'Go home Condoelezza' was the main headline of the normally conservative UAE daily newspaper, Gulf News, on Monday.

The unusually blunt headline was matched with an equally blunt article below it. The sub-headline read, "Rice comes visiting the Middle East with heavy baggage, U.S. smart bombs and Israeli propaganda."

"Arabs are normally known for hospitality," said Gulf News, "but they do not want her here, it will be futile."

"Claims of impartiality are not credible, Arab patience has grown thin, her bias and a U.S. agenda driven by Israel, is there for all to see," said the editorial

21. Also the huge smiles on both of their faces

Yes the killings in Lebanon are really a laughing matter aren't they?

3. Ouch

Even Kissinger, visiting on behalf of Nixon, didn't get treated like that. Sigh. If the Arab world trusts you less than it trusted Kissinger, I don't see the point in keeping that job.

4. this maladmin should have sent Bill Clinton but they never would do that

[Raksha]

12. Nah, they should have sent Jimmy Carter

if they were serious about wanting to defuse the situation...which of course is the last thing they want.

[tnlefty]

26. Exactly who I thought of, too!

But this bunch of criminal thugs wouldn't send someone who actually cares about all of the people.

5. The Dumb Bush Crew are stuck in a hole 4758690708-09 Meters deep

Backed into the hole by their adherence to selfishness/stupidity...they fail to consider the Best Person for the JOB...and its not Condi....

Its President Carter or Clinton...

How dumb of Bush not to send them two. A no brainer.

13. Here's Lebanon's Daily Star

<snip>
After aggressively supporting Israel's siege of Lebanon - a brutal military campaign that has threatened the very existence of the Lebanese state - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came to Beirut to profess American "support" for the Lebanese government. Rice's arrival in Beirut - but failure to demand an immediate cease-fire - was not seen by many here as a sincere show of concern for their alarming humanitarian situation.

it is promising that Rice's talks addressed the whole package of concerns that have long plagued the Lebanese-Israeli front. These issues include Israel's air, land and sea incursions into Lebanese territory, which have occurred nearly every day since its withdraw from South Lebanon in 2000; the decades-long occupation of the Shebaa Farms; and the detention of Lebanese citizens in Israeli jails. Addressing these and other core issues will be a prerequisite to any lasting resolution of the Lebanon-Israel file.

14. Clowndoleeza.

Does ANYONE take her seriously?

[elehhhhna]

15. IS THAT THE SAME UAE WHO OWNS OUR PORTS? Yes, it is.

[bdamomma]

17. we have losted our credibility a long time ago

our beacon of light has turned to death and destruction. I have never been so ashamed and frustrated........sigh

[Quantess]

24. "I think the US has lost trust and credibility..."

said the OP. That's like someone who hasn't bathed in a year thinking to themselves, "I wonder if I smell bad".

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. What? No flowers from the grateful Lebanese enduring "birth pangs".

[lovuian]

20. She is absolutely useless in the MidEast as a negotiator

Condi is just buying time...

[Jacobin]

23. She is just pouring gasoline on the flames

Warmongering creeps

[PATRICK]

22. On the other hand

If she is stupid enough to be flattered into hanging around, Israel will not be bombing- at least until they lose patience with making her look good.

She makes a great human shield of a sort.
