YOU MET THE MONKEY, NOW MEET HIS TRAINER

THE HARDLINE RIGHT-WINGER PRESIDENT BUSH IS MAKING THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL WOMAN

By Anthony Harwood In New York


IF THERE were a monkey in the White House - and many reckon there is - then his trainer would be the world's most powerful person.

In the case of George W Bush, almost everything he knows about foreign policy has been learnt from Condoleezza Rice.

His choice of Rice to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State means that, if Congress approves the decision, she will be the world's most powerful woman.

Not only is she just as right-wing as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the others, she is also an expert in world affairs - which is just as well as Bush is a man who, prior to his first stint as president, had only left America's shores three times.

2. I think they give her too much credit
I think her main qualification for office in this misAdministration is the willingness to fearlessly say, "Yes. sir, whatever you say, sir."

3. Her No 1 role is to ensure Powell's role of gagging all Enron-

$100 billion cannot just be hidden away.

That's why Junior needs Blair to do his lying for him in the UK, Europe and Middle East where the recipients of Enron cash ensured no one asked too many questions about 9/11 intelligence or WMDs.

Enron stole a massive $50billion+ portfoilo of commercial/industrial assets from US/UK sources and then proceeded to raise massive bank loans on them to finance Skilling/Fastow shell companies linked to felon/oil trader MARC RICH (who got a Clinton official pardon in late 2000).

The owners of the portfolio sued Enron's bankers and regained those assets.

Blair said in the House of Commons in Spring 2002 "There is NO Enron scandal in the UK", just before his officials received confirmation of the horrible truth.

Most of the heist was originated by the House of Windsor members, mainly "Prince" Michael of Kent, "Princes" Charles and Andrew plus up to 100 official Labour supporters and party donors, as well as senior UK Ministry of Defence personnel.

Rice thinks she can keep up this Emperor's New Clothes fiasco while Lay, Skilling, Fastow etc bite the bullet.

Can't see it working, she looks as nervous as Chimpy himself....

4. I think that is her danger
In Bush's limited world she is the best because he "knows" her. Obviously she is not the best. Given his proclivity to give what she says great importance and her desire to please him it creates and reaffirms a loop spinning some very bad Karma.

5. Compare Rice to Madeleine Albright
Makes one giggle, doesn't it? This oneup-woman-ship is amazingly comic for a bunch of humor-impaired, faith-based morons.
