Rice: History Will Rate Bush Well
By The Associated Press
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19115459/

Updated: 22 minutes ago
NEW YORK - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says history will remember President Bush's foreign policy favorably despite current troubles in Iraq, Iran, North Korea and the Middle East.

<<snip>>

Rice said she believed the world was more dangerous before Bush took office in January 2001 than it is now.

"Six years ago ... it wasn't a very nice world. Al-Qaida was preparing to attack the twin towers, Pakistan was allied with the Taliban, Afghanistan was the base from where al-Qaida was going to operate, the Israelis and Palestinians had given up," she said.

"The Palestinians had walked away from a chance for a Palestinian state, launched the second intifada; (Israel) elected Ariel Sharon who basically said there will never be a Palestinian state and there will be a greater Israel; the North Koreans were cheating on a deal that they had just signed; China and others were indifferent; Iran was cheating on the IAEA out of sight and Saddam Hussein was shooting at our pilots in the no-fly zone and making a mockery of the oil-for-food program and corruption was running rampant in that program."

"That was the world. A worse world? I think so."

"I think that what this president has done is ... to set up the long struggle that we are going to have to resolve particularly the problem of the growth of extremism in the Middle East, which was clearly there underneath the surface and exploded on Sept. 11."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't help but giggle when I read this article. I mean does she and the rest of them really believe what they are saying? "That was the world. A worse world? I think so." C'mon now, give me a break, the world is much more dangerous than ever, and we all know why!! IMO, history will PROVE that this was the worst President, EVER!!

How can we respect the office when the office holders don't respect the office, the Constitution or the American people?

16. How do her remarks...
stop Cheney from doing anything? He's as pigheaded as the rest of them, and if he wants to bomb Iran or any other place, he will.
