Condi instructs us to be "less critical of every twist and turn" in Iraq

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

WASHINGTON - Defending President Bush (news - web sites)'s foreign policies, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) counseled Americans to be "less critical of every twist and turn" in Iraq (news - web sites).

"We need to be more patient with people who are making those early steps" toward a working multiethnic democracy, Rice said Thursday as U.S. troops fought a bloody battle with insurgents in the slums of Baghdad and Iraqi forces searched for ways to subdue insurgent militias in Najaf.

Rice said it took the United States a long time to achieve democratic goals.

And so far, said Rice, an African-American, Iraq's postwar leaders have not made a compromise comparable to the one by the framers of the U.S. Constitution, who "made my ancestors three-fifths of a man."

1. Wonder if Condi knows...

She is 3/5 of a man to the Bu$h administration. She and Powell are being used by the Neocons. And they really have no power in the Administration. Her job is basically to read "complicated" memos to Shrub....

2. It's hard to defend a looser!

I can't listen to her anymore. When I saw her come on the TV, I switched chanels. From what you said, it's apparent that she's finding it difficult to defend the shrub anymore. Bet she's thinking about leaving this admin too, even if shrub does get renamed (but he won't!).

3. Okay, I won't criticize every twist and turn...

The whole thing sucks... better?

[sans qualia]

4. Can I at least criticize your outfit?

Yeesh, Condi, what's up with that Star Trek jogging suit you're wearing? Yuck.

6. Start Levelling with Us

Condoleezza has been lying to us from Day One. One way for her to get some slack is to start levelling with us. She's the one who warned against mushroom clouds over U.S. cities, when she knew this was false.

Want us to start trusting you, Condi? Start being trustworthy.

7. In other words, Ignorance and Silence is Bliss...

Probably a message aimed more at the media, who will humbly roll over and humbly wag their collective tail...

I think that outfit is based on an old doll outfit, "Barbie the Supertanker Skipper"
