count me OUT Condi




...Rice is notably unflappable. Her face was tight, her voice even, occasionally and briefly speeding up to meet the jabs coming her way. She did not give much away or lose her temper.

But she might find her trip to the volatile Middle East starting Friday a vacation compared with her time before the committee.

Rice calmly walked the committee through the revamped war plan while acknowledging that what has been done until now has not succeeded. "I ask that you give it a chance to work," she said.

1. Um they had multiple chances to succeed and they failed miserably

bye, bye, Condi...you are getting ready to get kicked to the curb...you just don't see it yet...You will get Powellized...

2. And we've been doing what

for the last 4 year? Most of us opposed this from the start but were forces to sit by and "give it a chance". Where did that get anyone?

Iraq is beyond salvaging. 20,000 more troops won't do it.

And I seriously doubt BushCo's commitment to this since I don't see him calling for any kind of sacrifice from the American people. Give up the SUVs for fuel efficient cars? Nope.

Encourage the young, healthy supporters of this war to enlist and relieve the burden of the troops who are on their 3rd tour of duty? Nope.

My patience has run out. NO MORE CHANCES.

4. It Would Need A Chance Of Working For That To Be Done, Miss Rice

And it has no such chance.

5. You've had six years to make something, anything work.

How much longer are you asking us to wait? Until Jan. 21, 2009?
