MADRID, June 1 -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that Vice President Cheney fully supports a diplomatic course over Iran's nuclear program, denying impressions of divisions among President Bush's foreign-policy advisers.

"The president of the United States has made very clear what our policy is. That policy is supported by all of the members of his cabinet -- and by the vice president of the United States," Rice said at a news conference here after talks with Spanish officials. "The president has made clear that we are on a course that is a diplomatic course, but it is a diplomatic course backed up by disincentives for Iran to continue its activities."

Rice was responding to remarks made by Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. ElBaradei told BBC Radio that the world risked a war in Iran because of "new crazies who say 'let's go and bomb Iran.' "

Asked who the "new crazies" were, ElBaradei replied: "Those who have extreme views and say the only solution is to impose your will by force."

4. Well, if he shoots his friends, what else can his adversaries expect.

6. How can you tell if Condi is lying?

Her lips are moving.

But you guessed that, didn't you?

11. bingo

12. Especially when her lips are saying "yes," while her little bobble-head

is shaking "no" the entire time. And vice versa.

7. Thanks ElBaradei for warning the world about these new crazies

Now many of us on this site know who the crazies are. And these crazies lie to those that elected them. Cheney to this day lies without blinking. Condi just recites the WH talking points, she could care less about real diplomacy. She has proven it for years.

This madness needs to be stopped. George has managed to get the whole Middle East in a turmoil. The complete opposite of Cinton's Presidency.

8. I guess that even though not an even mediocre Sec of State, she

at least carries some weight with W, which Powell did not.

9. Rice is a proven liar.

Anybody that believes a word out of her crooked mouth is a fucking idiot.
