[burythehatchet]

"No one could have imagined that Steve would be killed by a wild creature?"

[ComerPerro]

1. LOL

[Webster Green]

2. Brilliant!

LOL:rofl:

[cspanlovr]

3. Certainly, no one could have anticipated this happening.

[Benhurst]

4. While I mourn Mr. Irwin's death, your post is funny because the

exposes an inner truth about Condoleezza (sic) Rice, who is totally capable of making such a stupid remark.

Still, :spank: &

:rofl: &

:hi:

[soleft]

14. I admitt also to my horror that this made me LOL

But the truth is that I mourn for Mr. Irwin and for the world as a result of Ms. Rice's actions and inactions.

5. That's like Condi saying

(as she's led off in handcuffs) "No one could have imagined me being sent to the Hague for war crimes".

By the way I didn't know a stingray was a wild creature.

[Kali]

6. ...

:spray:

[nevergiveup]

7. A very comprehensive , thorough, and

reality based statement. It is sort of like not imagining a race car driver being killed in a speedway crash. Duh!

[CatWoman]

8. !!!!!!!!

[stopbush]

9. That sad reality is that out of all of bushco's "no one could have

imagined" memes, your imaginary one about Steve Irwin's death is the only one that has a whiff of truth to it.

10. No more than they could imagine planes flying into buildings

Now what was the title of daily briefing about Bin Laden?

[cspanlovr]

12. No, they couldn't imagine planes flying into buildings,

or an insurgency in Iraq,
or the levies breaching.

Condi Suggests Opponents Of Iraqi War - Would Have Tolerated Slavery
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 08:17 AM by kpete
Condi takes historical analogies to an absurd level

Last week, top administration officials, including Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, equated the war in Iraq with fighting Nazis in World War II. As part of this analogy, the Bush gang made its critics out to be Neville Chamberlain — as if troop redeployment in Iraq is the moral equivalent of appeasing Hitler.

As if that weren't quite offensive enough, Condoleezza Rice has upped the ante a bit, suggesting that opponents of the war are the moral equivalent of those who would tolerate slavery in 19th century America.

Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.

"I'm sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold," Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.

"I know there were people who said, 'Why don't we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?'" Rice said.


Now, I know that Rice, like much of today's Republican Party, is desperate. I realize that this appears to be a challenging campaign cycle for the GOP, and they're willing to engage in whatever demagoguery necessary to survive the next 10 weeks.
