"As I was telling my husband %u2014 As I was telling President Bush." - Condoleezza Rice, quoted in Newsweek, May 3, 2004

If he were alive today, Dr. Freud could explain that slip-of-the-tongue.

When I first read this I thought you were joking so I started researching. My educated logic tells me it was an obvious slip up because subconsciously Condoleezza Rice likes Pres. Bush in a romantic context and wish it were true. My street logic tells me they are romantically involved, thats more than a slip and was fresh in her mind from recent intimate contact! I can''t believe she said that and expects to live it down. When you look at who Pres. Bush surrounds himself with like ex-AG Gonzo and others, he prefers personal relationships over professional ones and why should Condoleezza Rice be viewed any differently? Condi opened that door, so she has to deal with what comes with it.

And even beyond their having impulsive lapses they engage in long term planned transgressions over extended periods of time.

They shouldn''''t do that. I just think they might appreciate being reminded, is all.

Yes, there is a known problem of contradictions in the Bible. Still, there are these commandments in the Bible that are more or less key to the message that so many politicians and journalists and other folks think are worth remembering - but can''t seem to follow.

And even beyond their having impulsive lapses they engage in long term planned transgressions over extended periods of time.

They shouldn''t do that. I just think they might appreciate being reminded, is all.

We can not attack Iran. We do not have the assets.

In addition, if we attacked from Iraq, then we would have to fight a rear guard action as well. Situation is impossible and that is why Iran is keeping the most extreme Iraqi elements supplied with IED''s and other weapons and money.

What will happen? Isolation of Iran by sea and land (Afghanistan and Iraq). Stop the oil exports. Ready for $120/bl oil? Might be better than what would happen to the economy and your equity investments if we had a nuclear detonation in Israel.

It is too bad that they cannot manage to keep decent Judeo Christian values about giving false witness.

Posted by CBS_Oliver at 03:35 PM : Sep 29, 2007

It''s so funny. The book "BIBLE" full of lies forbids false witness.

Verse
Matthew 27:5 (Judas hangs himself)
Contradicting verse
Acts 1:18 (Judas falls headlong, his bowels gush)

One of these two above mentioned verses gotta be false and lie as they contradict each other, so the following ones;
Verse
Matthew 11:13-14,17:13 (Elias is John the Baptist)
Contradicting Verse
John 1:21 (Elias is not John the Baptist)

Verse
Acts 9:26-29 and Acts 26:19-21(Paul is saved)
Contradicting verse
Galatians 1:15-22(Was he really?)



Verse
Acts 9:7(heard voice, saw no man)
Contradicting verse
Acts 22:9(no voice, saw light)

Verse
Matt.10:2-4, Mark3:16-19 (Jesus apostles'''''''' names, the twelfth is Lebbeus who''''''''s surname was Thaddeus) Luke
Contradicting verse
6:14-16 (apostles'' names now different, the twelfth in Luke is Judas the brother of James)

CBS seeks to normalize the idea that Iran is supporting the insurgency in Iraq despite the fact that no real evidence has been presented - and they are supposed to be a news organization not a propaganda engine.

It is too bad that they cannot manage to keep decent Judeo Christian values about giving false witness.

SECRETARY RICE: Let me put it this way. The Iraqis are Iran''s neighbor, but there is no love lost between Iraqis and Iranians, first. And secondly, there is absolutely no desire of the Iraqi Government to be thought of to be Iran''s agent in any way, most especially the Shia members of that government want to be known as Iraqi patriots and they have gone out of their way to make clear that they expect and want to have correct relations with their neighbors, indeed friendly relations with their neighbors, but that when it comes to the interference of any of their neighbors in their internal affairs, that''s where they draw the line.

I do believe Maliki when he says he''''''''''''''''s made that point when he has been in Tehran. I know that when we are at the neighbors conferences those points are made very strongly. And one has to remember that what Iraq is trying to assert, both Shia and Sunni, is its Arab identity at this point,


Is she really that ignorant and stupid?

Iraq and Iran are not United States. There are no Black or white. People care about their RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION more then any thing else. It''''s based on the concept of AL WALA WAL BARAA FILLAH(LOVE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH and HATRED FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH). All the SHIA ITHNA ASHARIYYA are affiliated with Iranian AYATOLLAHS. How can she trust those people whose RELIGIOUS POLITICS is based on TUQIYYAH (Fooling Infidels or lying to them in order to harm and kill them is the best practise in the eyes of god).

Rice is so gut-wrenchingly ambitious that I don''t believe anything she says. She is ALWAYS on topic and routinely spews the party line.
