LOL -Ladies and Gentlemen Your Secretary of State!!!
What a great photo.



US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice poses with members of the Afghanistan military during a visit to the Pakistan Air Force base in Chaklala to witness quake relief efforts. Rice, currently in Kazakhstan, said that Central Asia's economic development must go hand in hand with more democratisation. Kazakhstan is the last stop on Rice's tour of Central Asian countries and followed an unscheduled visit to quake-ravaged Pakistan(AFP/US Navy/HO)

5. If those women she is standing with are indeed 'members of the Afghanistan
military'.. then it is a pretty good photo.. The women aren't forced to wear burkas- and they are holding jobs.

7. Well, at least Condi looks happy
I wonder what kind of bet those three women lost that made them have to be in that photo op. The one of the right looks like she is going to ring someone's neck.

8. There's nothing to be happy about yet...
Condisleeza mindlessly grins away. The other day her main point was how the US $$ etc. shows the compassion of the American people.
Tens of thousands dead and all she can do is spin it. Compassion is not a trait unique to the USA and this administration is more likely to espouse revenge rather show compassion.

So nice of her to make the unscheduled photo op...such 'compassion'.

15. "Compassion is not a trait unique to the USA"
this is true, but at some point in our history it was something we were BEST known for. Of course, the war on terra changes things :sarcasm:
