Then And Now: Condi Rice

Now: Condi Rice still invokes WMD’s and Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait while lauding our invasion of Iraq in this interview with Judy Woodruff. She repeats the canard that we’ve freed 25 million people. That’s interesting, in light of the civilian casualties, the terror against Christians, and the ongoing civil war.

Then: In 2001, before 9/11, both Colin Powell and Condi Rice said Iraq was not a threat. Powell said he had no WMD’s and Rice said we were able to keep arms from him and that his military had not been rebuilt.

Speaking of canards, if you’re going to beat that ‘ongoing civil war’ drum, at least mention the Crips and the Bloods out in California, or be guilty of that unforgivable sin of ‘unfairness’.

Those are Bush’s yes-men/women, they must pivet towards which ever direction Bush pivets in.

The Crips and Bloods are not engaging in anything like a civil war. A civil war is a battle among competing factions for control of the central government. These rival gangs are fighting for control of their share of “turf” in an illegal drug market. They are not interested in governing; they are interested in controling the recreational pharmaceutical market. By they way, this gangland warfare was given its birth by the prohibition of drugs…by OUR government. If you want to end the violence in LA, get the government out of the drug market. If you want the violence to end in Iraq, get the government out of Iraq. Odd how that works, isn’t it? If you want to see the end of violence, stop legitimizing its use through government.

I doubt decriminalizing drugs will end gang violence. I’m not saying don’t decriminalize drugs, but contending that it will end violence, that seems a stretch to me. Also, I doubt crips and blood are paying attention. If one of them has a relative serving, he’d probably end up killing him, at least indirectly, within 5 years.

Look in the encyclopedia and look for the word “Sellout.” I think you’ll see Condi’s face in the margin. This woman predicted “We’d see dead people as the missile defense funding paradigm shifted back.” This is treason if she knew in advance of a plot to injure innocent Americans or she knew of a pending attack on America. The truth has been staring us right in the face, but it’s too dangerous to our union. It’s possible that “Reading My Pet Goat” was necessary to make it look like a sneak attack. After the damage was done, we could do anything. What came after the attack was the anthrax. That came from a domestic source too. Scott McClellan told us this administration played games. The truth is right in front of our faces, but too painful to explore.

I’m a conservative and I think Condi Rice is totally out of her league and ties with Madeline Half-wit as worst two Secs of State in recent times. (Along with the old carcass Halfwit replaced and whoever was under Carter and Kissinger)
