Too Much Rice is bad for your health.....
:P

from ThinkProgress:



Rice claims that removing Saddam Hussein was ‘a great strategic achievement.’»

On Fox News Sunday this morning, host Chris Wallace asked Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice if it “pains” her that the United States went to war in Iraq under “mistaken premises.” “Of course, I would give anything to be able to go back and to know precisely what we were going to find when we were there,” Rice said, but ultimately, she added that removing Saddam Hussein from power will be seen as a strategic success:

RICE: I still believe that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein is going to turn out to be a great strategic achievement, not just for the Bush administration, but for the United States of America, because now in the place of a country that has long been at the center of Middle East politics as a bulwark against Iran.

1. Isn't she that piano-player lady? Does she actually have something to do

with the government? Well, I'll be darned! Has she done any good for America? And I thought she only played the piano for rich Asian people.

4. Is she a moron or a liar?
It's hard to tell with these Bushies.

Removing Saddam Hussein was good for one thing and one thing only: it destroyed the only secular buffer between Iran and the rest of the Middle East.

I have Iraqi friends, and friends from other Middle Eastern countries who tell me - and I believe them - that Hussein dealt with the people in the only way they understood. In our cultural chauvinism and narrow view of the world, we assume that all people are like us, all rulers should be kind and gentle.

Well, we can kiss that one goodbye. Watch and see who ascends to power once we're the hell out of there (which can't come too soon for me).

5. another Bush disaster
She and Bush's media spokesperson, that bubble-brained blond, should do stand-up together after they lose their jobs.

6. How can anyone so supposedly intelligent tell a lie and believe
it so thoroughly?? What a greeeeaaaaaat strategic move... and yes what a great strategic move it was to support extremists in Afghanistan, and yes what a great move it was to overthrow Allende and oh yes, what a great move it was to invade Vietnam and did I mention that little thing in Panama?? Woman, get yourself a frikkin' clue.

Perhaps you need to look into Putin's eyes and get a feeling of his soul... or whatever it was gw said when the honeymoon was on.
