Condi just said that the Geneva Conventions don't apply to those who don't

[Renew Deal]

follow the Geneva Conventions. (paraphrase)

Our war is technically illegal. So does that mean it doesn't apply to us? Fucking hypocrites.

[Cha]

1. May I add.."fucking" hypocritical

LIARS?!!

[bahrbearian]

2. That look she is giving Boxer scares the shit out of me.

Watch your back Barbara.

[complain jane]

3. Go Boxer

she's ripping Kindasleazy a new one.

[Todd B]

8. Agreed!

We might end up seeing Barbara in Gitmo next week after this grilling.

;)

The more and more I hear Condi, the more and more I dispise that lying, manipulative woman - how can some blunder intelligence so badly and get promoted? She is the most incompetent person on the planet (and that's hard to achieve when you're in the freaking BUSH ADMINISTRATION!).

10. The same way that Brenner & Tennet were awarded medals!

You just don't understand the White Hosue criteria! If you really know what you're doing, we don't want you! You might know more than we do, and that sure doesn't fint our program! If you screw up really bad, we'll give you the highest reward possible.

13. She shouldn't go on an airplane for a while

Be like Madden and take an RV everywhere.

[tridim]

4. She also implied that the prisoners in Abu Ghraib were Al Qaeda

When asked about Abu Ghraib her response was something like, "The Geneva Conventions don't apply to Al Qaeda".

5. She said that "we" did not think the Geneva Conventions applied

to these types of prisoners. (in other words, they deserved to be tortured at "our" discretion, and in complete disregard of international law, and the Geneva Convention)

Boxer said she wanted to hear from "you" not Bush or whjat Bush thought.

This after Boxer explicity noted that the prisoners who were tortured were set free.

Boxer got her good with that letter. All that Rice could do was glare at her, and Boxer controlled the entire questioning period, and did not allow Rice to drone on and on with nonsensical, inappropriate PhD speak. Her whole testimony today was proven a mockery, once Boxer revealed the letter was sent last week and the paragraph removed because of Rice's intervention,even though it passed with a 100% majority in the Senate.

Cool that Boxer also quoted Ari Fleisher and the WMD.

6. Condi Lies alot..........

[Al-CIAda]

7. What I don't understand is why IRAQI CITIZENS are being mixed up w/"Al Que

What I don't understand is why IRAQI CITIZENS are being mixed up w/"Al Queda"...These are regular CITIZENS (not terrorists).

Liezza's attempt to fuse them together in the public min is what has been going on all along.

9. Illegal War

What is a legal war? That sounds so weird to me, a legal war. What makes a war legal or illegal? Seems to me that if we want to go kick ass in a foreign land, shouldn't we be able to? I mean if we have nothing else to do and we're kinda bored with small town life and we need a little oomph in our life. Kinda beats the hell out of watching reruns of Facts of Life. Plus our young generation needs some good stories to tell their grandkids.

Wonder if the American GI's are partaking of Iraqi women's favors like they did in Vietman.

11. Hi ErinGoBraghLess!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Renew Deal]

12. Legal war

is basically war authorized by a UN vote. That's my understanding.

[ErinGoBraghLess]

15. Legal War

Then I guess all wars before the U.N. were illegal! :)

Thanks for the kind welcome! This place is kind of addictive!

[KoKo]

14. CONDI IS A NAZI....CONDI IS A NAZI....CONDI IS A NAZI...keep repeating

because, no matter how many times she was asked as "human" she never ONCE Repugdiated Torture.

She never once didn't get into "Legalise," about the 21st Century..and her view of the New Model for Foreign Policy.

CONDI IS A NAZI...ship em out with the stars on their armbands...they are VERMIN and rules don't apply to Rag Heads..nee Jews...She would have thrived in Hitler's Germany. Condi is a Nazi.

16. It's not about an agreement

it's about what we are as Americans, what values we hold.

If we use the excuse that "they did it first" then we become no better. Any claim to moral superiority is gone, if it ever existed.
