Iraq Conflict Feeds International Terror Threat
http://www.skyhen.org/Focus/iraqcoverage/cia_iraq_conflict_feeds_international_terror_threat.php

But a clear majority of Americans KNEW this would be the result; we are all LESS SAFE NOW BECAUSE OF BUSH;

62 percent of Americans thought that the threat of terror would increase if the U.S. takes military action against Iraq.

But of course rice knows better than the vast majority of people on this planet. :eyes:

[KingFlorez]

1. She knows that

She just wants to play pretend

[CuteNFuzzy]

8. She also knows

That, just enough Americans aren't paying attention

[City Lights]

10. Hiya, CuteNFuzzy!

:hi: Welcome to DU! :hi:

[jpak]

32. They will pay attention when gas hits $5 a gallon

n/t

[Aviation Pro]

2. I always note....

...that when Condomlezza and KGB Vlad are in close proximity to each other that she NEVER speaks to him in her supposed fluent Russian. (Perhaps because, like Asshole's Spanish, she only has a nodding acquaintance with the language).

[TomInTib]

5. Maybe she could play the theme from "Dr Zhivago" on a baby grand

while ice skating.

What a propped-up farce.

[Clark2008]

22. The song is, "Somewhere My Love."

I know it - it's my namesake. :hi:

[Canuckistanian]

25. I thought it was called "Lara's Theme"

There were no lyrics in the movie version.

[Clark2008]

28. It's "Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme)

(Which gives away my name, doesn't it?)

Lyrics are:


Somewhere, my love
There will be songs to sing
Although the snow
Covers the hope of spring
Somewhere a hill
Blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams
All that your heart can hold

Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through

You'll come to me out of the long ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then my sweet
Think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again

Lara my own, think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again

[caledesi]

26. Condi cannot speak or write Russian. This is from a "Russian

scholar!"

[Aviation Pro]

33. Konecho...

...ona he mozhet russkij yazik, ne pisat' nebo ne chitat'.

[file83]

3. Israel OVER REACTING? I'd say they are just following in Bush's footsteps

Monkey see.
Monkey do.

[EFerrari]

4. This was something that needed proving?! Hard to imagine.

[Justice Is Comin]

6. Well now

heh heh heh...there you go again LTD. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

[fasttense]

7. Oh yeah, little rice-cakes has been just oh so successful in world

diplomacy that we should just ignore the facts and take her word for it, even when it's not in her oh so fluent Russian. :sarcasm:

[kentuck]

9. Is Israel less 'safe"?

I would say "Yes". It was a blunder.

[Octafish]

11. Rice did a nice job leading up to 9-11, too.

The Condoleeza Rice Hot Seat

http://whereisthemoney.org/hotseat/condoleezzarice.htm

Thanks for the great thread, LynnTheDem.

Very Old School: It's filled with Truth.

Contrast with...

BORN LIAR

[bleever]

17. That's a great letter at that link.

And it was written before we learned that there had been FIFTY warnings about the possibility of hijacked planes being crashed into buildings.

[enigmacat]

12. She's always given me the impression of being in way over her head.

[Cha]

13. Ooooops!

con rice looked in the mirror.

[gademocrat7]

14. just like her husband unqualified and unfit to serve.

[MissWaverly]

15. she said that Bush is "fully engaged"

What does that mean, he has not talked to the Israeli PM, the Brits are sending troops
to Lebanon, even Putin is "actively involved" is this fully engaged mean that he is pulling
a Katrina.

[Joanne98]

19. Yeah. Beiruit is becoming New Orleans...

[grannylib]

30. I think it means he's got his hand engaged on his dick...he sure doesn't

have any working gears between his ears.

[MissWaverly]

31. he's wating for things to blow apart

Most Americans to be evacuated Weds, he waiting for American casualties so he can have another
9-11 moment right in time for elections

[BlueJac]

16. Just another foolish oil executive......

Willing to use our troops to fight anyone, anywhere for oil profits, not for the phony cause of spreading freedom. Freedom is on the march, but it is sadly marching right out of this country.

[Stardust]

18. Condoscenda Rice

[Joanne98]

20. That describes her perfectly....

[ooglymoogly]

21. she is just one in an administration that believes

if you shout loud enough you can create a reality that has nothing to do with fact but is built totally on fantasy. most people call it lunacy...crazy...crazy as a lune...bonkers...insane...one pot short of a crock...a crock of sh*t...deluded...and yet these people are running our country right down into hell...so on our way to total disaster...go figure

[Kurovski]

23. K&R.(nt)

[Hubert Flottz]

24. Bush don't want anyone working for him that will not lie!

KKKondie lies better than Colin Powell, so Powell hit the road!

[petgoat]

27. It's not the idea that's grotesque. The fact is grotesque.

Condi lied to the faces of the 9/11 widows when she said the 8-6-01 "Bin Laden
Determined to Strike in US" memo did not warn of new attacks.

According to Die Zeit, the memo was not a page and a half but was actually
11 pages.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1388317

And now it's come out that a CIA guy came to Crawford to tell Bush how important
the memo was, and Bush's response was to say "OK, you've covered your ass."
Then he went fishing.

[Clarkie1]

29. K & R. nt
