Rice used her visit to praise Maliki's choice to take on the militia. Fighting Sadr, who has declared that resistance against U.S. forces is legitimate, is an "internal Iraqi matter," she said.

"But clearly, the prime minister has laid down some ground rules which any functioning democratic state would insist upon, having to do with, you know, arms belonging to the state, not to -- not in private hands," she said. "The current circumstances come out of what I think is a very important and indeed appropriate action that the Iraqi government has taken."

1. Oh here we go.....wonder how the gun owning fundie's will like that?
Or are they too stupid to realize that proposing this in another country where the US is promoting Democracy is a testing ground for what they want to try in the US?

Condi is an idiot and a war criminal. Maybe she hasn't figured out no one is listening to her.

3. So much for Condi ever becoming a GOP Presidential candidate...
...although I'm sure the VPC will probably FedEx her a fruit basket.

4. I wonder if that includes the ones we gave to the sunni who used to kill our troops
but are our friends now? Or the ones that have gone missing from the US in Iraq?
