Condi Rics is all for gun control . . . in Baghdad. No guns in "private hands."
(In DC, though, probably not too much.)

After calling al-Sadr a coward for hiding out in Iran (had to get them in there somewhere), Rice got on to praising our good Shiite friend al-Maliki (and brave lion of the desert), kissing Jalal Talibani and then explained that al-Maliki's "government" had to go after all militias. (For "militias" read: The Mehdi army; not the Badr brigade, or the "Sons of Iraq" or anyother militia.)

"The prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20080420/wl_mcclatchy/2915454

Arms belonging to the state, not in "private hands."

Hmmm...what does the second amendment say: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" . . . yadee, yadee.

I thought everyone being armed was a prerequsite for a democratic state; espeically one we've spent five years, 4000 dead and about a trillion dollars to force into being.

4. She really ought to, what with her views on guns and according to the Wonkette
lives with a female "Stanford liberal documentary director who used to make liberal documentaries with Bill Moyers."

2. Only conservative white Americans are allowed to own guns
Black or brown people cannot be allowed to be armed.

3. This needs to be posted everywhere
in great big print.

For the benefit of some of my fellow gun owners who are always whining about how the Dems are gonna grab their guns.

You can see how condi & co. really feel about guns in the hands of private citizens in "any functioning democratic state". How fuckin obvious do they have to be.

The bush crime family does not want you to be armed. Wake the fuck up.

5. She is laying down the groundwork for a new strong man to take over
the country.

Brutal repression and loss of rights to return.

6. This from the same oganization that recently "lost"
110,000 military assault rifles and 90,000 Glock pistols in Iraq. Somewhere, someplace, somebody, meh, whatever.



Disarming the civilian population, especially those not of your political party, is an essential part of authoritarian regimes including the fascist BushCo. Fortunately for BushCo, the neocons, and the GOP they have Democrats willing and able to disarm the people, especially other Democrats!

11. Not just her mind... most DUer's minds, as well!
Which was their plan all along. What was it that Karl Rove said? Something about a 100-year Republican majority?

12. We see the truth BushCo try to hide
They hate democracy and are doing their level best to destroy it. And yes, that is their plan. Wrapped in the flag.

Rice is probably just the most frank in public about it.

13. If they're allowed to have weapons
Then they can't have "freedom and democracy" forced on them at the point of a gun.

That Condi is a genius.
