Condi: "No 'widespread abuse of spending' in Iraq...(Approp Cmte)

Condi's jostling with Sen. Inouye: "Funds were spent as they were intended".

Well, I feel better...

1. "No one could have suspected Al Queda would attack America." - Condi

Get this clueless Dweeb away from power. She is
dangerously out of it, and can't even read.

5. Well she is "out of it" on most foreign policy issues, but in this case..

She knows exactly what's going on. Her bosses are stealing the money and she's lying in an attempt to cover their asses.

17. Gigadittoes, Tridim. I was giving her too much credit

You are right, this is intentional lying to cover up the republicon looting
of the US Treasury through the Iraq oil war.

6. Well, at least she likes sports!!!

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blackhistory2007/news/story?id=2780487&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab1pos1

I always wonder when I'm reading articles on non-political sites whether the person writing it knows (or cares) that the person they are writing about is vile. Nevertheless, the treatment of her as an iconic figure needs to stop.

19. I couldn't get past the first sentence.

snip
"As U.S. secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice is astute on the subject of international affairs."
\snip

"And by astute, I mean jackassedly blind and/or stupid. Probably both."

10. We fully intended that that money should be stolen

What's the problem with that? If you didn't jump into the pile of tons of free money just waiting to be grabbed with both hands and a greedy smile, then too bad for you!

11. Unparalled in the stupidity department

How in the hell could this woman have a doctorate? Seeing W with an MBA and Condi with a PHD makes academia almost a laughing stock.

12. Tell me when she has ever been right about anything?

...where is the list of her accomplishments? She should have resigned in disgrace the day after 9/11. National Security Advisor at the time of the worst breach of national security in our history!

20. Great. Let her drive the Zamboni machine at the ice rink...

...if that's the surroundings she likes. I would even go so far as telling her to apply for the job of CEO of the Winter Olympic Games. But please, stop making a fool of yourself and our country.

13. Why do these Bushistas even bother with their pronouncements?

Edited on Tue Feb-27-07 04:15 PM by MasonJar

No one believes them, and even if citizens objected, the Bushites would not change one iota of their wicked plans.

14. She, like her husb...boss, speaks the truth. The theft was CONCENTRATED, not "widespread";

Edited on Tue Feb-27-07 04:18 PM by WinkyDink

the theft WAS "INTENDED".

As Shakespeare wrote, there is a special place in Hell for such equivocators.

15. Damn It...Her Lips Moved Again

Has this lady ever said anything that was true or accurate? Lying has become so second-nature to this regime...and the corporate media eats it with a folk and asks for seconds.

16. Correct, they INTENDED to give Halliburton billions

for a shitty job. They INTENDED to keep lousy records so that fraud, embezzlement and bribery would be rampant. They INTENDED to 'foment' sectarian violence by firing the entire Iraqi workforce, so that they could have a non-ending military presence there. They INTEND to do the same in Iran. This is what happens when an ideology runs a country. Facts, truth, reality, learned lessons mean nothing.

18. Condi, watch "Iraq For Sale"

you might learn something. Of course, she's
lying, but perhaps knowing the details might
help her in becoming more believable.
