Condoleeza Rice: Democratic victory will not change our policies in Iraq.

[Poll_Blind]

From Ha'aretz Flash News:

06:06 Condoleeza Rice: Democratic victory will not change our policies in Iraq. (AP)

(This only exists, afaik, at Ha'aretz. A search of Google News doesn't turn up anything yet.)

  There was an interesting back and forth (the numbers are timestamps):

01:17 Olmert warns against a hasty U.S. withdrawal from Iraq (Haaretz)
06:06 Condoleeza Rice: Democratic victory will not change our policies in Iraq. (AP)

  Condi, sweetie, I don't think you can give assurances like that anymore. Your range of control has shrunk considerably in the last few days. Now, Bush comes on the tele and gets all sweet on working together with the Dems. I almost had my hand in his for a big kumbaya circle when I realized this dick and his buddies (some of them actually named 'Dick' as if their parents suspected it'd make referencing them easier later in life) are responsible for a staggering number of crimes against Liberty and The Constitution.

  No kumbaya for you!

  So this is the first international exchange I've seen on U.S. policy (in this case, Iraq) since the Democrats won and it's not so compliant. "Democratic victory will not change our policies in Iraq." Hrm. I think she's talking out her ass. Of course, Democrats have to start proving her wrong and its a little too soon to expect much. But I hope they do.

  I hope before the new year there's some movement to help us get out of this frightful, murderous mess. They administration is betting they can still call the shots.

  I'm not so sure that's a good bet, but they're known for throwing good money after bad, anyway.

1. Wanna' bet? (n/t)

[William769]

2. No fair! That was gonna be my answer.

:(

[Strathos]

32. I was gonna say the same thing

Condasleeza's rose colored glasses will let her down this time.

[PerceptionManagement]

39. See? This is why she should have been fired years ago.

She is just too f****** stupid to breath. There is not a single cognizant soul on the planet that could possible believe that policy won't change. It just defies credulity. When she yaps like that, like some sort of yippy dog, that people really do begin to fear that their government is being run by absolute fools. She is not helping, nor has she ever helped the republican party or America with those insipid, clueless, disingenuous utterances.

Her criminal ignorance and criminal incompetence should have led many to conclude that the biggest terrorist threat to the US existed mostly in the White House when Rice let loose with this insanne whopper:

"Bin Laden Determined to Strike inside US", and the entire memo focused on the possibility of terrorist attacks inside the US. In testimony before the 9/11 Commission, Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor to President Bush, stated to the commission that she and Bush considered the August 6th PDB as just an "historical document" and stated that it was not considered a "warning."

It's breath taking. And it's unforgivable that republicans would tolerate her.

3. She is on the TOAST LIST....she just don't know it yet...

[saigon68]

33. YES Toast this smile

[opihimoimoi]

41. She, She got those same LIPs like Ted Haggard...LIPS R US???

[Beacho]

4. No, condi, but it may change where you're employed

Clocks ticking, BIOTCH!

Yer going to be under oath this time

Do you need a tissue?

[Spinzonner]

5. OK, she's certifiable

Albert Einstein:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

[LynnTheDem]

6. Oh yes it will, dear.

Stupid MFer.

[NV Whino]

7. Condi, sweetie...

open mouth, insert foot. That is all.

[NOLADEM]

8. I think maybe she doesn't understand how an opposition held senate might work

This won't be anything like when McCain and Specter pretended to be mad at you Condi. This is subpoenas and hearings with Dems setting the rules for questions and lenghth and venue.

You can't spend a dime without Congress' approval either Condi.

You boss also has other things he wants to get done, and if they want to see even the light of day for debate, he will have to work with us, Condi.

I will enjoy watching her learn about checks and balances.

[Webster Green]

9. Bullshit!

We have a mandate & lots of political capital.

Condi is stuck in a pre 11/7 mindset.

Everything changed on 11/7.

[truthisfreedom]

12. Condi is stuck in a pre 11/7 mindset. Everything changed on 11/7. OOH, ME LIKEY!

i'm gonna use that one! thanks!

[Poll_Blind]

13. Very nice ideed! n/t

[Fovea]

10. Loss of funding

and congressional subpoena power in the hands of Conyers and Waxman, will, however.

[tnlefty]

11. The Princess of Death speaks...

maybe she can get re-employed in Iraq. Just to tidy things up a bit.

[uppityperson]

14. Yeah, and there are no plans to ask Rummy to resign either.

[IndianaGreen]

15. Condi is doing a heck of a job

and she will be joining Rummy and Bolton at the Happy Acress retirement home.

[lapfog_1]

16. Bush is said to have turned to his most trusted advisers in the

last few weeks... the women that love him. That would Laura, Condi, Karen, and Harriet.

They have replaced Rummy and Darth as the powers behind the throne.

In some ways, we could be entering a period where Bush becomes reclusive and bitter and even more stubborn then he has been to date.

[Lindacooks]

19. You forgot Mommy!

Oh, that's right - is Babs capable of love?

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Might change your finances, darlin'. n/t

[onehandle]

18. Shut up, Mrs Rumsfeld.

Have some dignity and fall on your sword.

[karleeque]

20. Shes a stinkin whore

She's stuck in Bush's delusion of terrorists and the war. When the criminals finally get tried for war crimes she's gonna be right there with em. She knew all about the plot to blow the towers.

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Welcome to DU

Yes, Condi knew. She sat and watched the attack go down with Cheney in his office in the WH and neither one lifted a finger to stop the attack while it was in progress.

[young_at_heart]

21. Condi (Mushroom Cloud) Rice has lost her clout

Will Bush still follow her advice? Her arrogance may have to drop a little now.

[antonialee839]

22. Shut up Condi. You and that husband of yours live in

the same fairy tale world. Face it, your reign of terror is about to end.

[BlueStater]

23. Oh, YES it will

Get used to it, Kindofaliar. WE have the power now.

[Hawkowl]

24. She's always lying

So, she REALLY means: There's no way we continue our policies in Iraq. What a fascist WHORE!

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. What is the spread on that bet honey?

1:10 that it DOES?

[w4rma]

27. It seems that this will be a learning lesson for the GOP leadership and their cronies. (nt)

[rodeodance]

28. Bush clearly said we will support Irag (press conf on Wed).

[caledesi]

29. The most powerful woman in politics now is Speaker-elect Pelosi!

Hear that Condi? Go shoe-shopping; you will be under oath soon.

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

30. The War on Slaughter will soon be at it's end.

Lack of funding tends to do that to your Cabal's little Oilfest Destiny.

Oh, did I mention YOU do not get to tell US what to do any longer, stupid?

[dipsydoodle]

31. BBC - Analysis: Iraq debate transformed

Unease over the situation in Iraq has been building for some time. But in the run-up to US elections it exploded into public view.

James Baker, the former US Secretary of State, began to drop hints as to what his high-powered Iraq Study Group might recommend once the elections were out of the way.

He implied that stability was a more realistic goal than democracy. He apparently favours co-opting Iraq's neighbours - including Iran and Syria.

34. Condi needs to shut her pie hole at least for a few days until the subpeonas can

be prepared. Then she can tell the American People what she knows about the failed Bush foreign policy.

[samsingh]

35. it already has - rummy is gone, bolton to follow

[Norquist Nemesis]

36. Keep talkin' Condi! That foreign object in your mouth is

your foot!

[Javaman]

37. Yeah right no chance, stay with that thought...

Condi, I have never ever had an original idea ever, rice is proving to be the mindless out of touch fool that she really is. No sooner do we win EVERYTHING rumspuke is out and moron* releases a statement saying that we are handing over security to the Iraqi's at the end of 07. Yup, nothing has changed. Sure, miss delusional rice needs to get a brain scan.

[Jacobin]

38. Neo cons never let reality get in their way

Condi, you ass, your pursestrings are about to be trimmed. Deal with it. Better yet, resign and get a job at Bob Jones U.

[williesgirl]

40. Dear Condi: as of Jan., guess who holds the purse strings for your illegal war!

fuck you.

[warrens]

42. Dream on, asshole

You and Cheney are next to get thrown to the dogs, you idiot.
