"..Condi's singing the Weak Man Chorus in a dissonant and out-of-tune screech..."
Shouldn't this clown be in jail?.......
Yes, Condi. Bite me. We're not stupid. We know you're snuffling around the edges to see if you can worm your way back into the White House. That will happen over my cold, dead body. You are an unpatriotic, sniveling political hack who should be thrown on the scrap heap of American Moments We Want To Forget, But Cannot and I will work tirelessly to make sure you go back there.
Mediaite chronicles your latest hypocrisy:
Right now, theres a vacuum, Rice said, according to a report via The Weekly Standards Stephen F. Hayes. Theres a vacuum because weve decided to lower our voice. Weve decided to step back. Weve decided that if we step back and lower our voice, others will lead, other things will fill that vacuum.
Rice sited the ongoing civil war in Syria, the return of Al Qaeda to Iraq, Chinas antagonism toward Japan and the Philippines, and Russias aggression in Europe as examples of how the post-Cold War order is beginning to fray.
I fully understand the sense of weariness, she revealed. I fully understand that we must think: Us, again? I know that weve been through two wars. I know that weve been vigilant against terrorism.
I know that its hard, Rice continued, but leaders cant afford to get tired. Leaders cant afford to be weary.

F*ck you, Condi. Get on your broom and fly back to whatever cave you live in. You helped facilitate the deaths of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis when you colluded with Rumsfeld and Bush to invade Iraq for no reason other than oil, when you condoned torture, and when you lied through your teeth to every American forced to trust your "leadership" because to do otherwise was unpatriotic. If anyone led from behind, it was you. From behind a blindfold and a water pitcher, you used torture and lies to pursue your neocon battle strategy. Listen to Ta-Nahesi Coates, who wrote this analysis in response to your warmongering editorial two weeks ago:
War-mongering is self-justifying. If you bungle a war in Iraq, it does not mean you need to sit back and reflect on the bungling. It means you should make more war, lest Iraq become a base for your enemies. If Vladimir Putin violates Ukrainian sovereignty, it is evidence for a more muscular approach. If he doesn't, than it is evidence that he fears American power. If there are no terrorist attacks on American soil, then drones must be right and our security state must be effective. If there are attacks, then our security state must increase its surveillance, and more bombs should be dropped. Violence begets violence. Peace begets violence. The circle continues.

Since you have such a short memory of history, let's get in my time travel machine and look at what you wrote in your own book about Georgia, shall we? To Georgian president Saakashvili, you said this:
"Mr. President, whatever you do, don't let the Russians provoke you. You remember when President Bush said that Moscow would try to get you to do something stupid. And don't engage Russian military forces. No one will come to your aid, and you will lose," I said sternly.
And then you said this about the National Security Council meeting concerning events in Georgia:
The session was a bit unruly, with a fair amount of chest beating about the Russians. At one point Steve Hadley intervened, something he rarely did. There was all kind of loose talk about what threats the United States might make. "I want to ask a question," he said in his low-key way. "Are we prepared to go to war with Russia over Georgia?" That quieted the room, and we settled into a more productive conversation of what we could do.

Leading from behind, Condi? Weary? Is THAT what you described there?

She's a reminder of some very warmongering and paranoid times.

I don't understand why she didn't take advantage of the WH dental plan.
This sort of shit, and the Rumsfeld and Cheney salvos, are why all of these people should have been either prosecuted in-house, or cuffed and turned over to the world court.
