FIRE "that woman" CONDI former Ambassador-Dean Univ. of Florida
Like all of us, I'm still holding a grudge about the ineptness of BushCo regarding 911.
After all, there was a memo with the Security Adviser (CONDI) about the attack that
never quite made it to the "bosses" desk. What incompetence.

In true Hollywood style, after that huge failure, Condi got a promotion. Well, she's not
handling that very well. Isn't it time for her to be fired. Maybe the BushBots won't do
it but when the "interim" president comes in, you know after impeachment (x's 2), lets make
her departure a number one priority.


====================================================================

STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE
Lifting off Rice's competent mask


By Dennis Jett, dean of the University of Florida International Center and
a veteran diplomat who was ambassador to Peru and Mozambique

Published February 5, 2006

The clothes have no empress.

"No hint of that is found in the reporting on Condoleezza Rice, however. Most of the early
stories on her tenure as secretary of state focused on what she was wearing rather than what
she was saying. Now they dwell a bit less on fashion but still comment on style instead of substance.
One recent Associated Press story used confident, compassionate, sure-footed and self-assured
all in the first five sentences.

Just parsing fashion statements offers no explanation of why America's image abroad has
sunk to new depths. In her trip to Europe in December she firmly asserted that the U.S.
does not torture. Shortly after her return the White House put out the president's signing
statement on the bill Congress passed prohibiting the use of torture.

The statement, and the president in his last news conference, made clear that he believes
the use of torture is a presidential prerogative.

To point out such inconsistencies is apparently not newsworthy.


The Dean goes on to point out the substance of Rices Georgetown speech was both naive
and dangerous. She wants to spread diplomats around the world proportionally. She said
there are as many US diplomats in Germany as in India and went on to propose US diplomats
in every city with 1.0 million people.

He points out that it takes two years to bring a diplomat online for a country and further,
that by creating one person outposts of "the empire," our the number of terrorist targets
increases exponentially.

He makes it clear that the press is "breathless and uncritical" in it's "reporting."
Any inquiry into her ideas would produce derisive remarks. They simply don't do their
homework. They just digest Administration press releases.

Dean Jett concludes by pointing out: Clearly Rice and her boss are already legends
in their own minds. They will go down in history, but not for leading the world to peace
and freedom. They will be remembered for converting the world's greatest democracy into
the world's largest hypocrisy.

1. I saw her.
I saw this gremlin (Condi) at the Super Bowl. Watching from the shadows like a damn demon. God I hate her and all these pigs.

7. On the "looks" front...
it is rather curious how both Condo (Condi) and Chainey (Chaney) look like they really are "possessed" ("evil" or "demonic" possession). Sure, they're most likely just ugly or alien/strange looking with an absence of morals, humanity, tolerance, wisdom and enlightenment, and a deep selfish lust for power, control and wealth along with inflated ego's to believe they deserve everything--in other words, capable of great harm and evil, they're no better than a bunch of demons. :evilgrin:

Bush himself really only has that stupid, horney grin/smirk with the dim, desperate look behind they eyes of a Chimpanzee trying to figure out which button to push to get the food reward, plus the inability to master human language and a cheesy bark (laugh)(heh heh). Nevertheless, the lack of morals, ethics, integrity, humanity, tolerance, wisdom as well as intelligence, rationality, stability and the gargantuan, overstuffed ego and slobbering lust for power (and control over others and to finally, "on his own" actually succeed in obtaining great wealth), are no less massive and malignent. Alas, it was his persona (with a massive assist from defrauded voting systems, both electronic and not (remember the "butterfly" ballots and voters kept from the polls), plus unethical behavior on the part of--of all people--Supreme Court Justices), family wealth/connections, Rove's bag of dirty tricks, massive Republican campaign funds and control over the media (especially the concerted effort to discredit and smear Gore by, among other things, constantly feeding and re-feeding on false and inaccurate Gore "quotes" such as "I invented the Internet"), that allowed them to overthrow the will of the people and steal the Presidencey--thereby completing the political trifecta. So, while Shrub isn't the mastermind of all the evil goings on... he's still both the enabler and the point chimp (man).

3. She's unqualified
I think that's one reason why she was picked in the first place... she could be steamrolled by Cheney and Rumsfeld.
