Condi is breathless with excitement. ABC

[spanone]

She's on Stephenopolous(sp?). She's breathless and soooo excited. And she said 'better than could be expected' 'Our forces are there under a United Nations Mandate' She's a fucking LIAR.

[MichiganVote]

1. Good now let's get out of Iraq

[Goldeneye]

2. Let me get out the GOP translator.

Better than expected:
We have been downplaying this all week, so that no matter what happened it would look good for Bush. ONLY 36 Iraqis killed and only 14 attacks is pretty darn good. Don't worry about turnout, just remember one thing: it was better than expected.

[spanone]

7. Now you're drinking the Kool-Aid.

[chelsea0011]

3. I thought her first order of business was to go to Iraq to show support?

When is her trip to Iraq? The Iraqs will welcome her with flowers and open arms.

[chelsea0011]

4. And the polls closed just in time for the Sunday news shows?

Could this have been planned better.

[LynnTheDem]

5. Condi, you really shoulda waited a bit.

What a fool she'll look like when the results come out and she finds out that "72% better than expected" bullshit refers only to the 17% population, the Kurds. Up in northern Iraq.

And the insurgency will just carry on as it has been.

Good tho; the more they're shown up for being wrong wrong wrong, the more likely the moran rightwingnuts will get it; bushCartel are ALWAYS WRONG.

[gristy]

6. I seem to remember expectations being clearly lowered during the runup

to the elections. And many commented at the time that this was so that people like Rice could today make comments just like this. How many Iraqis dead so far today?

[madrchsod]

8. having an orgazism right on tv?

i thought there were decency standards on network tv television. do`n the circle jerk right there on tv....what will the children think?

[htuttle]

9. Which 'United Nations Mandate' would that be, specifically?

She's just making shit up and pulling it out of her ass, now.

[spanone]

11. Unfortunately or expectedly no one challenged her.

She can't stop lying now, the whole peice of shit would fall apart.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. IOW, still lying.

And why not? Congress approves of her lies, apparently. So it's bidness as usual.

[underpants]

10. Jennings really put it to her-Condi"but many Sunnis WANT to vote"

that was her response to his pointing out that the turn out has varied from location to location and that many Sunni's think the election is fraudulant while under US occupation.

Condi later went on to say "the reason we went in there was for our own safety" -yes she actually said that.

[derby378]

12. Ew - sounds like Condi's stroking herself (n/t)

[jerryster]

13. One thing that has been ignored

It seems to me that the true test of "success" in Iraq will come when the new government decides what stand to take on Israel. I'm certain the Iraqi government will support a Palestinian state and that's to be expected. However, unless it also recognizes Israel and offers diplomatic ties I don't see how Bush et al could consider it to be "mission accomplished". Further, what will Bush and Rice's response be if the new charter goes as far as calling for Israel to cease to exist?

Note: I looked for an international forum to post this question, but didn't find one that fit.

[underpants]

17. Good point-I am also curious how well socialist/communist will do

Wouldn't that be ironic. Dipsh*t W invades a country and it turns out that the people initiate a dominoe effect.

BTW- no one knows who they are actually voting for which could make it REAL easy for W's puppet government to be put into place.

18. This site

is probably about as close to a good international democratic (with a small "d") forum as you're gonna get.

16. Spreading the Good News!!! Iraq Is Free!! Mission Accomplished!!!

They knew that if Anybody showed up to vote, they were gonna call it an overwhelming success. How long till another soldier dies????

[spanone]

19. Now we have George Will & Cokie Roberts championing bush*

No one else to debate but cokie and george. fucking ridiculous.

[GetTheRightVote]

20. She is so lying, I can not believe this woman & her continue lies

I hope someone takes care of her real soon, destorier of truths and deceit societies. I really hate this woman and I do not even know her, her actions are enough when it comes to my country.

:kick:

[bigtree]

21. She'll support the sacrifice of a thousand or more American lives

to cover her lies that got us into this war, and the shifting lies about 'democracy' and 'freedom' that our occupying forces are killing and dying to defend.

[Stirk]

22. How does she see a UN mandate?

Please tell me she didn't trot out that old "resolution 1441" bullshit, because apparently Hussein wasn't even in violation of that.

[Jawja]

23. That IS a lie

that we are there under a UN mandate! These people don't STOP, do they??

[spanone]

24. Everytime they speak they are trying to rewrite history.

That is precisely what she said. We threw the UN weapons inspectors out and told them to go fuck themselves, then we set about to tell the world the the UN was insignificant, outdated, out of touch, irrelevent......and only 13 voted against her. Shameless.

[Jawja]

26. I agree.

Absolutely shameless. It's bad enough that we've got liars and criminals in power. It is disgusting that we have NO opposition to them to speak of.

[Spazito]

25. Annan has called the invasion and occupation illegal....

She has NO credibility, none at all and the world knows it. Diplomats will be hard pressed not to be seen rolling their eyes when this woman speaks about anything.

[justgamma]

27. The world knows of her lies

How the heck is she as the head of diplomatic relations ever going to have any credibility whatsoever? Unless, she sees her job as telling the world how things are going to be run from now on.

She will never be able to negotiate anything. Why would anyone believe her.

[spanone]

28. Yes, but most Americans believe her....or her boss...

At least Colin Powell HAD an opinion. Condi is an empty echo chamber.
Too bad she doesn't use her well trained brain. But you are right, she's DOA in the diplomatic world.

[anarchy1999]

29. Condi is always breathless, especially when Barbara B starts asking

the hard questions. God I can't believe she was "confirmed". What a waste. Our new "Secretary of State", representing the US in the world, god, please save us.

[spanone]

30. Warning: Get Ready, she'll be lying again with Wolfie Blitzer....CNN
