Live by the sound bite - Rice

Notes and Quotes

Live by the sound bite ...

"This is the toughest action that China has ever signed onto vis-a-vis North Korea ... It sends a very strong signal to North Korea that it is now completely isolated."
- US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, October 15

Die by the sound bite

"We're concerned about further action by the North Koreans, but further action by the North Koreans will only deepen its isolation, which is pretty deep right now."
- Rice, October 17

"Complete isolation" becomes "pretty deep isolation" two days later. So much for "strong signals". And in Condi's world, apparently it is possible to be half pregnant.
