I've discovered why our foreign policy is a mess!
From CNN:

"There's nothing I am worse at than long-term planning. I have never run my life that way. I believe that serendipity or fate or divine intervention has led me to a series of wholly implausible steps in my life. And I've been open to those twists and turns because I didn't have a long-term plan."

-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice

1. Leo Strauss

and the "mysticism" that often accompanies fascism.http://www.straightdope.com/columns/031212.html

I'm tired of her--if she does not have a long term plan, get her outa the way--she is just taking up space and we are paying her to "wait around" for the atmosphere to enlighten her

4. Did you see her scowling away behind * the other day
while he was trying to 'splain to everyone that Halliburton just made some accounting errors that lead to overcharging contracts? She looked like a demon from chaos.

5. So is Bush, everything he gets near is chaos.
I recall my sister telling me that. That this guy would leave every thing in a mess. It is so as he seems to jump from one thing to other and every thing is left in a mess.Can anyone think of anything that is better for anyone but the rich tax payers and they may be not so lucky as they have to give it back to him so he can run.

7. Chaos is desired
A pysche beseiged by chaos is open to exploitation. Think that isn't part of BushCo s.o.p.?

9. Condi's not the problem.
This quote just shows that she's totally unqualified and unsuited for her position.

US Foreign Policy has always been geared to protect our "interests" abroad, and those "interests" have always been business interests. As if following international treaties, acknowledging the sovereignty of other nations, treating foreign nationals with human dignity - and just doing what is right & moral shouldn't be in America's national interest.

10. Rice: "We had no idea they would use airplanes!"
You know, cause she couldn't be bothered to read the report. How come she isn't in prison?

11. And we were laughing at Nancy who used Astrologists to make
Major decisions for Ronny. WTF we got here??

Is this the Best the GOP can send in??

Get a new Quarterback.

A new Coach!!

Change the Offensive coaches too,

and the PR guy as well.

This here is a losing Coaching team. Scores look like shit, the 3 year season looks like shit and they keep telling us ... we are winning?? Not if the Body Bags keep coming home it ain't. Not if we still got homeless and poverty it ain't. Not if our education system sucks it ain't.

Houston, Get this Shrub outta here, he is THE Problem.
