Sec Rice gets constantly bashed around here for doing nothing.

TRIPOLI, Libya - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that her historic visit to former pariah state Libya proves that the U.S. never writes off another nation forever.
Rice is the highest-ranking American official to visit the North African country in more than a half-century. She will meet over dinner with mercurial leader Moammar Gadhafi, whom President Reagan once called a "mad dog" and other U.S. leaders have called a terrorist.
"There is a long way to go but I do believe that this demonstrates that the United States doesn't have permanent enemies," Rice said as she flew to the capital. She said she had not expected she would ever go to Libya.

She'll fuck that up, too.
Afterall, she's had great success in extending olive branches and building bridges.
She, we, may have been better off if she simply invested in Olive Oil production and dynamite.0 -

'hey, Israel, seriously, we really need you to stop with the checkpoints and the settlements so we can look for peace.'

did you know there are other countries and people in this world besides Israel and Palastine?0 -

a real argument? you somehow managed to bring up Israel in yet another thread that has nothing to do with it.
so when you want to make a real argument based on the material in question, please get back to me.
otherwise go play in the 9000 Israel threads u started.0 -
I'm not up to date on Libya. I know Gadahfi is not running around in the same terrorist circles he used to but what are human rights and civil liberties like in Libya?"When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads." - Ron Paul0

condi, as i prefer to call her, IS useless except when it comes to towing the party line and pissing people off. then she's a real team player, hugely effective."Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Barack Obama."

actually, you mentioned Condi Rice 'accomplishing' things, including trying to find 'peace' between Israel and Palestine, and I responded.spyguy wrote:a real argument? you somehow managed to bring up Israel in yet another thread that has nothing to do with it.
the only response you came up with wasn't even a valid point.0 -
spyguy wrote:ok. how bout what shes doing today in Libya?
Covering her ass, or maybe if it wasn't Rice the messenger, I wonder who the high ranking official was that negotiated with Gaddaffi in 2003 for securing secret prison site for the CIA.

Our dirty little torture secret
Officially, Britain disapproves of rendition, the CIA’s shadowy capture and transport of terror suspects. In reality we have helped, writes Stephen Grey
... The flight logs showed the insertion by the CIA in November 2001 of undercover teams to Afghanistan. They showed flights in 2003 to Libya, joined by Britain’s MI6, to negotiate with Colonel Gadaffi. But above all they showed renditions — flights from Morocco to Kabul that matched the exact description provided by prisoners such as Binyam Mohamed, a young Ethiopian brought up in Golborne Road, west London, and educated at Paddington Green College. ...SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.0 -

No, you don't get it.
My comments were directed at her past efforts and track record. Obviously not at this attempt, because it's not over yet, right Mavrick?
But as my grandmother used to say.....
If you're going to go over to your neighbor's house to try and make peace, with a big stick up your ass, a grudge on your shoulder and the attitude of a horse's ass; you may just as well stay home.0 -

When? I don't remember anyone (except maybe for me, and I don't even know if I mentioned her by name) saying anything about rice.0
