Someone explain this to me: Why isn't "Russian expert" Condi Rice doing anything about Russia?? |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-29-07 12:34 AM by gauguin57
... OK ... Vladimir Putin is threatening to take Russia right back to the bad old Soviet days ... being bellicose with the West, threatening its neighbors, etc. ...
Condi Rice is supposedly this big Russia expert (that was supposed to be her area of study and expertise).
Yeah, I know she has big fish to fry in the Middle East, but WHY do we not see her doing ANYTHING about relations with Russia? We're gonna be in another Cold War any day now, and this "Russian expert" seems to be doing nothing at all about it.
WHAT GIVES?

2. Do you think might be because WAR and Conflict is what they make their money on? |
|
The Bush Crime Family was founded by Prescott, you know Hitler's Banker.
George had to join the air force after the government seized the family assets for trading with the enemy.
Then George Sr. Headed the CIA and was responsible for such atrocities as snuffing JFK and Iran / Contra.
The the evil Soviet Block fell and they were out of enemies.
Thus they ginned up OBL and the Islamic terrorist threat.
They are only happy spreading death destruction and opportunities for looting.

5. There never were any good Kremlinologists. |
|
So Rice being known as a 'good' one should have been taken as clear proof that she wasn't much of an expert about anything at all.
Sadly, this is the kind of expert Bush likes.

11. The Military industrial complex needs to put missiles in |
|
these counties to protect us from global........... warming. :sarcasm:
Which we pay for with our taxes to protect us from a new enemy................. Missiles that might come from some where from an African or Asian nation let alone Russia....
Poor Eastern Europeans get a sweet $ deal by allowing the US to do that.
Guess who pays?
Guess what companies make missiles?
Guess what the military industrial complex achieves in this escalation of fear.?

20. Yep U.S. taxpayers pay for fear that should not exist |
|
but as long as the industrialists and the GOP promote fear, and they have their sheeple shaking, we're stuck with the price tag. I haven't me a republican I've admired in years.

22. This is an issue that the big three don't talk about honestly |
|
Hillary, Obama and even Edwards talk like it is 1977 with Corporations. I find no real talk on corporatism or the complex system that drives this failing system that is not providing answers to this planet.
This is one of the major reasons that the American citizens independence, freedoms and liberties are being destroyed let alone the planet's chance to achieve the same in order to provide for the common welfare.

15. There are articles to back you up which should make everyone think. |
|
I've seen them and will make a point of posting some of them tomorrow, but we should all be worried, again, about the relationship that's disintegrating between the US and Russia, and thanks, Condi, for being the go-between. Ineffectual, as usual.

18. Ms. Rice is a joke to the leaders of Russia. |
|
They view her the same way most of here do: A useless person that blathers nonsense that her boss Busholini instructs her blather. She was promoted to her position because of her gender and ethnicity and her willinglness to catapult the propaganda of the Regime. She is the token of this Fascist Regime, as was Colon. He was fired because he didn't click his heels smartly enough.

I didn't see either of Rice's appearances on Sunday morning -- did she say ANYTHING about Russia?

26. Yep, a total incompetent |
|
that's skated on afirmative action her race and gender while all the while putting as much distance between she and they as possible. Sucking corporate cock all the while, how anyone could ever put any confidence in anyone remotely connected with bushco unless they are members of the same worthless class is beyond me. My most feverent wish is to live in a world free of corporations, upper classes, militaries, etc... nothing but clean air, water, food, no want, no hunger, no stupidity, I guess that's asking too damn much though.

21. Well, somebody finally asked the 1,000,000 question |
|
Congradulations...now I wonder if anybody knows the answer.
Maybe this is exactly what they want. They think they can rally the country with another cold war, but this crowd will fuck that up too.
They've already tried World War II without the sacrifices from the the rich. That hasn't panned out.
