Travels with Doctor Condi! Now you, too, can keep track of all her accomplishments!
29 countries! (And how pathetic is it to list a "fuel stop"?) And I'm sure she has a lot to show for it. Here, I am providing this link as a cross-reference (you're welcome!) so you can look up the possible "deals" she made:

Has there ever been a Secretary of State who has traveled more and achieved less?

1. That's why gas is expensive...
The refueling dates don't coincide with trips she was on.

I wonder if that is accidentally listing her as refueling when they were just using her plane for renditions.

3. Accomplishments? I can't think of a single damn one.
Every talk or conference she attends seems to spiral off into limbo. The only thing I can think of that she's accomplished is to neutralize the State Department as the U.S. foreign policy apparatus. That job is now done by the Defense Department.

5. I dunno, somehow I'd kind of expect the diplomacy of overnighters to fail.
Maybe it's just me.

Damn, there's some good shopping in those places, though!
