<snip>

Rice’s stop in Baghdad is part of President Bush’s tour of the region. She said the continuing progress of U.S. forces working with their Iraqi counterparts will grow into regional cooperation that goes beyond the current focus on security.

“It’s not just a security relationship,” she said. “It’s an economic relationship; it’s a political relationship.”

Rice conceded that the political progress “hasn’t always moved as fast as some of us in Washington would have liked.”

“Yes there is still a lot of work to be done,” she said, but maintained that “most people know that a democratic and unified Iraq is here to stay.”

1. Damn. That woman is an idiot. Someone needs to suspend her

PMS privileges.

[ljm2002]

21. Yes, someone needs to suspend her...

...by her ankles over a freeway.

Just for an hour or so.

Might shake some sense into her.

16. good one

I wonder who the Michael Corleone of Iraq will be?

Cheney as the Hyman Roth figure?

[ProfessorGAC]

20. No

Cheney plays the Michael bodyguard. The one who just stands there, menacingly, and never says a word.

And Bill Kristol plays Hyman Roth. A criminal playing a journalist is comparable to a criminal playing a businessman.

9. Most people know that Condi is dangerously unqualified for her job

Well, actually most people don't because they have kept her hidden since her Congressional testimony.

10. Damn! Once again I'm just not up to 'most people'! Here I thought Iraq was still

teetering on the edge of civil war and totally controlled by the US!

Peppy Perino, et al.

11. As part of the Thousand Year Reich?

[Johonny]

12. asn’t always moved as fast

as some of us in Washington would have liked.

In fact it hasn't moved at all... I said it hasn't moved at all. Tough crowd.

Good to know it's an economic relationship. Because judging by today's economic news... were heading towards Iraq's level of economy and not the other way around. Someone tell Condi the economy is not so good.

13. Translation: "We're negotiating the breakup into separate, friendly dictatorships now."
