Poe seeks meeting with Rice on KBR rape case.
Frustrated with “unacceptable” written responses from the State Department regarding the gang rape in Iraq of one his constituents, Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday asking her to “answer questions in person” about the high-profile case involving military contractor KBR. Declining to comment further about whether Rice would actually meet with Poe, State spokesperson Nicole Thompson only said “the secretary’s office will respond to the congressman.”

Why does Ted Poe hate America?
January 30th, 2008 at 12:41 pmCorporations have the right to rape US citizens and to steal their money.
Bush is Globocorp.

January 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pmRice will comment: I think it would only be rape if it was me.
Oh wait that was the thread below this, or not.

January 30th, 2008 at 12:47 pmThat ain’t happening…
January 30th, 2008 at 12:49 pmRice will make the usual WH response: “The matter is currently a legal matter and I cannot comment or make statements which might prejudice the investigation”.
January 30th, 2008 at 12:52 pmSorry Mr. Poe, but you are attempting to put Condi and accountability in the same sentence. Ice cube’s chance in hell, Pal.
January 30th, 2008 at 12:53 pmDeclining to comment further about whether Rice would actually meet with Poe, State spokesperson Nicole Thompson only said “the secretary’s office will respond to the congressman.â€
————————————————–
If there really IS going to be some kind of response from Condi, I predict it will be “go away!”
January 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pmLet me get this straight. Poe is a Republican. From Texas.
Normally, Republicans who attempt to make ANY kind of waves with this administration are “invited” to the White House, after which they recant all earlier complaints and swear undying support for the administration.
Perhaps in Poe we have found an actual Republican who can’t be blackmailed?
January 30th, 2008 at 1:00 pmIt sure seems unlikely, considering how corrupt Republicans are these days… But maybe this will be an exception. I sure hope so.
January 30th, 2008 at 1:03 pmSomeone has to stand up for this woman. It would be an insult to our own way of life to sweep this under the carpet. What kind of pussy assed cowards would perp this kind of a crime?
January 30th, 2008 at 1:04 pmOh yeah, I almost forgot! Screw you!
Condi “I may be gay” Rice
January 30th, 2008 at 1:08 pmIf he thinks he will get an up or down answer for Condi Rice he needs to think again. I have NEVER heard this woman give a straight answer about anything.
January 30th, 2008 at 1:22 pmCondi’s official response to Rep. Poe, “Go Cheney yourself!”
January 30th, 2008 at 1:23 pmApparently the only thing this “diplomat” does in person is shoe shopping.
Kinda like when Kookchinich calls for impeachment doncha think.

Do you ever make sense? Maybe in your daily life there is some episode you can relate in which something you said made any sense at all. Like, “Please pass the salt.”
January 30th, 2008 at 1:34 pmGin is leading the contingency that will go to VT & attack the city council for charging Cheney & Bush with war crimes…how dare they speak the truth!
Condi will stutter her way through this with her usual nonsensical remarks that need a translator, voice coach & fashion model to interpret. Then she’ll go & buy new shoes for her & her partner.
Any real response will involve ‘not commenting while an investigation is underway’.
Condi, this involves rape, not obscure policy yet to be defined.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:05 pmWhat a sad State!
January 30th, 2008 at 2:34 pmThe GOP: Because if corporations cannot rape its employees, then we have truly lost our civil liberties…
disgusting as hell…
January 30th, 2008 at 3:01 pmThere is none, because it’s a corporation involved. Apparently they think that corporations are saintly entities who patriotically help our country. They think that the woman must be lying and that it’s a part of a vast left-wing conspiracy to embarrass Bush.
