Condi: Critics of U.S. military force against Iran are "short sighted"

[Human Torch]

A group of former diplomats and retired generals called on President George W. Bush to open negotiations with Iran , warning that the use of military force would have catastrophic consequences for the region. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice , seen here on 11 August 2006, earlier this month brushed off critics of the administration policies as short-sighted.(AFP/File/Stan Honda)

1. Why not start a third war, since we lost Iraq & are losing Afghanistan?

Bush has failed at everything he has tried to do, so why don't we let this moron fail once again on another misguided military adventure. Way to support the troops, Georgie boy!

[Warren Stupidity]

10. 4 if you count the fuckup in Lebanon. nt.

[theanarch]

20. 5? Do i hear 5? Can't leave Syria unobliterated, now...

...can we? Or 6? What about North Korea...oh, that's right: they have functioning nukes with real warheads, don't have any oil, and aren't Izlamizoids...

[IndianaGreen]

21. War #7: the invasion of Venezuela

War #8: the liberation of Cuba.

As long as they keep the troops from returning home, the will have plenty of canon fodder available.

[Submariner]

2. A truly EVIL POS

Her warmongering just disgusts me. What crap!

[acmejack]

12. If these people had to actually put their asses on the line...

I can't help but think that these people would have a different appreciation of the application of military force if they had ever participated in the direct use thereof. From their perspective it is a neat, clean exercise. They need to have a better appreciation of the pain, grief and suffering which accompanies their casual remarks.

3. That certainly is rich

The amount of cognitive dissonance necessary to buy that line is going to make my head explode.

4. Being over-extended in Iraq and Afghanistan is part of the plan to

use tactical nuclear weapons, somewhere, anywhere, to put an end to the prohibition against them. Afterall, they're only the "little" nukes, not the big "stragetic" ones we never could use against the USSR.

[Vincardog]

7. And opposing that is short sighted how?

[patrice]

8. It's not short-sighted to be against the use of any nuclear weapons.

Certain Republicans want you to think that it is.

[joemurphy]

5. Thank God we've got Condi to take the "long view".

Ms. Prescient also blew off the 9-11 warnings ("Who could have imagined terrorists would use a plane to attack America?")

[Sherman A1]

14. I know I will sleep better

just knowing that Condi is on watch! Well, maybe not.......

[bowens43]

6. I HATE these war mongering murderous freaks!!! nt

[flyarm]

9. STFU CONDI THE MURDERER!!..GO BUY SHOES AND STFU!!

WE WILL STOP YOU!

FLY

[Stinky The Clown]

11. As if the Rice woman has any credibility left on ANYthing

Shut the fuck up, loserwoman.

[Realityhack]

13. ot - does she look dead to anyone else?

She looks like a bad zombie movie to me.

Then again she seems to be operating on the same IQ as your average B movie zombie.

[Seabiscuit]

15. "SHORT SIGHTED"????

That's what I call someone like Rice with her head so far up *'s arse that she can't see beyond the turd in her face.

[sendero]

16. If you weren't so completely and totally..

...wrong in the past, maybe we could listen to you now.

People who fuck up everything they touch and then walk around acting like they are hot shit annoy me to no end.

Guess what Condi, nobody gives a rat fuck about what your or your drooling "husband" thinks. Idiot.

[razors edge]

17. Yeah

They can't see past the Innocent dead.

[Peace Patriot]

18. Short-sighted? Because they value human life? And that just doesn't

matter to those lo-o-o-o-o-o-ong term thinkers at Chevron.

Throw Diebold, ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!

[FlorenceOfArabia]

19. She's determined to bring about the apocalypse single-handedly n/t

[zulchzulu]

22. Condi would like the Nuclear Button to be redesigned by Gian Battista

The Nuclear Button should be smoooooth to the touch, ever so elegant, ever so fashion-sense!

[Guaranteed]

23. That's laughably idiotic. nt

[msu2ba]

24. Dumbya and a New War

Oooooooooooooooooo.......shiny, new war!

Old war all yucky!

[calimary]

25. Um... YEAH, contradicta. We should all keep following your advice.

Uh... YEAH. Like it's been SO spot-on and SO valuable and SO shrewd and far-sighted up til now. What a track record you've built for yourself, girlfriend. From your "we've GOT TO have a WAR!" during the run-up - clear through to your beating out rummy for the job of "coordinator of post-war Iraq" and beyond. Yep, you're the smart one alright, contradicta. I'm REALLY gonna pay attention to what YOU say.

I wouldn't believe what came out of this woman's mouth if she told me I was a liberal Democrat.
