Condi's first major victory???????

[babylonsister]

News last night declared that, due to Condi's presence in the mideast yesterday, she was key in peace talks between Israel and Palestine. Excuse me, but wasn't she just "there"? What did she actually have to do with anything? I thought the peace talks pretty much commenced after Arafat died. Why is this being declared a victory for Condi? And I think I heard this on MSNBC or ABC.
I HATE giving credit where it ISN'T due!

1. My eye!

Thank Mubarak.

2. I had a major bowel movement after she was confirmed...

I'll give her credit for that. Unfortunately, it was in my pants.

9. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ... I'm laughing big-time, which they say is good for

my health.

3. Why is this being declared a victory for Condi?

Because the MSM is a puppet--- an organ of the occupation of the white house. Play nice or we feed no more stories to you-- then the media would actually have to *gasp* investigate and report on their own.

4. Not her first major victory...

Her first was in lying to the American people about the need to go to war in Iraq and getting away with it.

I am shocked how often the media gets it wrong.

This purple heart recall that's in the news is a good example. The first soldiers to get injured in Iraq were all given purple hearts without any real understanding to how they were suppose to be assigned. But, I think they did it in a hurry to bring "positive" attention/spin to their sacrifice. That's my opinion. Now that the occasion has served its purpose, they're recalling them.

Same thing with Condi. Someone pinch-hits for her and she steps into the game on third base and the media is ready to bring attention to a homerun that took others to develop.

5. like it wasn't a done deal before she even came on the scene, duh!

6. Peace in the ME, Version 947.03.

More shameless Bush promotion by MSM.

[Jacobin]

10. Yep

I'm sure this will finally be the end of violence in PalistineLand.

7. That's right, she organized the whole thing, she's a genius.

And this is pure horseshit.

[sabra]

8. I hope historians will look back, and realize it was based on circumstance

not her presence...

[Straight Shooter]

11. They hurried the process so they wouldn't have to deal with Condi.

Something on the order of, "We've really got to get these peace talks worked out before bush's handmaiden begins interfering and pushing everyone around like she owns the place."

12. From the great minds think alike we have the following thread:

I totally agree. I'd hate to see the administration get the credit for this one. Although they may have had Arafat "eliminated" for all we know.

13. our GOP owned news media will give her credit for an accord if

she is breathing. And if they start warring 3 weeks from now, she will not be blamed.

[Cleita]

14. Wait before you accept this as fact.

This adminstration habitually claims victory when it isn't true. Remember the mission accomplished photo op with Bush in the flight suit. Well, that war still rages on as well as many other victories that turn out not to be true.
