Rice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict.

Rice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict.
When she should be traveling abroad to work with allies to deal with the ongoing fallout from Russia’s invasion of Georgia, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has instead been “noticeably absent.” AFP reports she is busy with other plans:
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has also been noticeably absent on the diplomatic scene, having failed to interrupt her holidays to fly to Tbilisi in support of the Georgian government.
Instead senior State Department official, Matthew Bryza, who oversees the Caucasus region was sent, two days later than planned, to join a joint EU-US mediation effort to win a ceasefire.
State Department spokesman Robert Wood said Rice made more than 90 calls this weekend to discuss the situation in Georgia.

I think everyone would be better off if she just continues to shop for shoes.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pmRice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict.
This is the highly touted dummy who the Chimpy administration and the GOP backers claimed was an “expert” on all things having to do with Russia ?
Yeah , let’s hear again how this dope might be McDepends’ VP choice……..
August 11th, 2008 at 7:05 pmKinda like in 2001 when she and others got a memo saying “BinLaden determined to strike within the United States”…
August 11th, 2008 at 7:08 pmCondoleeza isn’t going anywhere near Tbilisi with the Ruskies throwing ordinance around. Neocons are hard-wired to run away from actual combat.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:09 pmWe and the world are always better off when SecOfShoes is not on duty; she causes much less damage that way.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:11 pmWhile Condi buys expensive shoes somewhere in the world, Dick Cheney says “Russian aggression must not go unanswered.”
Will Cheney attack some Russian built nuclear reactors, that happen to be located in Iran?
Bush/Cheney may sacrifice the Georgian President for the opportunity to conduct regime change in Iran. It’s 3:00am and the Bush RISK game continues.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:11 pmWhy is she hiding exactly.? Is she pregnant or something.? LOL…Now that would be an imaculate deception..LOL…P. B. & J

August 11th, 2008 at 7:15 pm“Rice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict.”
Yeah, I guess it is hard work for Girlfriday Rice to cancel her shoe shopping spree and manicure/pedicure appointment. This is nothing new with Rice: putting off urgent issues while concentrating on her Rice’s own personal plans. If she wasn’t concern for the Katrina victims while they were pleading for help while she went shoe shopping in NY, do you really think that she is all that concern for the Georgian conflict?
“Rice made more than 90 calls this weekend to discuss the situation in Georgia.” 90 calls? And she did all the phone calling? Yeah, right. Okay. I’ll believe that when pigs fly.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:17 pmThe substance of Condi’s “90″ phone calls
*ring*ring*ring*
State Department Robert Wood speaking…
Condi: Robert, this is Condi…
August 11th, 2008 at 7:18 pmRobert: Hi, Condi!
Condi: Robert has Matthew left for Georgia yet?
Robert: Yes he did Condi, his STA is for 4 am…
Condi: Damn it!
Robert: Wha, whats wrong Condi is there a problem?
Condi: Yes Robert, you pasty white assed honkey there is a problem! I specifically told Matthew not to leave for Georgia until I modeled my 1000 pair of new shoes for him, now what am I going to do, Georgia could’ve wait!
Robert: Condi…Sir…may I make a suggestion?
Condi: What is it Robert and make it fast!
Robert: You could send me pictures of all your new shoes with your camera phone and then call me to see what I think, as I know a thing or two about womans shoes and bras and panties…
Condi: Oh Robert you wonderful baboon that is an excellent idea but it may take 90 phone calls to get this done….
She’s part of the Presidential Delegation for the Beijing closing ceremonies. Whether Condi is there yet, I don’t know. She is leading the delegation.

Dear Ruskies:
Only the Bush crime family is allowed to invade, bomb and occupy foreign countries.
Signed,

August 11th, 2008 at 7:22 pmThe sad thing is that, since Bushco squandered any leverage we have with anyone, it doesn’t make the slightest difference what Ms. Rice does, or doesn’t do.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:23 pmWhat exactly is she doing, where is she that she’s just too damn busy to get involved with this new war that they helped start? Maybe they hope it will escalate to a real big deal so that george and dick and condi will ride to the rescue under the brilliant military leadership of the admiral’s son.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:24 pmHey she was trained by the master–Old Georgy boy…..
Look at what George Will said about baby Bush: Putin left the games because he takes it seriously….and Bush is in a basketball huddle…..because??
August 11th, 2008 at 7:24 pmSo true pete! That was kind of the point that Bob Costa’s was trying to make in his interview with the idiot in chief but it went over his head.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:26 pmSaakashvilli will be happy to find out how much he has gained from pimping out Georgia to the US. That is, not much. The White House won’t even engage in symbolic gestures -like giving up their holidays.
Future Georgian governments will be a whole lot more careful to anger the bear next door while trying to cuddle up to the US.

I thought foreign policy was a responsibility for the Decider, and him alone. Congress shouldn’t bother with it. When did reichwingers change their mind over this?
Oh that’s right, there is a crisis and they need someone to blame.
“Mussolini in a skirt” Pelosi? What the hell is the moron talking about? More evidence reichwingers are big on hyperbole, but a little short on facts.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:33 pmMaybe she’s in that hotspot…… “Myrtle Beach”
If so, everything is just fine.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:37 pmHoliday???!!!!! What?!!! After holding secret meeting in the White House, with top government officials, about USA’s TORTURE PROGRAM, this WAR CRIMINAL is on holiday???!!!!! She has no morals!

Even Ronnie Raygun knew Bush was a pathetic loser.
[From THE REAGAN DIARIES - entry dated May 17, 1986]
“A moment I’ve been dreading. George brought his n’er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I’ll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they’ll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.”
Bah hahaha! A shifless 40 year old kid who hadn’t held a real job yet! Way to go republicans! Way to pick a winner!

If Condi isn’t in Tsibilis, it’s because the Bushies know they got NUTHIN, and can’t even hope to contain the carnage…
August 11th, 2008 at 7:41 pmJoe…she’s an expert alright but it doesn’t have a thing to do with shoes it has to do with that gap in her teeth and what she can do with it….
Anybody remember when Condi made that freudian slip and called George her husband to a reporter as she just got off of Air Force One?
August 11th, 2008 at 7:44 pmRight on, Joe: I, too, thought Condi Rice’s area of expertise was Russian relations? Looks like Bush will need to dust off the neocons and wind John Bolton up to deal with this international crisis.

Alex Jones talks with professor Michel Chossudovsky about the unfolding conflict in Georgia which according to Chossudovsky were carried out using aerial bombardments and ground attacks largely directed against civilian targets including residential areas, hospitals and the university resulting in the destruction of the provincial capital Tskhinvali and in some 1500 civilian deaths.

geez, Rice won’t come back from vacation …. Nancy (mussolini in a skirt) Pelosi won’t come back from vacation.
What a lazy bunch of politicians we have.
Credit goes to Michael Savage for (Nancy (mussolini in a skirt) Pelosi
Any eedjit that listens to Michael “Savage” (”Do you think he’s maybe compensating for something?”) Weiner gets credit for unfathomable stoopidity only. But they’re too stoopid to realise it.
As for Pelosi’s refusal to bend to the Rethuglican “drama queens” demand that we hand out our national resources to the big oil companies, in a manoeuvre that won’t make a damn bit of difference to oil production in the near future (and only exacerbates the root problem), good on her. Pretending that this is an issue that can be “solved” by one vote is a demonstration of utmost cluelessness (or prevarication) … but may be all that Rethuglicans are capableof handling.
If the Rethuglicans are serious about addressing the issue, they can step on board, sign up for renewable energy and do their job helping the country and its future. I’d note that Boehner(R-Moronville) was sufficiently devoted to this faux “protest” to do his part from the golf links….
Now FOAD.
Cheers,
August 11th, 2008 at 7:50 pmThe size and scope of the Russian operation indicates it was well planned. This was not a spontaneous event. Neither was Israel’s cutting off Georgia from arms sales six months ago.
Russian appears to have slowed its delivery of a key missile defense system to Iran. Additional U.S. aircraft carriers steam, as I write, toward the Persian Gulf.
Condi’s on vacation because the fix is in. There are no surprises, except maybe the depth of the Russian incursion. To many leaders in the Kremlin or our Capital, citizens are disposable.
Cheney’s ready to answer the Russian aggression with a little of his own. It surely won’t be aimed at Russia, but a surrogate, one who Cheney sorely wants regime change. Ahmadinjad for the Georgian President? That sounds like some horse trading.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:52 pmWhy is the shoe shopper needed ?

Great point, joe in oklahoma.
Condi’s expertise in Russian relations seemed to render her a little bit out of her depth with all the shit going down in the middle east. She seemed a bit of an anachronism.
Now that something serious really is happening with Russia, she’s nowhere to be found.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:55 pmGregor, your other point about foreign policy being the responsibility of the Deciderer was excellent, but this bit about the Savage Weiner is just beautiful in its lethality.
Cheers.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:57 pmWell thank GW’s plastic Jesus, she’s not letting that Russian studies degree go to waste.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:06 pm“I think, you know, I think the person who deserves the blame for that is President Bush and the incompetent man he named to run FEMA.

August 11th, 2008 at 8:08 pmYou’d better believe our Defense Department Intelligence Agency noticed thousands of Russians tanks moving toward the two breakaway regions in Georgia.
Condi is staying away on purpose.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pmVacationing, shoe shopping, theater tickets — Rice has her priorities!
August 11th, 2008 at 8:23 pmNo wonder she likes working with Bush — he puts his “down time” as #1 on his To Do List also.
After all, what’s a warning on a PDB, an invasion of a sovereign nation by Russia, (oh, yeash, we did that too) conflict in every corner of the world — she needs her “personal time.”
Russia called Friday upon Georgia to halt its offensive upon South Ossetia and return to talks with the breakaway region.
Georgian authorities “should change their minds and return to civilised means of resolving difficult political questions,” a Russian foreign ministry spokesman, Boris Malakhov, said on the news channel Vesti 24.
“It is still not too late to prevent a massive bloodbath and new victims, including among civilians,” he said.
Russia, which has peacekeepers deployed in South Ossetia and previously warned it won’t remain on the sidelines in the event of a Georgian attempt to resolve the situation by force, intends to “continue its pursuit of efforts to prevent the spilling of blood and for the process of resolving the situation to return to peaceful means,” said Malakhov.
Russia also requested the UN Security Council hold an emergency meeting late Thursday on the escalating fighting in Georgia’s breakaway region of South Ossetia, diplomats at the UN headquarters in New York said.

So you support Russia? Dude, the Russian tricked Georgia into this fight. The Ossetians were attacking Georgians. I can understand Russia repelling a Georgian attack on Ossetia. But this invasion and now regime change is wrong. It is no different than our Iraq invasion. By your logic we have a right to attack Iran and China has a right to attack Taiwan.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
The Georgia-Russia war is nothing more than a proxy war for U.S. and Israel , as the US has been training Georgians and Israel has been supplying arms to them ; as an excuse for a US-Israel attack upon Iran itself or hitting some pre-determined targets there………..

And how is the price of gas heaped upon the shoulders of Pelosi and Congress now ; are you going to claim that you didn’t scream about gas prices going up under Clinton , and that you didn’t blame him alone , you GOP/Chimpy nut hugger ?
August 11th, 2008 at 8:38 pmNot even sure how the US would respond if we could. We cannot put enough troops into Georgia in time to prevent a complete Russian takeover, any such move would escalate this conflict out of control and the Georgian’s aren’t faultless in this either. No I don’t support Russia’s attack. I do think they have overreacted to the situation and sadly a large number of innocent people are going to die because of it. Reminds me of the Iraq invasion.

From “ISRAEL NEWS” :
Realising Russia and Georgia were on a collision course, defense officials evaluated the situation several months ago and made a decision to drastically minimize sales of weapons to Georgia so as not to harm relations with both countries, Israeli officials said Sunday.
Israeli sales with Georgia in the past included night-vision equipment, rifles and unmanned drones for gathering intelligence.

Can anyone name one positive thing this woman has done for our country? Must be the reason Bush has made her Sec of State.
August 11th, 2008 at 8:46 pmIn this situation, Russia holds all the cards. For one thing, they are no longer in Afghanistan.
The Neocons put Georgia up to this, the Russians have just been waiting for an excuse to act, and Sen. McCain is acting like we can do something about it.
Empty threats will only make the situation worse.

My point guys is Russia is wrong in what what are doing and if we don’t condemn it, then we can’t say nothing if the US attacks Iran.
We must condemn ALL acts of aggression, not just a few.

I did condemn it ; do not point fingers at things you clearly do not see nor understand………..
August 11th, 2008 at 9:05 pmRussians out of South Ossetia?
Americans out of Iraq and Afghanistan!
Israel out of Palestine!
August 11th, 2008 at 9:06 pmCondi Rice is afraid to go to Georgia, because like most right wingers:
she is afraid of her own shadow,
can’t fight her way out of a wet paper bag (even if we started a hole for her),
and,
would rather use words to make herself appear to be tough, when really, she isn’t.
The End.
August 11th, 2008 at 9:06 pmIsrael supplies arms to Georgia. Their MIC must be thrilled with this latest invasion by Russia! Money, money, money. Spit.
August 11th, 2008 at 9:08 pmI appreciate that, btruthful, but I think your anger is misplaced. Perhaps I’m just old enough to have become jaded with Russia/USSR using force?
As abhorrent as any violence is, it’s hard to summon much outrage. All we can really do is hope they stop shooting at each other.
BTW, I don’t think a proxy war is a possibility. I just don’t know where we would find extra resources to funnel in, even if escalation seemed inevitable. Most reports suggest we’re near the end of our equipment barrel.

August 11th, 2008 at 9:14 pmFor years, we have been told Condi Rice was a very intelligent woman. The fact that she was the National Security Advisor on 9/11, during the worst terrorist attack (indeed the _only_ terrorist attack) on American soil? She’s gotten away with the bs “we could not have forseen” excuse, even though exactly that kind of attack had been predicted in TV shows, films, and even a Tom Clancy book.
Then there’s the war in Iraq. Somehow her vaunted expertise sat back and let the Cheney crowd lie their way into a war. We were told that she was ignorant about the Middle East, but when it came to Russia, she was a real expert.
So now, we have the biggest crisis involving Russia during her term. And she cannot be bothered to deal with it?
I think we’re long past the point where she should be impeached for basic incompetence.
August 11th, 2008 at 9:16 pmUS “retaliates” by striking key Iran targets by air…….
August 11th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
It’s as likely a scenario as any. I put NOTHING past, or beneath, Bushco. They just keep setting new, low, standards.
On the other hand, I’m certain there is some internal pressure against striking Iran. Personally, I think they’ll wait till after the election if they can hold their water that long. But I hate to count on them doing what makes sense.
August 11th, 2008 at 9:20 pmWhere is Condi???
Isn’t she the expert on Russia? Or was it the Soviet Union?
August 11th, 2008 at 9:24 pmBush mispoke in his three minute position statement on the Russia-Georgia conflict. Around the 1:00 mark

August 11th, 2008 at 9:34 pmIsrael Linked To Georgia Security
The two largest suppliers to Georgia are the United States and France. Israel may not be Georgia’s main arms supplier, but the scope of defense deals between the two countries stands at $200 million.
However, security ties between Israel and Georgia have received a great deal of media attention, in part because of the capture, on film, of a Russian jet downing an Israeli-made drone in Georgian service, and the role that retired senior Israeli officers have played as advisers to the Georgian security forces.
Notice that Israel is always there when the wars start… but never at the end.

August 11th, 2008 at 10:05 pmThe Left did not like George Bush having his underlings forge documents to lie our nation into an illegal attack and occupation of a sovereign nation. The Left does not like Russia doing the same (without forged documents, I may add) thing. The point the Left is trying to make to the Right-Wrongs is it’s very hypocritical of George Bush, Dick Cheney, or any of the war criminals to be pointing fingers at Pootie for doing exactly what they did. See?
August 11th, 2008 at 10:09 pmSeriously. Who’s condoning Russia’s, or Georgia’s, actions? Like all wars it’s wasteful, immoral, and pointless. But recognizing the fact that our country won’t do a damn thing is hardly “letting Russia off the hook”.
Unless you’re suggesting we engage Russia in a real live war? Save it for your wet dreams. Even Bushco isn’t THAT stupid.
August 11th, 2008 at 10:11 pmI bet Condi Rice told Pootie in Russian to invade and attack Georgia. Wouldn’t surprise me. This is the same kind of shit George H.W. Bush did to Saddam Hussein. “Uh yeah. Go ahead and side drill into Kuwait. Then invade. Hey, you’re the leader of Iraq. I can’t tell you what to do”.
Then when Saddam does, George H.W. Bush says, “Okay, that’s it! We’re gonna attack Iraq because their leader is a big bully!”.

Who is bilking, the patient or the doctor. And what are they bilking? What service or benefit are they gettign have a serious diagnosis labelled on themselves (patient doing bilking) or on their patient (doctor doing bilking.) Neither of the two parties make out on the misdiagnosis. That is what makes wiener’s ridiculous diatribe against 99% of those diagnosed by autism.

August 12th, 2008 at 12:07 amHello? Who’s “defending Russia”?
The fact that South Ossetia is, historically, part of Russia and the fact that many of the inhabitants are, essentially, Russian citizens doesn’t mitigate Russia’s brutality. Nor does South Ossetia’s wish to rejoin Russia excuse the brutality of Georgia.
Recognizing those relevant facts hardly constitutes support. But, they do serve to illustrate the utter insanity of comparing Georgia to Iraq or Iran.
Whether you support them or not, the Russians can make an argument that the military action in South Ossetia posed a threat to their security. Iran and Iraq, or Afghanistan for that matter, can not pose a conventional threat to the U.S. It’s not a difficult distinction t make.

It’s not hard. He may be a bigger idiot than Bush.
And if you think his Senate record is distinguished? You haven’t checked his record.
His so-called maverick persona is a front for a fundamentally dishonest political hack. He supports, sponsors and even writes legislation that runs against the party grain, lying to his constituents in the meantime, then flip-flops to vote the party line, virtually, all the time. This pattern goes back to his earliest days in the Senate but became more typical after the Keating Five scandal.
He’s a bald faced liar who’s been driven around the bend by his lust for the Presidency. And any warrior’s sense of honor he may have once possessed is long since dead.

On the right side, we have a war veteran that spend 5+ years as a POW. Not to mention his 20 + years in the senate. A man who has proven the hard way that he loves his country. http://www.friendsofmccain.com/about/
What in god’s name does spending time as a POW have to do with qualifications to lead the country? Is that part of the job requirements suddenly?
Fine, he loves his country. Many of us do. That’s hardly a qualification, either. What about all those other guys in the camp with McCain? Maybe we should find the guy who was there the longest and elect him President, if that’s such an important criterion.

Nice cut’n'paste of some obsequious crapola they put out after the sh*te hit the fan, and they were getting hammered for their hatred and stupidity.
A reasonable person would have apologised. Not Michael Weiner. He’s a hate-spewing person (this is hardly the first time), and he got caught with his pants down. “99% of those diagnosed with autism”. Not “most kids that throw temper tantrums” (as he tries to pretend in his purported defence) … that’s every kid. And no one has ever claimed that most (or all) kids are autistic. Weiner said “autistic” Even his “explanation” is full’o'crapola, and he’s an eedjit … or worse.
Cheers,
August 12th, 2008 at 12:51 amYay TP! That troll was really getting old. Bring on the next sock puppet.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:51 amI’m going to have to keep a wordpad doc open and copy all the troll posts in order to keep up with who said what and when.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:54 amIt looks like gummitch brought the Pervskidmark B Gone. :)
August 12th, 2008 at 12:58 amOy, don’t bother, House of Roberts.
They’ll repeat their idiocy often enough…

Why on Earth would you subject yourself to such torture? As soon as I figured out we were dealing with several, multiple, personalities I gave up keeping them separate. I find it easier to just accept that trolls is trolls. No more worthy of an identity than a chicken in a feedlot.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:07 amI don’t think trolls have a curfew. They strike whenever Mommy leaves the computer unattended. But, it’s past my curfew.
G’night good people.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:11 amYou too trolls.
Well, if the posts all suddenly disappear, I might want to remember something that might have seemed insignificant at the time.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:11 amGoodnight, pete.
I’m about to turn into a pumpkin as well.
Goodnight, all. :)
August 12th, 2008 at 1:14 amI thought I smelled pee.
Y’all trolls are totally weak. It’s amazing how much you can type with one hand.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:18 amHi guys. You say silly things…

August 12th, 2008 at 1:39 amHave we used the last “Gotcha” or do we have one left?
August 12th, 2008 at 1:41 amBush,Cheney,Rice got their cue from Putin last week.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:45 amRussia wants control of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which transports oil from the Caspian Sea to Turkey. The saber rattling is all a hoax designed to placate most Americans.
Seems the freaks are a tad befuttled. I am so intrigued by their socioecology
August 12th, 2008 at 1:46 ammissionimpossible at 1:45 am
Why would the Russians want a pipeline that is in jeopardy on the Turkish end? To shut it down and redirect the oil elsewhere?
August 12th, 2008 at 1:56 amI think Russia should say that Georgia is a threat to its neighbors and Russia; that they have killed their own people; that one of their middle schools has a chemistry lab that could be used for WMD; that Georgia has ties to a known terrorist state (USA); and that Russia cannot wait until the smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud (snark).
August 12th, 2008 at 7:25 amThere you go again repug. Not making sense again.
What does rice not acting urgently to a serious crisis have to do with the repug comedy skit?
Beside if the skit was serious your chimpy would have called all them back. And beside, beside rice has been on a long enough vacation. Where is the old gal?
I forget, who is the repug who talk the talk but could walk the walk? (as usual)
August 12th, 2008 at 8:20 amWell obviously, with Rice refusing to interrupt her “holiday”, and Bush waving the US flag in Bejing, this conflict is not that big of deal.
Oh, the administration will talk tough, but in the end, it’s just a bunch of dead foreigners.
August 12th, 2008 at 8:23 am(major snark)
Just another example of gross incompetency in the Bush Cabinet. Call it what you will, cronyism, favoritism, appointing not necessarily the one with the best qualifications for the job, instead the one who has proved to support the President completely. Look at the Judicial System. It’s loaded with incompetent idealogues. Sigh……:-(
August 12th, 2008 at 9:05 amStay home, Condo, we don’t need you.
August 12th, 2008 at 9:18 amThe people of Georgia should be proud. Our Secretary of State, Rice, is treating them as if they were all Americans: she hears your pain and does not care. How big of her.
Folks, don’t blame Rice, don’t blame Bush for this disaster or the gutting of the Endangered Species act, or for any other wars that will start between now and January. As a hard core Democrat I assure you we all only have Nancy Pelosi to blame.
Nancy admits to the press that Bush is in her words “incompetent”. Yet, she willingly allows Mr. Incompetent and his cast of nit-wits to make the decisions that affect all of our lives. Nancy, there are plenty of crimes to charge these guys with, just reach your hand in a hat and pick one. When you knowingly let a 4 year old drive the family around, don’t cry when he drives you all off the cliff.
You know, I know, and Nancy knows, there’s more to come folks, there’s more to come, and she’s okay with that.
August 12th, 2008 at 9:30 am“Cancervative” That’s a nice little freudian slip to fling around the real world. Passive aggressive, yes…yet apropos.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:45 amIt’s a toss up whether Condoleezza Rice or Madeleine Albright is the more barbaric Secretary of State in U.S. history. With respect to not getting involved in the Russia/Georgia chaos, whether by design or mere benign stupidity it probably the only intelligent thing she has ever done during her stint as SoS. Can you imagine the outrage if Russia got directly involved militarily and financially in a dispute between the U.S and Mexico; or the U.S. and Canada; or the U.S. and Cuba. Ooops, that happened and WE, the U.S. nearly started WW III. I would suggest that the blustering buffoonery of the Insane Cheney, the Barking Baboonish Boltons of the world, the Bush the Brain Lite follow the lead of Rice and STFU. Russia is in a much better to “kick ass” position than the U.S. and just might not take too kindly to “advice” from the most murderous meddling now-too-far-extended bully in the world!
Medvedev just might call the Administration’s bluff and we will find out that “behind the curtain” is the Wizard of Scuzz!
August 12th, 2008 at 10:58 amRemember when Bush said he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul?
Putin at the same time, looked into Bush’s eyes and saw “assoul”!
August 12th, 2008 at 11:02 amI don’t see why everyone is beating up on my sister Condelezza.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:22 pmThis is another example that the “old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. Lida Sohbet sohbet sesli chat Gelinlik Modelleri
January 11th, 2009 at 11:55 amIf you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias? The military under orders not to speak out may never convey Karl Scharz’ expose’. Sesli Sohbet If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). Fx15 From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. Orjinal Lida It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. Sikis Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article. What Schwarz had to present in this article is an eye opener: kurtlar vadisi pusu izle
