As Mideast Smoke Clears, Political Fates May Shift

......Yet America's image abroad emerges from the crisis badly battered, in part due to prolonged negotiations widely perceived in the Arab world as deliberate to allow Israel to pursue its military agenda -- with U.S.-manufactured weaponry, analysts said.

Rice's comment on the conflict as part of the "birth pangs" of a new Middle East was particularly "crude, insensitive and cruel," said Rami G. Khouri, an analyst and columnist for Beirut's Daily Star newspaper. "She was basically seen as saying you have to kill Arabs to remake them and you have to allow Israel to destroy Arab movements to make better nations.

"If it is a new Mideast, it won't be the one she is expecting," Khouri said, particularly coming after deeply troubled U.S.-led efforts to transform Iraq, the Palestinian territories and Afghanistan.

After the July 30 Israeli airstrike on Qana that killed at least 28 civilians, a large banner went up in downtown Beirut depicting Rice with sharp fangs and blood flowing from her mouth. "The massacre of children in Qana is a gift from Rice," it said.,,,

1. Condoleezza Rice could probably drive a bus route through Davenport,

Iowa but I think she's in way over her head as Secretary of State.

I don't blame the Lebanese one bit for their position on our sweet Condi.

Edited for spelling. I never seem to get the right number of z's in Rice's name. I go blank when I try to type her first name. So as long as I'm in town, I think I'll stock up on z's to set aside for any future spelling screw-ups. Here they are:

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There. I hope you're happy, Condi. I never had to do this for Bob Dole.

4. Hi, elliswyatt. And welcome to these boards. DU's a good place.

On Condi. I think she could handle the bus route job in Davenport, but she'd have to be watched closely.

Her file indicates she only makes Right turns.
