Condi Rice: Russia Is Buying A One-Way Ticket To Oblivion

[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Some unusually blunt remarks from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about Russia.

Speaking at the German Marshall Fund in Washington, Rice delivered a scathing attack on Russia's leadership. She accused Moscow of plunging a proud nation into global irrelevance by pursuing misguided and paranoid policies.

Rice derided Russian leaders for invading Georgia, and the Kremlin's broader pursuit of what she called self-isolating policies. She set out a series of dire warnings about their country's international standing, saying Russia is buying a one-way ticket to oblivion.

But for all the harsh words, Rice's tough talk was blunted by the lack of any specific announcement of concrete measures Washington will take to punish Russia.

12. "War With Russia Is On The Agenda" by Paul Craig Roberts (Third World Traveler 8-26-2008)

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Russia/War_With_Russia_On_Agenda.html

Rice was indoctrinated with this, PNAC and the RW traitors in the Pentagon have the goal of full spectrum dominance by the "world's sole military superpower", the continued brinkmanship was placed into the hands of criminally insane homicidal ideologues that have their fingers on all kinds of buttons.

[fla nocount]

13. Kindofsleezy is acting as if her opinion will still matter 4 months from now.

Ominous?

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Trying to wake up the dead Cold War?

Seems to be the PNAC/BushCo thing to do :eyes:

[Jamastiene]

15. Oh great! Just what we need...another freaking cold war

[madrchsod]

16. one of the few things she`s been correct on but........

the russian leadership and oligarchy are the same kind of losers and thieves as we have in the usa.
so once again who is she to lecture russia on their failings.

[Selatius]

17. Maybe Rice should examine the American leadership at home before criticizing leaders abroad.

The only difference between the two oligarchies is that the American oligarchy has more money and a better propaganda machine.

[live love laugh]

18. I only hope they make sure she sees oblivion first for putting Americans in harm's way. n/t

[pansypoo53219]
