This “thing” (woman?) is out of touch with the reality that she is responsible for the touture and murder of over a million of God’s children. Let her profess her innocence on Judgement Day. If God accepts her, I will not live in the same Heaven!

EugeneDebs Says:

As a human being I am ashamed to be the same species as Condalizzard Rice.

Don’t worry, you’re in the clear, like most of the rest of us.

Wait a minute: Didn’t the 2007 NIE say that Iran had suspended its nuclear weapon program after the invasion?

has anyone read american armageddon by craig unger? the neo-cons have a track record of this b.s. rhetoric where they have a feeling and they are correct and any intelligence which shows otherwise is not true. so the keep pushing. and now they keep revising history. this is propaganda, meme seeding. watch matthews with that gaffney guy. these neocons are all deluded by their own shadows and reflections. they live in a parallel universe where some day we will all bow to them and praise them.

As an American I am proud that in 32 days YOU will be a HAS-BEING.
You will have lots of night-mares, from all the horror that was caused by BU$H CO. and you were a large part of it.

Justice will only be a hollow shell of a concept until she has been forced to attempt to make this case in front of the war crimes tribunal.

Let’s hope she remembers these comments at her trial for War Crimes that the United Nations will bring against the Bush Administration. She might have to pull a Gonzo and say ” I can’t recall” at lease 72 times.

“Liberated” – yet another word totally & delusionally redefined by Condi, Bush, Chenet, etc.

SECRETARY RICE: I absolutely am so proud that we liberated Iraq.

What we are now seeing is that these Bushies and their 23% mindless minions cannot seem to tell the difference between “liberation” and “occupation”. They need to watch some of those old film clips of the liberation of France by the allies in WWII.

After a “liberation”, there are parades and girls kissing the liberating soldiers on the streets and stuff like that.

“Occupations” generally look much different, and it is not difficult to differentiate between the two.

I’m sure there is a special place in hell for her, Bush,Chaney,Rumsfeld,and the rest for the demons when their number is up! They are responsible for the deaths and agony of millions of people and the collapse of the economy.
They have spit on the constitution and robbed our very soul.

SECRETARY RICE: Iraq is not Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Iraq belongs to George W. Bush.

She feels so proud as a political scienttist.

How about as a Bush loyalist first country second type of person?

How proud of New Orleans reconstruction is she?

How about that Iraqi reconstruction?

Is she proud of Blackwater merc’s murdering iraqi’s for being in their path?

How about that torture issue? Makes a patriot just choke up and vomit, doesn’t it?

Oh, and the bankrupting the country under the republican/conservative “Free Market” guise of “every American for himself”. Now there is a motto for republicans.
Except, it is the elite that get to be organized in fleecing Americans. Helping those helpless vulnerable billionaires from becoming millionaires because the took that investment risk that pays off high yeilds for said risks. But as we see, Rice and the republican ilk only feel others should feel consecuences of risk and not those wealthy enough to endure.

And I was going to say, “don’t get me started”.

And please let’s not start a philosophy of science debate over political science — we get enough of that in the APSR. Suffice it to say that the field is called “Political Science” and the degree is awarded in “Political Science” and the practitioners are called “political scientists.” Leave the navel-gazing debate over the -ologies to the Rumor Mills on Blogger….

She was never a very good political scientist. She didn’t get cited, her work didn’t create any debates in the literature, she’s not someone on graduate school syllabi. She was a “Sovietologist,” which was a kind of Area Studies/Political Psychology construction — people who could read the tea leaves and tell you what it meant that Malenkov was third from the right on Lenin’s Tomb during a May Day parade and whatnot.

So as a political scientist, I’m proud that no political scientists ever paid her any heed.

Of course, she wasn’t a political scientist long, either. She “did” what, er, WHO she had to “do” among the regency of Stanford to go into administration.

@ republicanSScareme

Please. Science is no more defined by the experimental method than math is defined by matrix algebra. The central elements of science (despite what physicists and physicist wanna-bes will tell you) are explicitness, radical transparency, open dialogue between anonymous peers.

Experimental design is an excellent tool when feasible, but the reality is that science has multiple elements. Experimentation on its own is not science, it’s just curiosity.
