Diplomacy! *pfft* That's women's work...
Edited on Wed Apr-04-07 02:14 PM by politicaholic

President Bashar al-Assad

President Bashar al-Assad
in his natural habitat.


This is what diplomacy looks like...
“We were very pleased with the assurances we received from the president that he was ready to resume the peace process. He’s ready to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel,” Pelosi said.
...wait a gosh-darn second, did that just happen? Did Nancy Pelosi just negotiate with a terrorist-y type? SHE'S A PEACE LOVING TRAITOR! For accomplishing something Condileeza Rice couldn't have if she handed over a bag of money and then gave the dude a lap dance.


UH-OH, somebody's making
a scrunchy face today!


President Bush is so mad that he called a press conference where all of the reporters had to stand and only one reporter got a microphone to ask questions through, of course, the Fox News reporter. The other reporters had to yell, all at once, making them very easy to ignore, but for what it's worth, here's what he had to say:
President Bush denounced Pelosi's visit to Syria, saying it sends mixed signals to al-Assad's government. "Sending delegations doesn't work. It's simply been counterproductive," Bush said.
...of course, when he says counter productive he means counter productive to triggering The Rapture!!


That's not his belly,
that's his eighth chin!


That fat guy up above looks kinda like Santa Clause, so we'd better hear what he has to say:
"These people in the United States who are opposing dialogue I tell them one thing: Dialogue is ... the only method to close the gap existing between two countries," Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said after Wednesday's al-Assad-Pelosi meeting.
...did he just say that? No-he-di-ent! Nobody has been talking to these people? NOBODY! Then Santa comes along and basically writes his phone number on the wall of the President's bathroom stall and Bush is still refusing to resolve things? AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. ergo, it follows that Condi is no woman,
because she repeatedly proved she has no capacity, talent, insight, experience, or ability as a diplomat.

The thuggish environment of this White House proves your comments true, though. I'm first to K&R

4. You are correct...
perhaps with that heavy single brow of hers she can usher a new breed of neanderthals through Europe during the coming ice age.

2. Condi is typical Bush failure as a Sec of State. WTF does she do all day?
Has she accomplished anything as SOS? Not to my knowledge. What a bogus position in this mal-administration.

6. About time we had some female goddess energy working
Need to neutralize all those swords being waved around (wait--those ARE swords, aren't they...?--well, whatever is being waggled, anyway).

Like Stephanie Miller said on her show this morning about the release of the British soldiers--"Wargasm denied!"

8. Leave it to a smart, confident woman to say, 'To hell with this BS. Here, let me fix it.'
Good call. In C*ndi 'The Mother of All Cronies's dreams she'll resolve a political crisis like this.

9. Diplomacy is for sissies and girls!!1!!1
That is the right-wing, neo con's attitude about international relations. Why talk when you can fight?

When you spell it out plainly, it seems all the more ridiculous.

But then, for them to realize that, would require self-awareness. Right-wingers don't seem to value honest self analysis or self insight, either. So I guess that's why they don't see how ridiculous it is to disregard diplomacy as "sissy", or "for pussies", or "un-manly", or whatever.
