Condi Rice is proud that we attacked Iraq
By John Amato Friday Jul 04, 2008 12:00pm
Well, well, well, the girl who ignored the flashing red light from Osama bin Laden right (PDB) before 9/11 is now oh so proud that Bush invaded Iraq. Here she is with Judy Woodruff on Bloomberg.
Rice: Yes, it’s been very, very tough. But I know that great historical events go through difficult phases and often emerge with the world left for the better. And I am proud of the decision of this administration to overthrow Saddam Hussein. I am proud of the liberation of 25 million...
And let's not forget her aluminum tube claim:
Citing Bush administration officials, The New York Times reported Sunday that Iraq tried to buy thousands of high-strength aluminum tubes. The tubes, Rice said, "are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs."
Here's here on MTP reminding us all about Saddam back on May 22nd, 2006:

RICE: I understand that Americans see on their screens violence. They continue to see Americans killed, and we mourn every death. These are very hard things to do. But I would ask that people remember why we are there. We are there because we are trying to-having overthrown a brutal dictator who was a destabilizing force in the Middle East, we're trying to help the Iraqis create a stable foundation for democracy and a stable foundation for peace."

war criminal
We are in Iraq to help the Iraqi people to give us there oil.
Yeah,
That's the ticket.
I see she's even got her husband the chimp's smirk down now too. Keep smiling, Condi and be sure and book a trip to Holland *real* soon, they'd love to see you.
Worst. Secretary of State. Ever. She's accomplished absolutely nothing in her time at the government teat.
He, Condi, Pay-Less has a giant shoe sale.
Hey, Condi, Pay-Less has a giant shoe sale.
Honestly.
I'm kind of tired with the whole "History will vindicate our ludicrous mistake." Talking point. It seem to be the fallback justification for every administration tool. And of course, its the main rationale in Bush's mind that allows him to sleep at night.
"In the long run... it will all work out."
Well, 'duh' ... in the long run, we'll all be dead. What's your point?
One might argue. "SEE... in the LONG run, Japan's decision to bomb Pearl Harbor was a great idea ... Japan is doing great and we get along just fine with them!"
This is the basis of their arguement.
"History will prove us right."
They'll have to live with fact that they will DIE hearing nothing but condemnation of their actions.
Fascist States of America @ 1:
Yes! War Criminal ... along with bush, here is a clip of him being heckeled at the swearing in ceremony for new Citizens and being called a War Criminal.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/07/04/vo.bush.protesters.cnn
The entire Administration is complicit in this Illegal and unjust war, while the real war is left un-fought in Afghanistan and OBL still runs free.
She's "proud of the liberation of 25 million...." How proud is she of the millions that we killed? Or that we "brought democracy" to a people who had never asked for it to begin with.
They should all be tried for war crimes. Every last piece of crap in this administration that helped bring this about.
"But I know that great historical events go through difficult phases and often emerge with the world left for the better."
Extremely evil historical events often emerge with the world left for better too you twit. The thanks for that belongs to the people who cleaned up the mess not the ones who created it.
Well, I hope she's still proud when the entire Bush Administration is indicted for lying this country into this illegal war and occupation in Iraq.
It's so simple. NEVER ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG !! NEVER NEVER !! THAT'S THE "SUCCESS FORMULA" of this administration.
Condi and Dick would probably also say that they are proud that 9/11 happened while they were in office. The US was attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists KNEW that this administration would be the most effective administration in U.S. history. And I'm proud of that !
The Bush Administration are full of..."LIARS, CHEATERS, TRAITORS AND THIEVES".
CRIME SHOULDN'T PAY...IF WE DON'T IMPEACH WE MUST INDICT!!!!
Why does anything that comes out of the mouth of this criminal lame duck administration even qualify as news anymore , other than the fifth amendment at their trials ? You know, the one part of the constitution that they and congress haven't butchered yet .
occupation and the murder of thousands upon thousands of Iraqis = liberation
Good going, Condi!
I keep cheating on my wife and every time I get caught - I tell her that it's good for her. "A challenging life builds character." I'm building her character...making her a better person. It works ! So I'm able to have a lovely family and get nookies on the side. I learned this tactic from the Bush Administration. You fuck over someone that doesn't deserve it and then you try to convince everyone that it's for their own good. The trick is - you gotta believe it yourself 100%.
One can only imagine how proud she must be of herself for ignoring all of the warnings about the 911 attacks.
Did she say the Iraq invasion left the world in a better place??? What world is she living in????
War criminal. And a totally useless National security Adviser and SOS. when she returns to Stanford next year, I hope she has buckets of fake blood thrown on her every day as she walks across the campus.
Pardon my French....... lock this b*tch up.
I would like to see how proud that she would be wearing the orange suits that she puts the Guantanamo inmates in. She is either psychotic and delusional, on medication, or just plain evil. Where will the threesome of George, Condi, and Laura dwell after the White House? I wish that we could say "Goodbye and good riddance" to her now. Unfortunately, Bush and company will leave a stain on this country for decades when they exit.
let's send cundi to the streets of iraq
and let her explain why she is so proud
of this crime she is a part of. i am sure
the iraqi people, especially the many thousands
of those who have so painfully and needlessly
have lost loved ones and had their lives
completely destroyed, would be very
glad to listen.............or NOT.
i hope that if she ever travels out of
Amerika which she helped to create
because of her gross stupidity and
incompetence, she will be arrested
by rendition and forced to confess
to her crimes, convicted and given
the harshest of punishments. it's
too bad that this will never happen
in America.
With over 4000 plus soldiers dead not knowing they were told a lie by the President, Connie is really saying SO. Now she's trying to hook up with Obama for a job as Powell is doing. These people are evil and will say anything. Americans should remember as Katrina Victims were dying and begging for help Connie Rice just watched and kept on shopping not caring. Connie Rice with the rest of the Bush Administration should be charged with War Crimes and Powell should go right to jail. These people aren't what America stands for they are pure evil.
I just watched the Condi interview video again. She totally blames Sadam for the invasion as if he left the US with no choice but to invade......so back to my marriage .....having girlfriends on the side is justified because my wife doesn't have great love-making technique. She also bought a pair of shoes which I told her ,in the store,were ugly. She left me with no choice but to seek sex outside the marriage.
Rey @ 6:
EXACTLY. Everyone with a brain knows these talking points are pure crap, but I think everyone in the administration (with a shred of a conscience) repeats them as a mantra to themselves constantly in order to sleep at night. If Condi and her ilk don't make themselves believe this, then they have to admit to themselves that they're nothing more than liars and mass murderers.
It's just frustrating knowing that Dubya will go to his grave never admitting to himself what an idiot he is.
The Corporate States of America thanks you.
Our soldiers are dying daily not to bring freedom to Iraq, but because booshco is twisting in the wind trying to find a new rationale for the invasion beyond the non-existent WMD's.
Right, and that was some serious reporting on woodruff's part, that dogged determination and followup.
McCain Lied Again!
The Bush Administration Paid 20 million dollars to free Columbian Hostages. McCain Publicity Stunt?
At any rate McCain lied by not telling about the $20 million dollar ransom payment.
Again, it’s not the release of the hostages which is bothersome. That’s a good thing. $20 million was a small price to pay to secure their release. It’s the timing of the events and the accounts of the release that have been suspect.
http://allspinzone.com/wp/2008/07/04/did-us-pay-farc-20-million-to-relea...
Condi is proud to over throw an old US puppet , i can't believe she brings up the Iran-Iraq war and uses it as a justification to over throw saddam, the US armed him to the teeth to fight in that war, and supplied him with the gas he used.
[Deleted. Off topic, Site Monitor]
Won't Ms. Condi be so proud of her new brood when the name a whole fleet of super tankers after her?
she's happy for the 25 million people in iraq, but could give a fuck about 90 percent of the people living in this country.
We are in Iraq because Bush was the perfect stooge to do what they ordered him to do, ie...captured and control the oil spigot, reduce the offer so that the price could climb up. Well it did...300%. Not bad eh!
Rich in San Bruno @ 10:
with the long 8 yr history of lies and deception now and the documented
extremely close ties to the OBL family in saudi arabia the bush family has
had and still has if you even mention an alleged collusion in this crime of 911,
it gets pulled or censored as conspiracy theory.
free speech is a right even when you don't agree.

Of course she is. If you hear Satan's horsemen in your dreams you justify all your sins. Justifying a million unnecessary deaths takes some serious talking.

war criminal
"Inviting Private Investment"? and Chevron naming a vessel after me!! WooHoo!!!
Ask her how much is a gallon of gasoline in Dubai.
Condi's simply Bush's toy and doing what her master is forcing her to do right now. He doesn't have any supporters left at this point except Laura, Barnie, and Cotton Condi - what a manage a quatro!
This must be reason #2,341 for why we're there. Wasn't it originally that we didn't want to see a smoking gun become a mushroom cloud? Whoops, no WMD. So now our motive was overthrowing a destabilizing dictator: How's that working out? Let's see we've empowered Iran, al Qaeda is as strong as they were before 9/11 and Afghanistan and Pakistan are now their new base. As for creating a stable foundation for democracy and peace in Iraq: Aren't they in the midst of a bloody civil war we helped create? As for the violence Americans allegedly see on their TVs...what the hell is she talking about? The TV news hardly ever reports what's going on in Iraq or Afghanistan and we're never shown the dead bodies, certainly not the thousands of Iraqi and Afghani ones.
Condi prostituted herself in more ways than one. This we will discover one fine day. She'll join the ranks of Jeffy Lube.
What a war criminal. Her own State Department helped draw up the no-bid contracts for BigAmerican Oil to get Iraq's oil fields.
Must be why she's doing the Revisionist History P.R. Rag. Dance, Condi, dance, with your fancy-ass shoes!
Leslie [Hussein] @ 42:
She's still pissed from having to testify before the 9/11 Commission. Oh! the insolence of these critics!
Hey Condi!!!
Why the fuck haven't we invaded CUBA, NORTH KOREA and CHINA!!!!!
Oh yeah no OIL!!!
We don't invade countries because of Brutal Regimes!!
I hope she has this grin when they lead her to the noose!!!!!
IMPEACH AND CONVICT!!!!!
It's been a while since anybody heard from Dumbya's kept WHORE lately.
Even tho I do not like or respect this administration and the people who work for it, Ms. Rice is NOT A GIRL. She is a WOMAN.
Leslie [Hussein] @ 43:
Given that statement, I'd like to hear her explain this administration's bellicose stance towards Iran. The democratically elected government of Iraq is working to strengthen ties to Iran in order to create a stable foundation for peace.
The revision of history has commenced. We are in denial about the millions of Iraqi lives that have been destroyed, and are still being destroyed, because of this ill-conceived war.
Jim Webb can claim with a straight face that the Vietnam war was a good thing because history has not sufficiently documented the number of lives we destroyed over there with our ceaseless bombing. The same thing will happen with Iraq. No one really knows how many lives we've destroyed over there and so that is not factored into the evaluation of the war. So Condi can point to the demise of Saddam and gloat about its success.
Ask the people of Iraq, the ones who've lost families, homes, limbs, security, livelihood. Ask them if the invasion has been worth it. Don't ask Condi. We already know her answer.
25 million liberated. Minus the 85,000-93,000 civilian casualties. Oh well.
ysbaddaden @ 26:
they are not twisting in the wind. they have been quite comfortable all along, knowing that the next lie will find plenty of bouyancy with the media and the Dems in Congress.
they were always there for the oil. we always knew it and, as of last week, they proved it by prematurely announcing the contracts for the big five oil companies. thankfully, the Iraqis announced the international 35-company contract setup.
so now the question changes to how to defend the oil. keeping it from Al CIAda is becoming the popular meme. the question them becomes: do we colonize with US troops or with Blackwater?
Leslie [Hussein] @ 43:
It may have been the aluminum tubes and yellow cakes. I lose track. I do know that a TV station from MN found a small pile of weapons and watched the Iraqi's loot it for several days. Confusing.
Don't forget Blackwater... Condi's army.
Bu'ush' Other Woman chimed in a few weeks ago:
Liberated them. Right. Why don't you go over for an extended unsecured visit to bask in the euphoria of these liberations, you bubblehead?
My niece is attending Stanford in 2009 and I told her to please avoid this sorry, totally unqualified woman's lectures.
Its nice that the media whores had the staged clip of the destruction of the Saddam statue cued up for her.

Hey Condi, IRAQ DID NOT ATTACK US ON 911. No, our memories are not short. Lying warmongering war criminal.
BobbyG @ 56:
Technically speaking, we re-liberated Afghanistan. The Soviets "liberated" it the first time in 1979.
Attila the Appeaser, No Stomach for Kristol @ 50:
Exactly. Plus, just as with Iraq, Iran abandoned its nuclear weapons program according to our own intelligence. I'd like Congress to investigate how Bush's war supplementals are being spent vis a vis Iran and reporting by Sy Hersh about black ops.
This woman truly disgusts me. What pisses me off more is that, after the Bush reign ends, most of these "people" (monsters, really) will be offered well-paid, cushy jobs (mostly at FoxNew$) and just wait for a future time when they will be brought back into the fold of another horrific Republican administration.

Patriotism Verses Genocide The Real Growth In Iraq
As strange as the title may sound, it sums up the moral conflict this country faces every time we send troops down the streets of Iraq, drop smart ass bombs on innocent civilians, and evaluate our involvement as something other then the true genocide it is. We use patriotism like we once used oil. However, like oil, our patriotism is running short for this war, and the warmongers are having a hard time finding it in large quantity.
The power players running this war have a lot of nerve. We had the nerve to kill Iraq's leader for genocide crimes that Saddam Hussein would also call a necessary evil. Almost on a daily bases, we have to get up and paint a new face of denial to hold back the Iraqi outrage, the world outrage and the American outrage for what we know is genocide. Yes, this lie requires daily maintenance, for without it, George Bush would be held for the same crimes he charged Saddam Hussein for.
A lie of this magnitude requires maintenance to keep it afloat. Condoleezza Rice is doing her part to make this terrible crime okay. No doubt, her conscience demands the same daily maintenance; she does not want to wake up to what she has supported. Would you?
Joseph
Casualties of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (beginning with the 2003 invasion of Iraq and continuing with the ensuing 2003 occupation of Iraq coalition presence as well as the activities of the various armed groups operating in the country) have come in many forms, and the accuracy of the information available on different types of casualties varies greatly.
The table below summarizes the Iraq War casualty surveys. See the rest of the article for more detailed info.
Survey Iraqi deaths March 2003 to...
Iraqi Health Ministry survey
151,000 violent deaths out of 400,000 excess deaths due to the war.
June 2006
Lancet survey
601,027 violent deaths out of 654,965 excess deaths.
June 2006
Opinion Research Business survey
1,033,000 violent deaths as a result of the conflict.
August 2007
For troops in the U.S.-led multinational coalition, the death toll is carefully tracked and updated daily, and the names and photographs of those killed in action as well as in accidents have been published widely. Regarding the Iraqis, however, information on both military and civilian casualties is both less accurate and less reliable. Given the political significance of these figures and the varied agendas of all parties, no source can be considered free of bias. Estimates of casualty levels are available from reporters on the scene, from officials of involved organizations, and from groups that summarize information on incidents reported in the news media.
The word "casualties" in its most general sense includes the injured as well as the dead. Accounts of the number of coalition wounded vary widely, partly because it is not obvious what should be counted: should only those injuries serious enough to put a soldier out of commission be included? Do illnesses or injuries caused by accidents count, or should the focus be restricted to wounds caused by hostile engagement? Sources using different definitions may arrive at very different numbers, and sometimes the precise definition is not clearly specified. As for the Iraqis, where even the death toll has only been very roughly estimated, it appears that no one has attempted to count the wounded.
CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Democratic Party Victory Over SCLM and DIEBOLD! @ 77: condiliar and company have a lot to answer for.
come on , condi rice knows shes home free bush cheny home free, rumsfeldt wolfowitz setting pretty , nothing but blue skys from now on! heckys why not no bodys going to prosicute them , not the democrats and certainly not the republicans, scott free thats the way to live after you steal billions, palosi says shes not going to go after them, ried says nix on molesting them and your next fearless whimp obama says i got no time to seek justice for the millions killed and our own war dead! its a win win no matter how you look at it!
RICE:But I would ask that people remember why we are there.
I remember every day, you lying puppet.
How does condiliar feel this?
She also has a Chevron Oil Tanker named after her, so you can figure it out as well as I can.

Kindasleezy Rice you are a fucking lunatic and need to be committed.
Condi doesn't remember we installed a dictator in Iran, and were proud.
Condi doesn't remember we supported the Taliban, and were proud.
Condi doesn't remember we supported Hussein, and were proud.

William @ 86:
Something wrong with her FASHION STATEMENT?
Jeanne @ 54:
Not really that confusing: The aluminum tubes and yellow cake stories were invented and weapons stockpiles aren't WMD. WMD refers specifically to nuclear weapons, as opposed to Saddam's decades-old mustard gas. Because with chemical weapons, such as mustard gas, you put on a gas mask or move out of the way of the cloud and you're fine. Nuclear weapons, on the other hand, wipe out everything within the 1.5 mile blast circle and extending out to about a 20-mile radius.
The Bushies deliberately tried to confuse people about what WMD were. But they weren't Saddam's weapons stockpiles, his mustard gas. WMD referred only to Saddam's non-existent nuclear weapons program.
CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Democratic Party Victory Over SCLM and DIEBOLD! @ 77:
There was an American or English guy (I can't remember) who went door to door counting deaths from the war. This was probably two years ago. He said the Lancet numbers were very low. I can't remember who the guy was working for.
Leslie Hussein,
I'm really not that confused. I knew the Bush administration was stringing the American people along from the very beginning. I know a sociopath when I see one. I also know when they're lying. Bush was. Saddam wasn't when it came to the weapons. You could see the fear in his eyes. He knew Bush was going to invade regardless and his only chance was getting the world opinion in his camp. The world ignored the whole thing.
cv @ 52:
First, the question of whether the Iraqis were liberated is still in doubt. Second, the casualty figure you quote is an estimate that could actually be much higher. Third, in evaluating the cost of the war, I was factoring in not merely the Iraqis that were killed, but the ones whose lives have been ruined as a result of the invasion; the ones who have lost families, homes, security, education, physical or mental health, etc. These are relevant human factors to include into the cost of the war.
If you were given the choice of being 'liberated' or losing your spouse or children, which would you choose? Unfortunately, the Iraqis were not themselves offered these choices; the neo-cons decided for them.
After all these years, they still use the same bullshit spin. Everyone knows they lie...everything that comes out of the White House from these criminals are lies. Either they are really living in a bubble or they simply don't care that they are lying and the whole country knows it. Even more amazing is that after all these years two sessions of Congress let them get away with it. Our Government insults the collective intelligence of The People on a daily basis and wonders why We no longer have confidence in them. The PINHEADS in our Congress and most elected officials in general refuse to believe that the Government is broken on every level imaginable. I wonder if a time will ever come when people can once again be proud of The United States.
RICE: "I understand that Americans see on their screens violence.They continue to see Americans killed and we mourn every death"....
Nonesense...American major news network are not showing or covering news about Americans killed in the war,in fact the coverage of war at its minimum.
The major media spent all last week covering the duel between McCain and Gen. Clark about McCain's military service forty years ago in Viet Nam.
This adminstration has been keen on controlling the news coverage of war from start...using embedded schemes.
People simply wants to see an end in sight to this mission which was decalred accomplished 5 years ago,they want to see a light at the end of the tunnel,they want to see and end to spending on this war.
They want to see promises kept,and straight forwardness by politicians.
Now Condi Rice saying Americans need to remember that we went there to overthrow a brutal dictator Saddam Hussein...
I think the reason given then to Americans before the war started was to destroy Saddam's WMD,which weren't there and nowhere to be found in Iraq.
Condi is not mentioning WMDS anymore..If she forgot...the majority of Americans didn't..
Or, as more pithily described by Greenspan, "We are there because of our insatiable greed and lust for Middle Eastern oil."
Oh yeah as well as the chemicals we sold him to kill those people, He also had the balls to start selling his oil in Euros. But the president legacy...blah...blah...blah
Fucking Liar! They're all liars. We funded Saddam so he could do his work. Condi, go take a cruise on your Exxon oil tanker.
"I understand that Americans see on their screens violence. They continue to see Americans killed, and we mourn every death".
That allegation is yet another flat-out Big Lie. Americans haven't even been permitted to witness their own slain being transported home for burial, much less having seen them killed "on screen" on a regular basis during the course of this war.
It's the same decades old canard invoked by apologists of the Vietnam war debacle in order to rationalize that defeat. It was a stab-in-the-back myth embraced by the delusional, created to justify and sustain a perpetual and violently aggressive American foreign policy. Superfluous to add, it was a stab-in-the-back myth that has paid huge dividends to its inventors.
She lies through her bucked gapped teeth.
BobbyG @ 62:
Good one, thanks. I like the notion that McCain is "obsessed by the humiliation of defeat" in Vietnam. I think Jim Webb is as well. I see the same kind of obsession in his, and others, views about Iraq. This obsession is leading to a perpetuation of bad judgments. Obama, not a Vietnam vet, will hopefully offer a more realistic view of things.
Rumsfeld was shaking Saddam's hand http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/ back when Chevron was slapping Condi Rice's name on that oil tanker http://www.aztlan.net/oiltanker.htm . Saddam didn't dance to their tune anymore so BushCo used the greatest terrorist attack on America to go in and take him out. Saddam gased his own people, BushCo bombed the shit out of them to steal their oil. Condi and BushCo are killers just like Saddam, no difference.
@101 bobsf -
Senator Jim Webb argued strenuously against invading Iraq, before he was in office and before the invasion.
And since the invasion, Webb has argued strenuously for a dipomatic solution engaging all the parties in the region - completely opposite Bush & McCain's commitment to an open-ended military operation.
It was ignoring the PDB that enabled them to pull off their Iraq misadventure. So I believe it's safe to say that she's very proud of ignoring the PDB also!
The war criminals of the bush administration truely do deserve the death penalty.
@102 Ruthless People -
Saddam used gas, helicopters & crop-dusting planes supplied by Reagan & Rumsfeld - through dual-use agricultural grants paid for by the US Taxpayer - to gas his own people.
Saddam was a tool of the Anglo-American Empire, and when he strayed (started having independent ideas) - *poof* - they took him out.
Yes - they are all war criminals. But Saddam would never have had the capability of gassing his own people if the US - and its allies - hadn't supplied him with the means.
Rice Calls Brutal Oil-Rich Dictator a ‘Good Friend’
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, two weeks ago, lamenting how energy politics ‘warp’ foreign policy:
“I can tell you that nothing has really taken me aback more as secretary of state than the way that the politics of energy is — I will use the word ‘warping’ — diplomacy around the world,” said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 5.
Condoleezza Rice, last week, sharing a photo-op with Equatorial Guinean President Teodoro Obiang Nguema. Nguema is “one of the most brutal, most corrupt and unreconstructed dictators in the world”; he also controls the third-largest oil reserves in Africa.
The Washington Post noted this morning, “The meeting with Mr. Obiang was presumably a reward for his hospitable treatment of U.S. oil firms, though we cannot be sure since the State Department declined our invitation to comment.”
Who is stupid enough to believe this crap? Why doesn't Judy Woodruff call her on the bullshit?
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/02/bush-hunt-oil/
i'll never respect bush,cheney and/or rice ever this is why
they went into iraq i never bought into it..
this is ray hunt of hunt oil.. friends of bush and cheney
he was getting an oil contract set up before the deal has set with the iraqis ...hunt has donated 35mil to gwbush
library....i hope history reflects the truth about bush
She should stand trial at the Hague along with Bush, Chene, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez, Rove and the gang. These are worst this country has ever turned out.
Pat Tillman deserves justice too.
RICE: “I understand that Americans see on their screens violence.They continue to see Americans killed and we mourn every death”….
That kind of statement make me want to puke: "we mourn every death” my a++ !
The US certainly don't mourn EVERY death: maybe some of the christian american soldier death are mourned, but this country certainly does not mourn any of the iraqi civilian death that it caused in its greed and hubris. I'm furious each and every time I hear about the human cost of this disgusting war being 4000 dead and 30000 injured US soldiers and... that's it !
How easy is it for the US to forget all the Ali Hussein of Iraq:

Yes, I was referring to Webb's Vietnam stance. You're right about his views of Iraq. His judgments are more sound than McCain's. He has a son who fought there, which I'm sure helped him see the truth.
Despicable Disreputable Dastardly Decietfull Deranged Duplicitous Destructive Deranged Detestable Despisable Disgusting Deceptive Dishonest Disingenuous Double-dealing Delusive
So many words to Describe this woman, but the word "Proud" does not come to mind.
Hey Condi, are they going to use the tanker named after you to liberate the millions of barrels of oil?
Did the oil wells grow flowers around them?
Show us your purple pumps!
I'm freeee at last! All in the name of democracy and speculation!! To flow freely under the proud flag of Halliburton! I'm no longer considered cheap $30 a barrel oil. I'm now worth $145+ a barrel, and will only rise even more!
I'm now, New World Order, very, very expensive energy.
Viva la liberation!!
Why then we did not invade N.Korea...Cuba..or an African country like Zimbabwe ,if our goal is to liberate other people from their dictators, as Condi stated?
Condi seems not to show interest in an African coutry like Zimbabawe to liberate....
Two reasons...
1. These countries are not rich with oil and
2. Are not close to Israel.
But Iran fits the above two, just like Iraq did , has oil and close to Israel.....that's why bush keeps saying he is 'keeping all his options on the table', the same table Bush used in 2003 before invading Iraq.
This woman has so much blood on her hands and soul that she will spend eternity justifying this atrocity to herself... she certainly is NOT convincing everyone else who can clearly see the denial in her eyes.
Then she'll be proud to face the International War Crimes Court in the Hague soon.
She such an oily critter someone should erect a rig on her.
THOROUGHLY WORTHLESS. Proof that the Conservatives practice affirmative action.
As soon as Iraq begins recovering from the United States' genocidal barrage [and it will], there will be torrents of evidence exposing the most horrific war crimes that were committed in Iraq which will create mass outrage. Not even God could defend herself from this incriminating evidence and outrage, much less Condi, the shoe-lover. Thankfully, her future looks extremely bleak and troublesome - justice will prevail!
Oh my isn't it so wonderful that we took out Sadam? But wait, THAT was not the reason they SAID we needed invade Iraq was it?
Condi seems to have changed ther voice/tone and seems to be trying to sound more feminine and sweet like Laura Bush. This was hard to listen to.
Oh she's so proud! Frightening.

Geez, guess I should have looked harder. Point taken.
bobsf @ 93:
The "liberated" thing was pretty obviously sarcasm.
This war criminal should be "brought to justice" just like Saddam Hussein. regards
She hitched her horse to an idiot. Fuck off Condi, really just fuck off already and go away.
Really? What do expect this shameless bitch to say? She certainly doesn't want to admit that an occupation of a Middle Eastern country that had NOTHING to do with us being attacked, the 10's of thousands of wounded American military, plus 4000+ dead, and the COUNTLESS dead, wounded and miserable Iraqi's as a result of our invasion.
She is dillusional. "the captain must go down with the ship"...and they all deserve to be flogged publicly, in my humble opinion.
Hey Condi! Watch out! 'Shrooms!!! Duck and cover!
I for one think things would be much better with Hussein still in charge. He was no threat, that was a lie the neocons and big oil cooked up. I'm sick of this stupid thing Bush got us into, the Hague can't come soon enough for these sick clowns. The puppet masters have their place saved in hell for sure.
I hope she tries to use that drivel at her trial. It was full of falsehoods and half-truths. What few people ever knew, and fewer still remember, SH asked our permission BEFORE he invaded Kuwait.
This is a cut from a timeline of milestones, which took place between the Fall of 1989 and the period shortly after the invasion. There are also other subjects covered. The US was providing SH with advanced weaponry (over $1 Billion in military aid), which is also discussed.
Condi is one of those people, who have not figured out that the blogosphere is full of very sharp researchers, and analysts, with a solid grasp on foreign affairs and world events. She tries to talk over our heads and fails to see how stupid she sounds.
Medical Diagnosis by Video @ 118:
If only that were the case, along with the rest of the usual suspects, black water, the US torture gangs, the military that assisted ...... and every single person that voted for bush twice and the masses that still support they typical american ignorance and hate that they spread around the world.
langx @ 2:
They aren't giving it to you, you're raping and killing them ......... and just taking it.
what an ugly arrogant gargoyle. i hate this bit*h. he/she (whatever it is) is proud of what its done to the iraqi's??? proud???? fu*k you, you ugly heartless hag. we can only hope there will be international justice at the hague for every single reprobate in this criminal administration.. yeah, right... like that will ever happen...
Insufferable bubble-assed bitch!
Alan Colmes blog has that clip and her pre 9-11 clip where she states the opposite:
http://liberalland.com/2008/07…..ondi-rice/
Has she reptilian DNA somewhere in her lying butt?
Should be in a dark damp castle somewhere in Transylvania being called Countess Contelezza.
I swear, there is something wrong with Condi. Boasting how proud she is of being an active participant in the death and destruction of thousands of innocent people. And, all the while, she smiles sweetly and looks so ladylike in her nice clothes, expensive shoes and perfectly coiffed hair. She's slick and fancy, but she is no lady. She has no soul and no conscience. She is pure evil.
The Devil really does wear Prada.
I'm sure that she thinks about our troops.
I'm sure she thinks about all our American dead.
And I'm sure she thinks of all the Iraqi civilians who have died.
And all the wounded and the crippled.
It's just that I know she's thinking about her career first.
And then maybe about shoes.
And then maybe about covering her ass.
And then about smoothly transitioning into some high paying corporate gig, because her academic career may well be finished.
And then about how she looks.
And then about how she sounds.
And then about how to spin her sorry job performance into another shot at a cabinet job or even the Vice Presidency.
And then - shoes? Did I mention shoes?
But I am sure that she thinks about our troops - and then she thinks about how much they owe her for thinking about them. After all, she's got so much on her mind.
This kind of bullsh*t makes me so angry. All these people are TOO IMPORTANT but never too important to send other people to do their jobs. If you want a god damned war Condi, Bush, Cheney, etc., then take your own greasy butts over there and fight it yourself--leave the rest of us alone. The hypocracy of starting wars and sending innocent young people to fight it and die in them should have ended with Vietnam. But the war mongers are always hanging around waiting to make billions off the deaths of others.
Condi continues...
And I am proud of the decision to overthrow Saddam Hussein because now it is open season for USA and western energy interests on Iraqi oil.
How many Iraqis have died because Americans got rid of Saddam? I don't really follow that part. Don't you understand how evil Saddam was and why we Americans are better then him?
The Iraqis just need to let Americans run Iraq for next 50 years or until Iraqi oil is fully depleted or oil does not matter.
Why is this idea so hard to understand?
I understood this idea from the start.
Isn't George Bush just the most wonderful and smartest American President?
Don't you think so?
I am just thrilled to be a part of his "team" and doing what Americans have done to Iraq these past five years can not bother me in the least.
We did it for Iraqs and Iraqis own good.
Just don't get all confused over or about who the bad guys were or are here.
As soon as Iraqi oil is making American and western energy some big money it will all seem well worth a few hundred thousand dead Iraqis and the new American oil colony of "sovereign" Iraq.
That Condi--she is a peach--ain't she now?
After all of her time on the MIA milk carton she wants to spend her waning months trying to make a lasting name for herself. She doesn't know she already has a name.............
You can't mention the word legacy and Bush in the same sentence without thinking of Hitler and other madmen in our history that were responsible for the deaths of countless innocent lives because of their lies. Like Hitler thought, Bush actually thinks he is honorable in his mad man thinking. The only question that remains is will Bush end up behind bars. People who love America are hopeful that someone will pay for his slaughter of 4000 Americans.
Dilusional!! Livin' in a dream world.
On March 11 , 2006, I heard some news that made me say "I haven't felt this good since Pol Pot died!'
Yesterday, Jesse Helms' death led me to exclaim "I haven't felt this good since Slobodan Milosevic died!"
Condi will pass on herself someday. That knowledge should be enough to make us all want to stay in good health and maybe keep a fine bottle of champagne in the fridge.
These people have no shame.
Condi says;"I am proud of the liberation of 25 million"
Let's see... 4 million Iraqis have been displaced and although the U.S. propaganda machine does not want us to have any figures on the number of dead or injured Iraqi's I think we can give a low ball estimate of those numbers and the immediate family members (wives, husbands, children) effected by those death and injuries to be 1 million. Correlating those numbers to the U.S. using a round figure of 300 million, we would have had 48 million people displaced and 12 million dead and injured plus immediate family effected. AND THIS WOMAN IS PROUD OF THAT? She is either a liar or a sociopath and very likely both.
ladies, I know you don't like the word "c*nt", but can we agree Rice is one?
Condoleeza serenades he loverboy:
Oh my man I love him so
He`ll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don`t care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What`s the difference if I say
I`ll go away
When I know I`ll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
It cost me a lot
But that`s one thing that I`ve got
It`s my man
Cold and wet
Tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He`s not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He`s my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him...
(Barbra S.)
.
Is she proud to have created a training ground where none existed before?
Is she proud to have made America less safe...?
.
Is Condi also proud of the near million Iraqis who have been liberated from their mortal coils?
Is she also proud of liberating as many as 5 million from their homes?
Is she proud of liberating 25 million Iraqis from law & order?
Most of all, is she proud of liberating Iraq's nationalisted oil industry & reserves to western oil companies?
History won't vindicate any of these people. It will curse them forever.
Condi get your numbers right!! 1 million got killed so you liberated 24......
