The ability for the Bush apologists to rationalize and excuse the unspeakable hypocrisy from this administration is, well, breathtaking.

How come, when Democrats and "Liberals" suggested doing what Rice is doing TODAY, all the Fascist on these boards called them names, called them defeatest or Traitors?

good point mcvet - it's because we have still the true, independent american virtue of questioning our government. these others, wait for their F|hrer to give them a sign.

but son't expect too much (just look at Rices' face!) - it's too little, too late and there was never any dynamic behind it.

It's nice to see Condi and W getting on the idea that Democrats gave to them: namely talking to Syria and Iran. Now, the neocons find this a good idea. But when Pelosi and the Democrats did it, this same act was unpatriotic. How difficult and two faced it must be to be a neocon!

And what is with the childish name calling:

"Barack Obama Bin Laden?? Barack Obama Bin Laden??" Posted by didntinhale

Do your parents know you are on the internet?

In his speech opening the conference, al-Maliki pledged to institute reforms that the United States and Sunni Arab governments have repeatedly called for, including bringing more Sunni Arabs into the Iraqi political process.

Maliki is always making pledges but they mean nothing without action.

Nothing more will come of this than has come from the long list of unfulfilled pledges he has made since taking office.

Lip service.

To didntinhale - you prove that racism and bigotry still thrives lives in the small minds of many. Iraq and terorism - until Bush and his neo-con crusade Iraq was not a haven for terrorists; but a haven for a dispicable despot. Bush introduced terrorism - they now have their HQ in Pakistan and their field training in Iraq. America would still have 3000+ heroes alive and actually fighting terrorism in Afghanistan if Bush's ignorance and Cheney's immorality hadn't changed our purpose. Obama had the moral courage to see through the lies from the beginning. Many more are awakening everyday (even Republicans). It is only fools like you that Bush/Cheney can still rely on. The 20 soldiers that will die this week (and every week until Bush leaves office) for your and Bush's war salute you!

"U.S. Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said that the U.S. does not have the body of either the al-Qaida chief or the head of the Islamic State and doesn't know "of anybody that does." He said the military had been conducting numerous operations against al-Qaida in Iraq over the last six days and he believed that had led to reports that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri had been killed in fighting."

what a shame - i thought it was "mission accomplished" !

well, just another disappointment.....

Last "discussion" I had with a Republican, he peed on me.. I says: "WHAT DE HELL KINDA DISCUSSION IS DIS?!" Let me tell yaz. "Shutup sexxxy." He said.

Secretary Rice now talking to the Syrians - how trendy. Way too little; way too late! The Bushiites should have been talking to Syria and Iran years ago - but the Bush neo-cons had their minds set on world conquest. This just reinforces the stupidity, arrogance, and hubris of the Bush administration. Don't worry, Peolosi laid the ground work - at least she showed that not all American politicians are as ignorant as Bush and Cheney.

[booyaw_77]

Don't worry about this stuff Republicans. Us Democrats, we'ze gonna handle it.

In professional diplomacy, it is far more important to talk to your enemies than it is your friends.

But, professionalism and the Bush administration are total opposites.

The Bush administration conducts foreign policy like some hillbilly who only talks to his kinfolks while he tries to wage war on everyone else.

In a related matter, visiting Israel, or hosting Israeli officials, is a complete waste of time and money. We already know what Israel wants - more US tax dollars and US soldiers to fight their wars. We don't need high level discussions for that to be determined.

At least Iranians & Syrians fight their own wars with their own money.

NO ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE HERE! SHE CAN'T EVEN GO TO KOREA AND GIVE A STARVING NATION ITS MONEY TO STOP BUILDING NUKES!

According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in June, 52 percent of Americans now believe the President deliberately distorted intelligence to make a case for war. In an Ipsos Public Affairs poll, commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org and completed October 9, 50 percent said that if Bush lied about his reasons for going to war Congress should consider impeaching him. The President's deceit is not only an abuse of power; it is a federal crime. Specifically, it is a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud the United States.
