US Secretary of State heads to Middle East, Asia
Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) — US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice left Washington for travel to the Middle East and Asia late Sunday, as she prepared to meet her North Korean counterpart for the first time on the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum.

Rice is expected to meet North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui-chun in an informal meeting of the top diplomats of the six countries negotiating Pyongyang's denuclearization program.

She has no plans for a bilateral meeting with Pak, but will see him in the meeting with her counterparts from South Korea, China, Japan and Russia, the other four states involved in the six-party talks, officials have said.

In Abu Dhabi on Monday, Rice and Gulf Arab allies were to get a first-person account from her number-three envoy about his unprecedented but apparently fruitless participation in talks Saturday with the Iranians in Geneva.

...and now she wants to make a trip to visit with N. Korean delegates? Oh please. Just pack up your shoes and get ready to be tossed out the back door with your criminal boyfriend and his crew.

She is a major disappointment for women and for blacks and for the US government. A f*cking FLOP!! Did nothing but lie to us, and accomplished absolutely nothing within this corrupt administration.

Save us the tax payers' money, and just stay home and pack up your shoes and sex toys. Your job is done. Obama and Co. are on their way, and they'll show you how to get the job done. When you respect the other nations of the world, you get some back. This screwed up, macho bravado, gun slinging administration has been a catastrophe. Just pack your bags. Leave well enough alone, and save us the money.

A waste of a title. This woman was the biggest zero of a Sec. of State this country has had in MY lifetime. Blow bitch!

3. I think this is a lame attempt by the bushes to take the spotlight away
from Obama. I'm sure ABC and the Foxes will be giving us hour by hour updates on Rice cake's continued fruitless participation in foreign affairs.
