Condi Rice is proud that we attacked Iraq

Well, well, well, the girl who ignored the flashing red light from Osama bin Laden right (PDB) before 9/11 is now oh so proud that Bush invaded Iraq. Here she is with Judy Woodruff on Bloomberg.

Faiz:

Rice: Yes, it’s been very, very tough. But I know that great historical events go through difficult phases and often emerge with the world left for the better. And I am proud of the decision of this administration to overthrow Saddam Hussein. I am proud of the liberation of 25 million…

And let’s not forget her aluminum tube claim:

Citing Bush administration officials, The New York Times reported Sunday that Iraq tried to buy thousands of high-strength aluminum tubes. The tubes, Rice said, “are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs.”

Here’s here on MTP reminding us all about Saddam back on May 22nd, 2006:

RICE: I understand that Americans see on their screens violence. They continue to see Americans killed, and we mourn every death. These are very hard things to do. But I would ask that people remember why we are there. We are there because we are trying to-having overthrown a brutal dictator who was a destabilizing force in the Middle East, we’re trying to help the Iraqis create a stable foundation for democracy and a stable foundation for peace.”

I see she’s even got her husband the chimp’s smirk down now too. Keep smiling, Condi and be sure and book a trip to Holland *real* soon, they’d love to see you.

Worst. Secretary of State. Ever. She’s accomplished absolutely nothing in her time at the government teat.

Honestly.

I’m kind of tired with the whole “History will vindicate our ludicrous mistake.” Talking point. It seem to be the fallback justification for every administration tool. And of course, its the main rationale in Bush’s mind that allows him to sleep at night.

“In the long run… it will all work out.”

Well, ‘duh’ … in the long run, we’ll all be dead. What’s your point?

One might argue. “SEE… in the LONG run, Japan’s decision to bomb Pearl Harbor was a great idea … Japan is doing great and we get along just fine with them!”

This is the basis of their arguement.

“History will prove us right.”

They’ll have to live with fact that they will DIE hearing nothing but condemnation of their actions.

Yes! War Criminal … along with bush, here is a clip of him being heckeled at the swearing in ceremony for new Citizens and being called a War Criminal.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/vid.....esters.cnn

The entire Administration is complicit in this Illegal and unjust war, while the real war is left un-fought in Afghanistan and OBL still runs free.

Gretchen Says:

She’s “proud of the liberation of 25 million….” How proud is she of the millions that we killed? Or that we “brought democracy” to a people who had never asked for it to begin with.

They should all be tried for war crimes. Every last piece of crap in this administration that helped bring this about.

“But I know that great historical events go through difficult phases and often emerge with the world left for the better.”

Extremely evil historical events often emerge with the world left for better too you twit. The thanks for that belongs to the people who cleaned up the mess not the ones who created it.

Rich in San Bruno Says:

Well, I hope she’s still proud when the entire Bush Administration is indicted for lying this country into this illegal war and occupation in Iraq.

Don Rumsfeld hater Says:

It’s so simple. NEVER ADMIT YOU’RE WRONG !! NEVER NEVER !! THAT’S THE “SUCCESS FORMULA” of this administration.
Condi and Dick would probably also say that they are proud that 9/11 happened while they were in office. The US was attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists KNEW that this administration would be the most effective administration in U.S. history. And I’m proud of that !

Rich in San Bruno Says:

The Bush Administration are full of…”LIARS, CHEATERS, TRAITORS AND THIEVES”.

CRIME SHOULDN’T PAY…IF WE DON’T IMPEACH WE MUST INDICT!!!!

Why does anything that comes out of the mouth of this criminal lame duck administration even qualify as news anymore , other than the fifth amendment at their trials ? You know, the one part of the constitution that they and congress haven’t butchered yet .

occupation and the murder of thousands upon thousands of Iraqis = liberation

Good going, Condi!

Don Rumsfeld hater Says:

I keep cheating on my wife and every time I get caught - I tell her that it’s good for her. “A challenging life builds character.” I’m building her character…making her a better person. It works ! So I’m able to have a lovely family and get nookies on the side. I learned this tactic from the Bush Administration. You fuck over someone that doesn’t deserve it and then you try to convince everyone that it’s for their own good. The trick is - you gotta believe it yourself 100%.

One can only imagine how proud she must be of herself for ignoring all of the warnings about the 911 attacks.

I would like to see how proud that she would be wearing the orange suits that she puts the Guantanamo inmates in. She is either psychotic and delusional, on medication, or just plain evil. Where will the threesome of George, Condi, and Laura dwell after the White House? I wish that we could say “Goodbye and good riddance” to her now. Unfortunately, Bush and company will leave a stain on this country for decades when they exit.

dadams Says:

let’s send cundi to the streets of iraq
and let her explain why she is so proud
of this crime she is a part of. i am sure
the iraqi people, especially the many thousands
of those who have so painfully and needlessly
have lost loved ones and had their lives
completely destroyed, would be very
glad to listen………….or NOT.

i hope that if she ever travels out of
Amerika which she helped to create
because of her gross stupidity and
incompetence, she will be arrested
by rendition and forced to confess
to her crimes, convicted and given
the harshest of punishments. it’s
too bad that this will never happen
in America.

Jackie Says:

With over 4000 plus soldiers dead not knowing they were told a lie by the President, Connie is really saying SO. Now she’s trying to hook up with Obama for a job as Powell is doing. These people are evil and will say anything. Americans should remember as Katrina Victims were dying and begging for help Connie Rice just watched and kept on shopping not caring. Connie Rice with the rest of the Bush Administration should be charged with War Crimes and Powell should go right to jail. These people aren’t what America stands for they are pure evil.

23
Don Rumsfeld hater Says:

I just watched the Condi interview video again. She totally blames Sadam for the invasion as if he left the US with no choice but to invade……so back to my marriage …..having girlfriends on the side is justified because my wife doesn’t have great love-making technique. She also bought a pair of shoes which I told her ,in the store,were ugly. She left me with no choice but to seek sex outside the marriage.

EXACTLY. Everyone with a brain knows these talking points are pure crap, but I think everyone in the administration (with a shred of a conscience) repeats them as a mantra to themselves constantly in order to sleep at night. If Condi and her ilk don’t make themselves believe this, then they have to admit to themselves that they’re nothing more than liars and mass murderers.
It’s just frustrating knowing that Dubya will go to his grave never admitting to himself what an idiot he is.

McCain Lied Again!

The Bush Administration Paid 20 million dollars to free Columbian Hostages. McCain Publicity Stunt?

At any rate McCain lied by not telling about the $20 million dollar ransom payment.

Again, it’s not the release of the hostages which is bothersome. That’s a good thing. $20 million was a small price to pay to secure their release. It’s the timing of the events and the accounts of the release that have been suspect.

Condi is proud to over throw an old US puppet , i can’t believe she brings up the Iran-Iraq war and uses it as a justification to over throw saddam, the US armed him to the teeth to fight in that war, and supplied him with the gas he used.

We are in Iraq because Bush was the perfect stooge to do what they ordered him to do, ie…captured and control the oil spigot, reduce the offer so that the price could climb up. Well it did…300%. Not bad eh!

with the long 8 yr history of lies and deception now and the documented
extremely close ties to the OBL family in saudi arabia the bush family has
had and still has if you even mention an alleged collusion in this crime of 911,
it gets pulled or censored as conspiracy theory.
free speech is a right even when you don’t agree.

Condi’s simply Bush’s toy and doing what her master is forcing her to do right now. He doesn’t have any supporters left at this point except Laura, Barnie, and Cotton Condi - what a manage a quatro!

But I would ask that people remember why we are there. We are there because we are trying to-having overthrown a brutal dictator who was a destabilizing force in the Middle East, we’re trying to help the Iraqis create a stable foundation for democracy and a stable foundation for peace.”

This must be reason #2,341 for why we’re there. Wasn’t it originally that we didn’t want to see a smoking gun become a mushroom cloud? Whoops, no WMD. So now our motive was overthrowing a destabilizing dictator: How’s that working out? Let’s see we’ve empowered Iran, al Qaeda is as strong as they were before 9/11 and Afghanistan and Pakistan are now their new base. As for creating a stable foundation for democracy and peace in Iraq: Aren’t they in the midst of a bloody civil war we helped create? As for the violence Americans allegedly see on their TVs…what the hell is she talking about? The TV news hardly ever reports what’s going on in Iraq or Afghanistan and we’re never shown the dead bodies, certainly not the thousands of Iraqi and Afghani ones.

Given that statement, I’d like to hear her explain this administration’s bellicose stance towards Iran. The democratically elected government of Iraq is working to strengthen ties to Iran in order to create a stable foundation for peace.

bobsf Says:

The revision of history has commenced. We are in denial about the millions of Iraqi lives that have been destroyed, and are still being destroyed, because of this ill-conceived war.

Jim Webb can claim with a straight face that the Vietnam war was a good thing because history has not sufficiently documented the number of lives we destroyed over there with our ceaseless bombing. The same thing will happen with Iraq. No one really knows how many lives we’ve destroyed over there and so that is not factored into the evaluation of the war. So Condi can poin
