"many diplomatic tools still at our disposal." says Rice about Iran

Wouldn't that have been a good idea before the Iraq war?

I really hate this women!!! I don't how she can live with herself.

Also, it is nice to see some of the CNN headlines today.

-Rumsfeld twice offered to quit over Abu Ghraib
-Marine general: It's 'fun to shoot some people'

Who would have thought the MSM would have ever posted a story like the ones we see on DU everyday.

1. Condaleeza is proof positive

that sometimes the nut falls very, very far from the tree. Her father was a good man and a civil rights activist.

2. Obviously she meant "disposal" ...

3. When you've already decided that diplomacy won't work,

all those "tools" become nothing more than a stalling tactic while you build your case for taking more drastic measures. They did it with Iraq, using inspectors, sanctions, etc, while spinning the inevitable failure of those efforts to garner support from the public.

When Condi says Iran is "not on the agenda at this point," she's really saying is "we haven't wasted enough time on half-hearted diplomatic efforts to convince enough Americans that war is the only option."
