Rice heads to Mideast on latest peace mission

Wed Sep 19, 4:07 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice heads to the Middle East on Wednesday pledging to organise a "serious and substantive" conference to advance the cause of Israel-Palestinian peace.


She is due to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on her sixth visit to the region so far this year to revive peace talks and prepare for the US-sponsored conference this autumn.

"This meeting has to, in a substantive way, support the activities and the efforts of the parties to lay the foundations for the negotiation of a Palestinian state as soon as possible," she told journalists travelling with her to the Middle East.

"I think everybody expects it to be serious and substantive. I think everybody expects it to address critical issues and we do not expect anything less."

16. She is truly useless.
Please, someone, ANYONE, tell me one thing that she has accomplished in either job she has held with this administration. If I thought she was flying commercial airlines, I'd say she'd have built up enough frequent flyer miles to buy her own airline.

She hasn't come close to negotiating anything yet! Must be a Persian rug sale or something.

11. I imagine this phoney peace initiative is gonna finally piss off the Arab
world so much that they break off relations with the US, switch all transactions to euros and begin a world-wide boycott of US goods and markets.

(Just so when Condi later says "No one could have imagined that ...")

18. When this cold-blooded freak finally leaves office maybe we
can get her to repay the Republic for all the jet fuel she has been wasting all these years. I think if she works at a Kwik Stop she might be able to repay us in about 500 years.
