[xchrom]

1. too late.

[BooScout]

2. Yep.....way too late.

Two weeks too late.

[xchrom]

10. she has left ashes in everyone's mouth.

[saigon68]

26. She has something else in her mouth

[xchrom]

27. lol -- stop that!

[IndianaGreen]

35. Bush's tallywhacker?

Condi belongs in a jail cell at The Hague.

[xultar]

3. Buhwawawawawawawawawawa!

[PFunk]

4. Way to late....

But better late than never in this case. Though the damage has been done hopefully the killing will finially stop.

[rodeodance]

5. WHOW--that was quick Her visit was just cancelled.

[SoCalDem]

61. Revoke her frequent flyers' miles

:P

[countryjake]

6. Condi's Nobel Prize is buried under the rubble in Qana!

Maybe she should go look for it there?!

[saigon68]

11. A Nobel Prize for that skunk ?

They shoudn't offer her a yellow ribbon at the county fair

What has this War Criminal done, except hasten the deaths of hundreds of children?

[countryjake]

14. You should have heard the President of Lebanon on CNN just now...

by telephone, the commentator asked him why he didn't want Ms. Rice to come to Lebanon.

"There is no place on this sad morning for any discussion other than an immediate and unconditional ceasefire as well as the international investigation into the Israeli massacres in Lebanon now."

I'm sure he must have been looking out his window at the demonstrators as he spoke.

Condi is just as responsible for the terror that has come down on Qana (again) as the bastards who dropped those bombs!

[saigon68]

24. Its sad so many children have to die

[WillieDee]

29. The Freepers are cheering on the killing...

They seem to hope that Israel is just getting started.

I don't think the deaths of the children in Qana will affect Bush in the slightest. He only cares about "snowflake" babies. The brown ones can fend for themselves.

[newspeak]

59. so, I think the freepers need to go

and put their money where their mouth is----go buy a one way ticket to hell (I mean, take your choice, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Israel--and join in the "FUN." I MEAN IT MUST BE EXCITING, LIKE THOSE SHOOT EM UP, BANG, BANG VIDEO GAMES YA'LL PLAY. Go join the "fun", but don't expect my family to join in--because there is nothing, nothing as depraved as murdering others, especially children!!!!!! And, if I hear one more person say "well, that's just war", I'm going to become a "screaming blue meanie" right back--NO, it is not just war--for if it was YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHILDREN, then maybe ya'll wouldn't be shrugging your apathetic shoulders and thinking it was just war!!!!!

[saigon68]

64. I think the chimp is aroused by tales of brown people fried to a crisp

He need violence to obtain arousal.

[ananda]

46. a yellow dog's tail

is appropriate for Condi.

A jail cell is appropriate for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the war criminals.

[BooScout]

7. Now Jeruselum is saying she hasn't called for a ceasefire

Reporter in Jereselum is now saying they are hearing she HAS NOT called for a ceasefire.

[rodeodance]

9. damm

[rodeodance]

8. a second whow. and thank the goddesses-and gods

[Violet_Crumble]

12. Rice says "time for ceasefire" after Qana bombing

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, speaking after the Israeli bombing of the Lebanese village of Qana, said it was time for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas.

She said she was saddened by the bombing and confirmed that she had canceled a planned trip to Beirut, but would stay in Israel to try to work out a deal for ending the 19-day-old conflict.

[BooScout]

13. Thanks for the link. n/t

[rodeodance]

15. way way past time Ms. Condi

[countryjake]

16. Not too late to charge her with complicity in war crimes, tho!

[KyndCulture]

32. AMEN to that.

[mom cat]

38. So Rice "wants" a ceasefire, but the Israelis have not agreed.

:grr: How many more children do they want to kill?

[rodeodance]

17. I wonder if she woke her bubby up for a conference?

[izzie]

18. To little to late. If and I say IF the USA had any good well left

it is now gone. We seem to have shown our true colors. We are a military empire and we are going to do as we like and the rest of the world can go to hell. And it does not look like we have one Dem. that dares to say a thing about it but just to sort of go along with what ever the War Party wants. Now Condi will try to say she is a peace loving person as the USA is and the world is laughing.

[w4rma]

19. She might actually do something right ... after 3 weeks of stalling

and death.

[lindisfarne]

20. On BBC, they said she's NOT calling for immediate ceasefire, just the

same ceasefire (at some point in future after all US/Israel terms are met) she's been calling for all along (same terms).

[lindisfarne]

21. Please fix title of thread - no immediate or unconditional ceasefire

has been called for by Rice.

[BooScout]

22. Done.....

They did say that though earlier..........too much to hope for I know. Same old bullshit from her.

[chiffon]

23. She and this administration never had ANY credibility. n/t

[w8liftinglady]

25. do not allow these war criminals to spin this

36. but that is all they know how to do.

watch them twist it in a way to blame Iran for a US laser guided missile shot from a US supplied F-1g by an Israeli pilot under orders to destroy that building in a christian part of town.
bastards

[DoYouEverWonder]

28. The real news is that she canceled her next visit

Maybe she should have asked for that ceasefire last week before more innocents were killed?

Oh that's right, it would have only been a fake ceasefire and these kids might still be alive.

[KyndCulture]

30. ppppphhhhhhhttttt who is she kidding?

too little too late.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

31. 27 children MURDERED!

Thank you Condi and George. You must be so proud.

[KyndCulture]

33. ah hell that's just...

collateral damage.

I'm just SICK SICK SICK about this.

[BooScout]

49. no....even worse......37 n/t

[tabasco]

34. Rice: "We nad no idea that buildings full of children would be bombed!"

What a clueless little puppet she is.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

37. had we known what room, what floor, and the exact address with

the COMPLETE zipcode, things might have been different. But since the terra-ists deliberately hid the potential collateral damage there in a way that only Iranians and terror groups like H'Zbullah do, this unfortunate event took place. All responsibility lies with Iran and Lebanon.


I wish we had a tear-filled icon here. I cannot express my cold anger at the Israelis and the Bush-Rice criminal organization.
It is now up to 37 children dead.

[Hissyspit]

41. "We had no idea planes would be used as weapons..."

She's not clueless, she's a liar.

[Marie26]

51. Did she really say that?

I can't tell the difference between sarcasm & reality anymore when it comes to this Administration.

[prole100]

39. Rice's Proxy Military (Israel) Just Embarrassed Der Fuhrer

Too many dead children is bad for approval ratings.

[onehandle]

40. This task is so beneath her...

Here's what she Really wants beneath her.

[Miss Chybil]

42. She canceled her trip because the Lebonese PM told her not to come. nt

[Miss Chybil]

43. CNN said US still refuses to call for cease fire. nt

[Rose Siding]

44. “We all recognize this kind of warfare is extremely difficult"

“We all recognize this kind of warfare is extremely difficult,” she said, noting it comes in areas where civilians live. “It unfortunately has awful consequences sometimes.”

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14101886/

So difficult that if you're the person who could demand an end to it, you have to take a musical holiday instead.

:cry:

[mcscajun]

57. Hmmmm....like there's ever warfare that's easy, that has NO

"awful consequences"?

Wake the Fuck UP, Condi, you lying weasel!

[gorbal]

45. Meanwhile, thousands die in Iraq

A little to convenient that this war draws away everyones attention from the thousands dying in Iraq every month. (over 3,000 in June alone)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0607190193jul19,1,6373058.story?coll=chi-newsnationworld-hed

[MindMatter]

47. The stalling was intentional

The Bush administration (a wholly owned subsidiary of AIPAC) will not actually push for a real cease fire until Israel informs the USA that they are done inflicting their collective punishment on Lebanon. Give us a few more days. Surely there must be a few more babies we can kill.

[YankeyMCC]

48. So what...they didn't think

something like Qana was going to happen in a conflict like this? Of course it's going to happen that why you call for a cease fire Right from the F-ing Star Nimrods!

Taking a look at her and this administrations actions thus far in this crisis there are only two conclusions (as usually with this bunch of bozos) either their nasty bastards or f-ing ignoramuses.

[Marie26]

50. Nice headline

That's BS. She's trying to give the appearance of wanting a cease-fire, while actually acting as a stonewaller behind the scenes to allow Israel more time. If any reporter actually asked what the conditions are for her "cease-fire", it'd probably have more clauses & conditions than a sports agency contract. We don't want a ceasefire - but we'll still pretend that we do for the cameras.

[Doctor_J]

52. Dang. This wasn't on Rove's calendar until October 9

I hate these people

[NVMojo]

54. hate barely describes what I am feeling right now ...I am sick of this

fuckers!

[angryxyouth]

53. Pictures of the dead children need to flood the MSM

This is not war, it is genocide:mad: :mad: :mad:

[riverwalker]

55. Exactly

All we are seeing is Wolf Blitzer reporting from his air conditioned Kibbutz.

[ryanmuegge]

56. Flip...flop

I thought they were putting off supporting a ceasefire in favor of a "long-term solution" in the Middle-East.

Anyway, I guess the fighting in Lebanon is getting to the point where the administration feels that it could be politically damaging. This is no longer a welcomed diversion from Iraq; it's becoming damaging in PR terms. That's the whole reason for this flip-flop to calling for a "pointless" ceasefire.

[Barkley]

60. Flip-flop is that how a pair of $5000.00 Faragamos sounds? -nt

[troubleinwinter]

58. Condi' manicure....

[rocktivity]

62. It is the perogative of even a Republical woman to change her mind.

:eyes:
rocknation

[Ilsa]

63. I want to fucking scream it from the rooftops!

This is what we've been trying to say! Any ceasefire will save lives!
