Confronting Condi Rice: "The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands"
(Photograph by Charles Dharapak of Associated Press.)
Code Pink protestor Desiree Farooz confronts Condoleeza Rice with "blood-stained" hands, calling the Secretary of State a "war criminal" who should be tried at the Hague.

Rice was preparing to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee when she encountered Farooz inside the hearing room. Farooz had painted her hands red, apparently to symbolize her group's claim that members of President Bush's cabinet have blood on their hands because of the way they've waged war in Iraq.
Millions? A little bit of an exaggeration.
Oh, that was so stressful.
I'm going to look for a pair of Jimmy Choo's.
Condi does look pleased, doesn't she?
And millions is not much of an exaggeration considering all the ethnic cleansing going on.
Why the need to start removing other affiliated but seated protestors whom were just sitting in their seats? That's what it looked like to me, anyways.
Oh boy. This country is going to hell.
wow. right on.
OUCH!
I wish I would have been there.
I'm very proud of the lady who did this. Good job.
Don't bother Condi...she is on a nuclear joyride.
Hume @ 1:
Yes millions....Let's not forget the people he's ignoring in Palestine, Sudan etc..., It doesn't always take a gun to kill someone, just ignoring a problem can have deadly results.
Not trying to be mean, but is it just me, or does Condi look like a horse? Seriously.
Phillybits @ 4:
Because they forgot to wire the seats with 10,000 volts of electricity. But don't worry, I'm sure those wily protesters were herded into a maintenance closet and tasered one by one.
Good for the Code Pink lady. I don't know if the protest was effective, but that picture will get people's attention. Classic.
When did security show up and beat the crap out of the protester?
Those fucking cops grabbed people in the audience that did nothing.
That is what should be news. Hope the ACLU sues the crap out of them.
The ladies did nothing. The cops violated their first amendment rights for no reason.
They were probably pissed because the first lady could have shot rice if she had wanted to, a big time security breach, But that gives them no right to grab citizens sitting peacefully in their seats and wrestle them out of the room.
It good that the comfort zone of the neocons is occasionally pierced like this. Good for you, Code Pink.
henry walace @ 7:
Don't you mean "nuke-u-lar?"
Well it looks official.
The fashion police say that pink is out for womens fall designs.
These Code Pink chicks are tough. They are doing the dirty work while the rest of us bitch behind a keyboard.
It makes me think I should be sending my money to them instead of the democratic party..........
I hope they have a legal fund set up to help these protesters get out of jail. Rice is clearly a war criminal and I don't think "millions" is that much of an stretch considering all.

Greg @ 8:
And let's not forget that the U.S. Government is so stupid that they will not count someone dead unless they get shot in front of the head. If you get shot in the back, then they do not count it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
I doubt the "Greek Tragedy Chorus" tactic will have much impact. When a person is a sociopath, his or her conscience is dead. It seems that she will not feel bad unless it impacts her directly. Like if the protester got some of that red on Condi's clothes and it stained them. OH THE AGONY OF THE INDELIBLE STAIN!
This kind of protest is very difficult to pull off well, but it can be very effective if done right. That vid John Stewart showed a few months ago of some Code Pink ladies heckling a Congress hearing at the top of their lungs and getting ejected for it is an example of doing it *wrong*. I'm a bit more on-board with this one. She got some real attention but didn't get the wrong people exasperated with her.
The Bush administration is a bunch of psychotic killers. Iraq isn't occupation, it is Genocide.

XXT @ 13:
I must have missed the part where it said the protester had a gun...
I *demand* that the Democrats be forced to apologize for this incident. (Looking at you Pelosi...)
I further *demand* that the MSM spend the next week focusing on this incident instead of the Congressional report that lists the costs of the adventures in Iraqistan at >$2 TRILLION.
Hmmm, will my demands be met? I wonder... :(
Condi's expression has guilty written all over it.
New shoes will make everything all right.
Deja vu all over again. Flashback time for me. Same crap happened all over the country during the Nam protests. About time some people started non-violent resistance.
Makes the goons look sooooooooo bad when they beat up totally passive protesters.
Waddya bet kindanasty would be all approving of this method if it were an anti-abortionist in the face of a Family Planning doctor?
Hume @ 1:
Over a million Iraqis have died due to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. In addition, 2 million Iraqis have become refugees and almost 2 million more have been displaced from their homes. That is not speculation, unfortunately, those are facts, which is why Rice and the other members of this administration should be tried in The Hague for war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity. How convenient it is that the United States, that alleged lover of democracy and justice, has chosen not to belong to the International Criminal Court.
Code Pink doesn't look nearly as frivolous or benign as the media would like to make them out to be.
That's not helping? Any shudder from this photo should be interpretted as an honest horizontal shake of the head. Issues, not characters......this isn't a role call or audition for characters. This is life. Idol fatigue, from a distance, seems to be setting in. The question should be, "Who's collecting the tickets?"
Amazing, thanks, Code Pink! Well Done!
660,000 estimated dead over a year ago.

"Out, damn'd spot! out, I say!"
for the record, can we compare death to a hand painted red and waved in front of condi's face? we don't get the pics of daily death because msm was told not to.
how should you properly respond to mass murderers? request a dialogue?
how to you get the attention of those who can and will have you killed or disappeared like pinochet or mao or pol pot or saddam or putin or boosh do or did? request a caucus? issue, then retract a non-binding referendum?
when the state department needs security, they use blackwater. as of today, blackwater will be domestically empowered. the brownshirts will be wearing black. as they cross the rubicon, please be polite.

There's no polite way to confront Fascists. And sometimes a little political theater is the only thing that can shake the electorate out of their stupor. Remember, American Idol is competing for their attention and their attention span is short. If you don't get their attention in seconds you lose.
wvdave23 @ 373:
Perhaps you should open your eyes. No matter, that is up to you.
This is an ancient (and yes, Christian) tradition of bringing the blood of the innocent to those who spill it. It has long been a way for the powerless to confront the powerful with their crimes.
If there's a hell, I hope that Rice burns to a crisp.

Well, did that, next may be Iran.

Yes and it would go well on the cover of Time Magazine's Person of the Year edition.
cynthetica @ 298:
Quite agree. I think anyone who comments with some version of "protests do nothing" is not only wrong, but is betraying his or her unnatural belief that the opinions of the mass of human beings should never count. Wrong because the effect of protests is to increase solidarity and raise awareness, and is incremental. Unnatural because the authoritarian mindset has been superseded, despite the desperate attempts of authoritarians, witting and unwitting, to assert otherwise.
I am sure by the video that the moment phased Condi. But, she probably just defaulted back to her misguided position that she is a "realist." Being a "realist", she feels that people die in war and that war is necessary to protect America's "vital" interests. I am sure that she feels the realities of war must be hidden from the American people because they simply do not understand the complexities of "reality."
I cannot believe I thought her and Colin Powell were going to keep things in the right direction when this administration darkened America's door.
I have to add that I think the photo speaks for itself. It will be the one in the history books next to her bio. Like Bush and the Mission Accomplished debacle....
FunMe @ 22:
I don't understand this comment. Why scream in outrage as Republicans gay-bash and then turn around and use homophobic humour yourself? Assuming you consider yourself a progressive and/or a liberal, that is.
Just sayin'.
[Bigotry is not a liberal or progressive trait-Sitemonitor]
Matt @ 44:
I disagree completely.
Throughout the history of civilization, even the greatest speeches are forgotten compared to shocking images or persuasive-sounding pieces of rhetoric. Soundbytes, in other words. The Republicans have mastered the art of levelling a thought-out, intelligent, calm argument with a catchy or emotionally-charged phrase.
Though I do not advocate lowering the intelligence of the U.S. political discourse any more than it's already been, allowing Americans to see the outrage and emotionally volatile state of liberals everywhere can't be a bad thing. The image of the woman with the blood on her hands and Condi's pretending to ignore her (as though there were a piece of invisible glass the woman was uselessly slamming herself against) speaks volumes. As it was said above: A picture's worth a thousand words.
Republicans have backed Democrats into a corner where Democrats are Godless, amoral fuckers. Showing passion and patriotism takes the fight right back to their doorstep. How do you feel, Condi, about the blood on your hands?
It makes people think. And that's what matters.
I'd also like to note that it is the goal of all picketers or protesters or what-have-you to make people uncomfortable and anxious. We could use to be shaken up once in a while, frankly. And like any good protest, no one doing the protesting was there to cause damage or bodily harm. She stood in front of Condi and spoke her piece clearly, until she was being pulled away at which point she shouted a few reminders. That's textbook, non-violent and yet confrontational protesting right there. That's simply how it is done.
More people should be screaming at those in the White House, frankly.
Good on Code Pink. Good on those who back up their statements that the current administration is intolerable by showing that they're not dishonest or cowardly when they say it.
I don't understand why Ricey was so upset - she bathes in blood every day - so what's a little more on her face???
And I deplore violence - but geez i wish blood stained woman had bopped this Repuke bitch in the chops!
And those women in pink sitting down - WHY were they dragged out??? Seems they were PEACEFULLY expressing their opinion! Isn't that a fundamental right in the US of A?
Counting down the days when the world is at peace - and Bush, Cheney, Ricey, Rove, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and scores of other mongrels are all tried in the Hague and hopefully imprisoned!
Jay_M @ 33:
And "blood on your hands" would not just refer to the killed...but also to all those injured in attacks. The invasion opened the door to this chaos...and Rice, as an inveterate and unquenchable cheerleader for the invasion and occupation, is responsible for not only those killed and injured by US forces, but also by those that took advantage of the invasion to initiate ethnic cleansing and terrorist acts.
NOTHING like that was possible under Saddams regime...although he was similar responsible for acts in his tenure.
The Iraqis hung Saddam and his colleagues for their acts. I suspect Condi, Rummy, Cheney, and Dubya will walk away from their crimes with no consequences (although hopefully they will have destroyed the Republican Party and make it as historically relevant as the Whigs).
The number of civilian deaths in Iraq is currently estimated at somewhere just over 86,000. The number of internal refugees is at around 2 million and the number of external refugees is at approximately 2 million. Then there are the wounded, the psychologically disturbed, the spent uranium all over the place, etc. Of course, if the Iraqis had simply bent over for us then none of this would have happened. How come Cheney knew all this was going to happen but did it anyway?
condi doesn't give a fuck. this whole thing is nothing really because the federal government hates you and me, the dems and repugs!... they don't care about us anymore. forget it. this country is finished.
I am just glad that the site monitor is for the entire Bush cartel to be deleted!!!!
miss_kitty @ 12:
Shortly after that pic was taken.
Okay I know the first lady got too close to condi for whatever security risk and they took her away, but what the hell did the other lady do and why did they rough her up like that? Are they both in Gitmo now?
I hope no red paint got on condi's shoes. That would so totally bum her out. It would have ruined her whole day.
ysbaddaden @ 34:
It started with Genesis. Then Peter Gabriel left and some Phil dude took over. It just went downhill from there.
If Condi were to ever step down, the NEOConartist will just fill the position with another Bush Shill, Robert Gates (leaves a Jop at texas AM to go back into public life) They think we a stupid.
Go Code Pink!
The worst thing we can do is to NOT confront those in power!
What, no tasers, the preferred enforcers' tool? Condi is on borrowed time.
Funny, I recently put up a pic of a 'Demcrat' Party leader of which you could say very much the same thing.
Condi-Lies-a-Lot ain't the only one who is a war criminal as Code Pink has pointed out.

P.S.-The Bush family looks a lot like Nazi's.
Evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, of Bush,sr.'s involvement in John F. Kennedy's Assassination: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4315024059102108031
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=642552841321950688
Research the governments' many admitted cases of self-inflicted "terrorism", in order to "persuade" it's public into wars. The Gulf Of Tonkin Incident (the event which led to the Vietnam War), was later admitted and proved to be an entirely fake "incident", which never at all happened. I will repeat (for it bears repeating), the Vietnam War, which caused the deaths of(officially) 3,058,000 Americans & Vietnamese, was caused by an event which our government ADMITS to be a complete lie.
Think about what that means. For humanity's sake. Over 3 million died because of a government lie, which was admitted and proven. Research and think about why this was done. If you haven't heard of it, look up the "North American Union", which removes the borders (and rights) of our country, which George W. has agreed upon without Congressional or public approval.
I have to agree with what XXT said first, that the main issue here wasn't that she was thrown out. Anyone with even slight intellect can see that even though what she did was heroic in most of our eyes, obviously she needed to be removed for doing it. So she deserved to be drug out, no doubt. But the pseudo-police grabbed people that were merely dressed the same as, or had the pink "code pink" color on some of their clothing. That blatant disregard of the constitutional rights of those that did nothing is a prime example that this is not a free country, and that we live in a police state with a thin veil over our collective eyes that makes us all think we live in a free country. Stand up for what rights we have left and support those who stand up for our constitution and the rights of us all.

People like you have enabled this administration to take away every thing about this country that made it great, unique, and a bastion of freedom. ASSHOLES! YOU ARE THE TRUE HATERS OF AMERICA!!! Yet you're too blinded with your false, flag waving, saber rattling, warmongering "patriotism" to see that you are in fact bringing about the downfall of this country...WAY TO GO!!!
How ya like dem apples?
#403: Why is someone who protests our government's policies or actions un-American ("American haters")? Isn't it actually more American to speak out and protest? Isn't that how our country got started? Can someone love their country but disagree with their leaders? Maybe you think that protest was too confrontational, and maybe it was, but Condi was not hurt. Our leaders don't seem to be changing their policies one bit in response to public opinion or results or progreess (or some expert comments made by former military commanders and Iraqi war vets...I guess it was their fault, so their views are moot...I guess they are also American haters), so what is there left to do? Start another war with Iran to deflect attention? One could argue that folks who disagree with these gov't policies love America as much as or more than our current leaders, but realize that our policies are fucking up America so much that they need to be stopped (i.e. they are smarter than our current leaders). What is the opposite then, an "American lover?" Someone who sucks Cheney's Dick?
Speaking of which (war with Iran). I guess if we really want to love America, we ought to step on the gas and go out in glory, get that WW3 started (oh, I get it, Mr. Podheretz, avoid it) already. Now THAT'S American!
Look we all love living here and love the freedoms our country provides (well, not quite as much as before..."but that was pre-911; security is paramount!!). We just want our leaders to stop wasting precious lives and limbs by being overly aggressive. War is bad. Really bad. It aint anti-American to be pro-life (oh, that's right, only the lives of unborn fetuses matter in that regard).

I question what they accomplish. To be fearfully honest, showing up at a hearing wearing pink shirts with with hand printed messages on them while also wearing pink plastic statue of liberty crowns, just doesn't lend a a lot of credence to your message. That's just my opinion. Then doing something so dramatic as painting ones hands red to look like blood, will that's not a great idea either. I'm glad the ladies are making their voices heard, I just think with different attire, someone might listen to them. All that being said, they are still Americans and they sure do have freedom to express themselves.

They have waged the war wrong and they failed at policing Iraq during the transit period. Yes, they made stupid mistakes that should not have been made and have caused the unnecessary death of people.
But before that war Iraq was in the hands of a brutal and bloodthirsty dictator. The Iraqi's lived in a state of terror, in constant fear. Thousands were tortured and murdered, some dissidents, some relatives of dissidents, some completely innocent.
The difference is that now Iraq has a chance. They may blow it, they may take it, it may take a while. But for the first time those people now hold their own destiny in their hands. The war was necessary, altough that doesn't make it good.
Do not be surprised if in 20 years time, after things cool down and peace returns, there is a monument in Bagdad honoring Bush as their liberator.
What kind of shoes are war criminals wearing these days?
walkman @ 421:
I think you are correct, we want the same things as Americans. No one likes war. But we have to work together as Americans when it comes to the security of our country. Listening to some of these liberal court jesters makes you realize there is not much chance of that happening.
