Condi Rice on History International

[WillyBrandt]

Talking about Stalin --

Good thing we have as our NSA a person whose specialty isn't Latin America, or Asia, or European integration, or the Arab world, or even a general International Relations theorist--but a specialist on the Soviet Fucking Union.

What next? A railroad exec to head Treasury? Oh...

1. Why not?

Look what we have as a pResident!

[tabasco]

2. Next they'll put a Star Wars geek in charge of the entire military!

Oh, wait - they already did that.

3. Her problem isn't that she is an expert on the former Soviet Union.

Let's be precise. She is plenty smart and capable enough to do her job well. She chose not to.

Her problem is that she is a lying traitor who led her country into an unjust war. The blood of many U.S. soldiers and thousands of Iraqis are on her hands. She is an evil idealogue, a war criminal, and should be behind bars.

Remember being told as a child that there are no REAL monsters? Well, she and her kind ARE the real monsters.

4. No, I think she's incompetent too

University Administration and empty thinktankery is pretty shitty preparation for her job. Her corrupt nature, whether inherited or acquired, and the administration she worked for certainly did its part.
