Rice: U.S. Message Focused on Democracy

[NVMojo]

yesterday it was Rummy taking the Democracy walk, today it is Condi ...the lying piece of ratshit ...

ASTANA, Kazakhstan (AP) -

The United States presses a consistent message of democracy for all, whether the audience is in Middle East or the Central Asian republics that once were part of the Soviet Union, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared Thursday.

At a press conference with strongman President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the U.S. top diplomat denied any suggestion that the main U.S. interests in Central Asia are oil and strategic leverage in the war on terrorism.

"We will press for free and fair elections here just as we press for free and fair elections everywhere in the world," Rice said.

9. I keep wondering too

Can we have some of that democracy or is it just for foreigners?

2. Fair elections just like we have here?

They plan to mend the trade deficit by exporting Diebold voting machines to everybody else in the world. There's just no substitute for good old American technology!

3. Consistent message:

Turn your republics into neocolonial polyarchies or we'll force you by the power of our armed forces, to do it.

See...consistent.

6. That harridan hasn't spoken a true word

in her entire adult life. I think she regards lying as an ideological duty. If She tried to tell the truth, it would swell up in her throat, lodge tight and fester, worm ridden and swollen until it died a horrible death.

7. Translation: We want to bring our dictatorship to the rest of the world.

We want it all.

8. Don't these goons realize...

that they are a joke all around the world. With the possible exception of Poland and Palau, NOBODY gives a damn what they say. Nobody is listening to America anymore.

11. "focused on." As in "taking aim through a scope and pulling the trigger"

12. Those rat bastards should be baking cakes with files in them...

FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, MY ASS!!!

Peace.

13. supporting democracy is easy: turn off arms & money to dictators

and don't overthrow democratically elected governments regardless of which corporate plantation owner gets their panties in a knot.
