OMG! Rice is the head of the "Iraq Stabilization Group"
Good God. Everything this woman touches turns to shit.

(this from October 2003)

Rice will manage Iraq's 'new phase'

WASHINGTON — President Bush is giving his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, the authority to manage postwar Iraq and the rebuilding of Afghanistan.
(snip)
Rice will head the Iraq Stabilization Group, which will have coordinating committees on counterterrorism, economic development, political affairs and media messages. Each committee will be headed by a Rice deputy and include representatives of the State, Defense and Treasury departments and the CIA.
(snip)
Because of their close relationship, many people will assume Bush signed off on Rice's decisions.

(snip)
Rice "is going to make sure that the efforts continue to be coordinated so that we continue to make progress," Bush said at a news conference with President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya. "And listen, we're making good progress in Iraq. Sometimes it's hard to tell it when you listen to the filter" of the news media.

1. She's still part of the evil...
... and can't figure out that she is part of that evil.

Yeah, this news is old, but it's still relevant. She wanted to be part of the power, and paid the price....

12. This was formed to funnel contracts to American companies FASTER.
US companies were complaining that they couldn't subcontract to Brown and Root, etc. fast enough to rake in the profits immediately. So that was HER function.To funnel the taxpayers' money into greedy "reconstruction" firms.
