Uh oh...Rice names SEVEN "Outposts of Tyrrany"...shock & awe time?
I'd feel more comfortable if she named seven Outback Steak Houses...

Rice also said there remain "outposts of tyranny" in the world that require close attention, citing North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Belarus, Zimbabwe and Myanmar, also known as Burma.

"We must remain united in insisting that Iran and North Korea abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions and choose instead the path of peace," she added.

9. What about Pakistan's support of terrorism?
If you want to talk about state-sponsered terrorism, shouldn't Pakistan be at the top of the list? I almost wish that Musharref would be overthrown so we could stop being in denial about who our real enemies are.

11. oh please
We need to start on the path to peace right here, before suggesting this to others.

And by peace, I don't mean bombing the daylights out of people who don't kiss our a** and turn over their resources.

51. Or, for those who find "My Pet Goat" an enthralling read
"Bad countries with bad people who want to do bad things."


Part of that is an actual quote from Condiliesa from quite early in today's hearing. She referred to "bad people who want to do bad things." It really shows how much she has to dumb down to talk to *.

18. Let's see, seven 'outposts of tyranny
and 100,000 murdered civilians a clip that oughta add up to 700,000 murdered civilians. Be proud Ms. Condiliar. Be very proud, and if they challenge your integrity as you prance around the world as George Bush's wife--err, I mean SOS, be sure not to act like a dumb cluck, bimbo of a persecuted female and cry in their face. They got your number now as they watched you on the teevee doing that sam thing when challenged. We don't need no whiney,pity party dudes representing us all over the world bringing chaoes, destruction, murder and mayhem and starting a world war for the glory and honor of an insane man whose only concern is what the response to a catastrophe like never seen, is to consider the talking points to boost up your husband--err, boss.

29. aaaahhhh, 'outposts of tyranny' has kind of a WW3 ring to it.
"outposts" gives it that wild west flair and "tyranny" is something any red blooded pod person would stand against. "Tyranny!" break out a few more flags!!!

This may be the one they've been searching for to smooth the ride to using nukes.

Old West, tyranny... I bet Luntz had to supply towels to wipe the foam off the folks in the focus group's mouths when he first tried it on them.

"outposts of tyranny"

damb.

34. I think I played that Module in High School
Module L7, "Outposts Of Tyranny".

It was set in a desolate wilderness, with the ruins of a once-proud city on a hill that was to be explored. It was ruled by an evil wizard and his henchmen, a real den of bandits . . . I even recall that one character up there, an Orc Preistess of Gnaar'Baal. Lots of hit points, nasty breath weapon though.

I say they'd better not abandon their weapons until we do.

55. She failed to mention Uzbekistan
Where the president has established a cult of personality and brutally represses dissent. But they allow us to use military bases so they are freedom-loving allies.

And how about Nigeria, which allows adultresses to be stoned and is widely considered the most corrupt nation on the planet?

And I see that Libya didn't make the list. Libya's been our pal ever since they decided to worship Bush. I guess Khadafy will be holding democratic elections any day now.

Why isn't Sudan on that list? Genocide doesn't count, I suppose.

Rice also said there remain "outposts of tyranny" in the world that require close attention, citing North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Belarus, Zimbabwe and Myanmar, also known as Burma.

I agree with those six, but what is her seventh?
