Rice admits she done fucked up! You see, nothing makes me happier than when someone who screws up royally admits it, rather than just dance around it and make excuses. It really makes me feel good.
She still, however, asserts that going into Iraq was the right thing to do. Look Rice, no one in their right mind agrees with you. Why be so obvious about who’s pulling your strings? My favorite is how every time she, or Bush visits a foreign nation, protests erupt.
You know, I have a lot of foreign connections, friends and family, and 100% of all of them can’t understand why Bush is in power. We are a complete joke to the international community, and I’m laughing. Our death penalty laws, abortion laws, injustices and racism are most like medieval England. I suppose when a race is evolving, the ones on their way out (social conservatives) have to have a final resting place… no better place than America.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has admitted the US has made thousands of tactical errors in Iraq, but said it was right to remove Saddam Hussein.
I still don’t see the need to bringing up the removal of Saddam. Here’s the deal, if that was the goal from the get-go, why not just say so. Its so irritating to hear the president and his idiot friends talking about how the Iraq invasion was okay because at the very least, we removed Saddam. We were lied to, that is not what the president said was his goal when we went into Iraq. It may have been one of his side goals, but thats not a good enough reason to invade a country.
"This could have gone that way, or that could have gone this way," said Ms Rice, adding that the US-led invasion was "the right strategic decision".
That would be true only if the opposite weren’t true. Since going into Iraq was the wrong strategic decision, it cannot be the right one.
"But when you look back in history, what will be judged is did you make the right strategic decisions," she said.
"I believe strongly that it was the right strategic decision, that Saddam (Hussein) had been a threat to the international community long enough," Ms Rice added.
Say something original please. History will remember this as a great disappointment in American history. Bush will be remembered as a terrible dictator who was one of the only presidents that nearly destroyed the country and brought it to an earlier era of hate and intolerance in modern times. And no one will remember you Rice.
Here are the key ‘issues’ she addressed:
- no-one should doubt America’s commitment to justice and the rule of law
- the US had no desire "to be the world’s jailer", and that Washington wanted "the terrorists that we capture to stand trial"
- the cause of advancing freedom was the greatest hope for peace today
- the use of force "is not what is on the agenda now" in the stand-off over Iran’s nuclear programme – adding that President Bush "never takes any option off the table"
- the US and Britain should continue to have "extremely close" ties relations and be united in the fight against terrorism
No one should doubt American’s commitment to justice? Well, too late, everyone doubts it. If Washington wanted the terrorists that we captured to stand trial, then Washington should let them stand trial instead of labeling them enemy combatants and keeping them locked up for good with no trial. The third bulleted item I have trouble reading, its like one of those wordy anomalies of grammar where the sentence structure and the syntax may technically correct, but the choice of words makes the brain melt. It sounds like it was translated into Japanese, then translated back to English. I think what she meant to say was "America needs to control other nations for their resources".
I am sure president Bush would just nuke the country if he didn’t want their oil. If the use of force is not on the agenda, then get the fuck out of there. It is sad that this terrible, terrible travesty of mankind would tie the US and the UK closer together. I would hope that a peaceful understanding of togetherness and oneness would do it, not greedy blood money.
