Rice says U.S. making progress in terror fight

By ANNE GEARAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice claimed ‘‘considerable progress’’ in the global fight against terrorism as she prepared Tuesday to ask skeptical Arab governments to do more and to underwrite democracy in Iraq.

‘‘There’s been some real progress on some fronts and in other places the terrorists have continued to challenge democratic governments,’’ Rice said when asked about a State Department report showing terrorist attacks worldwide shot up more than 25 percent last year.

‘‘We’ll continue to fight that war. We’re making considerable progress,’’ Rice said.

The report Monday said terrorists killed 40 percent more people in 2006 than in 2005, particularly in Iraq where extremists used chemical weapons and suicide bombers to target crowds.

who gets to call who a terrorist?

[rpannier]

1. We are

More people are joining these groups everyday.

Thanks condi and george.

[merwin]

6. That is how they define progress... by the number of terrorists they can create.

Keep the war going full steam...

[Spinzonner]

2. Yep, we'll get all those terrorists

if every last Iraqi has to die in the process

:sarcasm:

[bdamomma]

15. every moslem is more like it, it's christians against moslems

this is bush's crusade, what a sick SOB this man is. He needs to be surgically removed.

[saltpoint]

3. I don't believe in 2000 a President Gore, or in 2004 a President Kerry

would have appointed such a spectacularly unqualified person as Condoleezza Rice to the Secretary of State post.

She just seems absent from her own duties, and not a little of the time.

[StarryNite]

4. bush and his evil empire

are the biggest terrorists of all.

[truthisfreedom]

5. Wow, Condi! That explains the enormous drops in terrorist attacks over the last year!

Stupid bitch.

[Massachusetts]

7. Incorrigible!

Condi is incorrigible, just like her main man.

[salin]

8. Of course she *say* that.

But given her proven credibility issues - it means absolutely nothing but admin propoganda.

[Magleetis]

9. Anything

but the truth.

[Thor_MN]

10. Well, a train that has derailed, plunging towards the ravine bottom IS still moving forward...

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. "Considerable progress" = a 25% increase in terrorist attacks (?!)

A few more years of BushCo's "progress" and the world may as well kiss their collective backsides goodbye.

[Roland99]

12. "some" real progress on "some" fronts. "making...progress"

Thanks for the details there, Kindasleazy. Preshadit.

[kurth]

13. She took a break from shopping to make this announcement?

Unbelievable.

[bdamomma]

14. she can fuck off too.

[kwassa]

16. and how do you measure progress, Condi? What is your yardstick?

What? You don't have one?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

17. Please feel free to list specific instances, Ms. Rice.

The more, the better. Make your case. I double-dog dare ya. I TRIPLE-dog dare ya.

[EnviroBat]

18. So when is this skank going to appear before congress?

Or has that issue been swept under the carpet already. This bitch should be arrested already!
