DR. Rice bitches out U.N.: "The time to reform is now & we must seize it!"


The United Nations must make itself more relevant to tackle 21st century problems and should condemn as terrorists those who target civilians whatever their cause, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Saturday...

Rice, in her first speech before the General Assembly, called on the 191 nations to try harder. "The time to reform the United Nations is now," she said. "And we must seize this opportunity together!"

Rice said, "No cause, no movement, and no grievance can justify the intentional killing of innocent civilians and noncombatants. This is unacceptable by any moral standard."

1. Get rid of the -----

Her actions remind me of my studies on Attila, the Hun.

She sent our kids off to die in Iraq without a second thought based on her mushroom cloud scare tactics. She has no credibility.

2. You got that right. She has a hell of a nerve lecturing on peace.
Go buy more shoes, "Condi", the world hates you.

7. She's got one mean look on her face
Like "do as I say" or I'll stomp you with my $1,000 pumps that I bought when NO was being flooded.

15. I'm thinking Genghis Khaaaaaan: "send your men to fight instead
of our horsemen or we'll massacre your women and children." Sounds like Central America.

3. Is she auditioning for a play? Who does she think she's kidding?
Trying to tap dance all the killings on her time card?

face.

Did you hear about her shopping trip in New York, apparently they had to save her from angry people in the store.

She was being verbally assaulted by rich New Yorkers, why does that make me smile?

10. Talking tough. She's "auditioning" for Dick Cheney's VP role. He's gonna
hang it up when the announcement can help Chimpy the most. Dick's laying the ground work for his swan song.

Condi's displaying her mettle as a "no nonsense" politician.

4. If they hadn't sent Bolton
the UN would have had the reforms by now. The very reforms the US has wanted for years, the UN was ready to deliver, and that Bolton killed.

8. The plan is...
... to, now that Bolton is in, browbeat the UN into doing what the US wants, which most of those 191 nations know full well isn't at all good for them or their citizens.

Kindasleezza scolds, Bush wheedles, Bolton tyrannizes. A real good cop/bad cop routine. Don't think it's going to work too well. Wonder when this bunch is going to figure out that the rest of the world likes them a whole lot less than their worst enemies in this country.... :shrug:

13. Great post
Bolten and Rice are seen as political pawns being moved by political idiots. They will be part of W's horror legacy.

16. Why shouldn't they?
W has laughed at them since Day 1 until he realized we can't make it without them.

14. " should condemn as terrorists those who target civilians"
Nice quote. (Irony seems to be LOST on "Doctor" Rice, dunnit?)

Or should I say, "nice of you to admit your guilt,
you soulless, murdering-for-profit, baby-killing, MAMMON-kissing Power-whore!"

The pitchfork-toting MOB who eventually string her up
with a noose made from her own intestines should introduce
that quote as "exibit A" in their defense.

I will vote to acquit on all counts.

19. I have no doubt that they were absolutely LOVELY.
I would really like to see how they look
when they ALMOST (but not quite) reach the floor.
