CondiLIAR Rice Calls Ceasefire a 'false promise'
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 08:34 PM by leftchick
<snip>

The US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, today ruled out a ceasefire as a solution to the conflict in the Middle East.

Ahead of her weekend trip to the troubled region, she dismissed a ceasefire - proposed by the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, among others - as a "false promise".

"An immediate ceasefire without political conditions does not make sense," she said.

With tensions rising at the Israeli-Lebanese border, Ms Rice said she hoped her trip would create conditions for a lasting Middle East peace, but admitted the diplomatic work would be difficult.

"Syria knows what it needs to do and Hizbullah is the source of the problem," she said at the state department in Washington.

10. Chuckie....
I mean Condi, why even bother with issues you are not qualified to handle? Just stay snuggled up in the oval office with your 'husband' until the rapture comes.

11. BushCo has spent a lot of phone time
lining up Canada and other countries to sing the back-up chorus to this. I just want to ask C*ndi about the "false promise" that no cease fire provides to the people who are going to be killed by the continuing bombing and ground fighting. How many lives might a freaking cease fire save?

12. Condi: Lebanon is experiencing "the birth pangs of positive change"
Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 09:57 PM by chookie
Oh -- so THAT's what all this has been! (BTW -- she really said that.)

"Ceasefire as a false promise" is Bullshit for "Surrender unconditionally or die, ragheads!"

She has also said that she will not begin discussions "until the situation is ready" -- therefore adding Dept of State approval to the Rape of Lebanon, that can be expected to continue for some time.

Anyone who thinks Condi is going to effect some compassionate resolution to human suffering in Lebanon is delusional. She is standing by her man, and her other man, Darth Cheney, all the way. She's just there to get the X on the dotted line selling their souls to Israel. She's a hardboiled bitch determined to keep her job as George's ventriloquist dummy. She's nothing but a tool for ruthless rich white men.
