Rice Backs International Probe of Hariri Assassination

[Seeing Red]

-snip-

"She again said that while the United States is not assigning blame for the car-bomb killing, Syria bears a "special responsibility" for what happens in Lebanon because of its troop presence there."

...starts to sound a bit like "hmm, September 11 ... how can we spin this ... IRAQ! THEY HAVE LINKS TO AL QAEDA! THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE! WE SAID SO!"

1. Has She Ordered Any Probes Of Assassinations...

committed by the Israeli government?

8. what about US backed assassinations?

Perhaps we should start cleaning our own house before commenting on the junk in other people's houses!

[cthrumatrix]

2. she should back a public hearing with Sibel Edmunds

then I might listen to a fricking word she says

[indepat]

3. Does anyone else bear special responsibility because of the presence

of its troops in another country?

4. CO Liberal Backs International Probe of Condoleeza Rice

The sooner, the better.

17. Hi Blue to the bone!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Tempest]

6. This is only AFTER Syria supported France's call for an investigation

Once again the U.S. is upstaged by an axis of evil* country.


*Syria is not technically an axis of evil country, but would be now if Bush was to repeat his speech.

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

7. Can you say war on Iran and Syria.....

[malaise]

9. She shows up in the Middle East and Israel

leaves..and then bingo...total chaos in Lebanon...solution -now lets attack Syria and Iran. And just who benefit from this chaos? What a surprise that today we hear there are more terrorist attacks in the works. How dumb do these people really think we are?

10. dems better start hitting back HARD on this "special responsibility" thing

because obviously, it applies to Iraq as well. fucking hypocrites.

[Sandpiper]

11. The only real question is, was it Mossad or the CIA?

The timing of this is just a little too convenient.

[moondust]

14. It is highly suspicious.

Have any other countries reacted almost instantly to this killing as if they knew in advance that it was going to happen and who they were going to blame?

[MasonJar]

12. She and her boss can drop down the drain; who cares what

those two do or think?

[MasonJar]

13. It seems that everything egregious that we accuse other nations

of are just duplicates of our own sorry and pathetic policies. How can we admonish any country on elections, assassinations, arms, nuclear bombs, etc., etc.?

[leesa]

15. Why bother with a probe? Why not pull the answer out of your ass like

usual? You know the answer will be AlQaeda, Iran or Syria.

[applegrove]

16. Yes - multilateralism will save Rice's *** in this case n/t
