it’s a failure. In reality it’s a mission towards corporate aggrandizement and it’s a success. For corporations the best part of the deal is its being funded with other people’s money – US tax dollars – and other people’s blood – US military. They have nothing at stake; there is no down side other than perhaps not getting the best possible deal on that oil and other aspects of the future Iraq economy and resources.
