FAUX....48hrs from now..."WAS KATRINA GOOD FOR AMERICA?"

[greekspeak]

Lets see them spin their way out of this. Oh they will try. Try as hard as they can. All the talking heads will race bait, or fuss and fume about some made-up bitch. I am sure that at least 30 blonde girls will have to disappear to fix this one. Will we see some real outrage? Some real demands for officials to step down? No more hearings, no blustering rhetoric. No caving from wishy-washy dems. No blaming things on "Billery." Just saying, "I did something wrong, no, EVIL, and I am not fit for this job" and letting the door hit them REALLY hard on the way out to jail. :mad:

Condi Rice: Tsunami Provided "Wonderful Opportunity" for US

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0118-08.htm

WASHINGTON - Asia's tsunami disaster provided a "wonderful opportunity" for the United States to show compassion with relief efforts that reaped "great dividends" on the diplomatic front, Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice said.

Rice's remarks, made at her Senate confirmation hearing, drew a sharp rebuke from Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer who accused her of insensitivity to last month's catastrophe that claimed some 168,000 lives across the Indian Ocean. Rice, the outgoing national security adviser, made clear in her opening statement Washington's hope of consolidating its influence in the region, following up on the goodwill generated by US military help and financial aid for tsunami victims.

"Our Asian alliances have never been stronger, and we will use that strength to help secure the peace and prosperity of the region," she told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that was expected to clear her nomination with little trouble.

US officials have trumpeted the massive military relief effort mounted by the Pentagon as a humanitarian gesture that could score points in a part of the world where anger still lingers from the Iraq war. In response to a question, Rice agreed readily. "I do agree that the tsunami was a wonderful opportunity to show not just the US government, but the heart of the American people, and I think it has paid great dividends for us," she said.
