"We're actually having a great time here in Iraq"
This sounds rather callous and insensitive.....(Condoleezza Rice, during her recent visit to Iraq with Rumsfeld)

1. The people here aren't really human beings,
they're just animals grazing on our oil lands. We have a great time slaughtering them. Things are going so well that we have to sneak in at night.

2. That reminds me of the Xmas card that Bush sent out in 2001
With the message "All in all it's been a pretty good year for Laura and I."

3. She needs to see what happens outside the Green Zone
When you're not too busy trying to clean up the piss-poor job contractors are doing rebuilding schools and hospitals, you're too busy trying not to get blown up in a roadside bomb or gunned down in an ambush.

7. Reminds me of Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, "Let's go to Iraq
and throw a benefit party..." to the Duke of Halliburton and the Boy King's buddies.

11. How do they sleep at night?
All the death, all the horror---it's too painful to think about.

13. More: "I think it's very stimulating for both of us........
to be in these meetings with Iraq's leaders together". "We're working very hard together". Somehow I just don't think Rummy and Rice are working all that hard!
