Rice speaks gibberish just as well as smirk does

Is Condi Crazy?
Ridiculous Rice

-large snip-

On one of the days on which she should have been at the ASEAN conference she appeared on The NewsHour with Tim Lehrer and threw darkness on US policy and the Rice approach to women's rights in Iraq. The exchange was fascinating :

Lehrer : In a general way, though, is it conceivable that the United States, in the interest of bowing out and letting the Iraqi people have their way, you may have to swallow a constitution that, whatever it is, has to do with rights of women or whatever, has some things in it that go against the grain of the United States?

Rice : Well, we are going to stand for the principles that we're standing for around the world, and most especially in Iraq, where America has sacrificed and sacrificed lives and treasure. And so, of course, we're going to stand and stand strongly for the rights of women. We're making that very clear to the Iraqi Government. But again, if the Iraqis themselves, who want to live in a society in which there are -- in which citizens of both male and female and where they recognize that the trend in the world is not to move away from women's rights but to move in the other direction.

This pathetic gibberish was spouted by the Secretary of State of the United States of America who chose to be interviewed on a news program rather than attend Asia's most important gathering. (The Asians didn't miss much, obviously.) She capped her grotesque performance by stating on August 8 that "It's a lot easier to see the violence and suicide bombing than to see the rather quiet political progress that's going on in parallel", which was a comment of mind-boggling absurdity.

we have to remember that all the times CNN runs those love stories about Condi it's propaganda.

1. I had to read it twice
I got the message that she's in favor of women's rights, and apparently she's counting on blind faith that the Iraqis would create a western style system in their constitution.

She knows better from every time an Iraqi politician refuses her hand or averts their eyes in a state meeting.

3. A superlative example of a lack of education--grade inflation, best
