According to the ABC News/USA Today poll, only one in three people have access to clean drinking water, while the number of people who said they don't have adequate power has increased from over half to 88 percent.

"It's very difficult," Rice said in response to the numbers. "The insurgents have decided to attack electricity supply, to attack oil supply… The new government (with an) investment of nearly $10 billion of their own money is going to be able to do a better job with our help of providing for the Iraqi people."

When asked if the United States should stay another four years, even if troops would endure the same amount of casualties, Rice said yes.

"First we have to recognize the tremendous sacrifice" made by troops, she said, noting that "nothing will lessen the hurt" for their families.

"We need to complete the job. To leave an Iraq in the hands of… killers, to leave it unstable would have untold consequences for the region and our security at home," she said.

1. With friends like Condi

who needs an enemy? What does she mean the job is not done? That there are still parts of Iraq that are not in total chaos? Or that we don't have all the oil yet?

2. I have visions of Condi as the Black Knight in "The Holy Grail"

No arms, no legs, saying:

"All right, let's call it a draw"

3. What's the f'in job?

Give our guys a goal and let them do it. I know soldiers who say all that they do over there is sit around and get shot at. They want a goal so that they can do it and come home.

I think that the "job" to which the bushes refer is an occupation. That should not be our goal. Maybe the dems can get them to develope a "job" or a "goal" to shoot for.

4. Exactly.

What is the mission and how will we know when it's been accomplished?

Every journalist should ask this question EVERYTIME one of these people says "complete the job".

Saddam is dead and gone. They've been liberated. It's time for troops out, diplomats in.

7. What's the job?

Well, there's all that sweet, sweet crude just sitting there under the sand, waiting to enrich Bush and his oil cronies. You don't mind sending another few thousand troops to die for that, do you? Oh, there will probably be some messiness on the Iraqi side as well. And what with modern advances in battlefield medicine, a lot of guys who would have died in previous wars will be able to come home, isn't that nice? Well no, they won't be productive human beings without a lot of help, but we can't really afford to do that. Did I show you this shiny war we bought back in 2003? It's a little scuffed up now, but I'm telling you, it was a real honey back in the day. Let's give the old girl another whirl, whaddya say? I'll bet we can really get it going in Iran!

What were we talking about again?

[Benhurst]

5. Iraq is not in the hands of killers right now?

Tell that to the more than 700,000 men, women and children who have been murdered so far.

Condi is an evil, stupid bitch.

6. Another prediction of doom and gloom from the gang that can't

get anything right. How often do you have to be wrong before we have the right to tell you to STFU?

8. "we need to complete our fuck-up and get more Americans killed"

[Supersedeas]

9. why should be believe the current leadership can establish these lofty goals when the have been

completely unsuccessful so far

10. Who's this We?

"First we have to recognize the tremendous sacrifice" made by troops, she said, noting that "nothing will lessen the hurt" for their families

We, if by that you mean you, and your "moran" boss, have been doing a heckuva job at that.
It's not just the troops that are treated in such a disgraceful way, it's also the callous disregard for their families. There are many horror stories out there. Honestly, this woman makes me want to vomit. Condi, you should go help complete the job yourself, and take that Top Gun wannabe with you.

11. How can ya complete the job Condi when ya came out and told us

it was FUBARD from the get go! Huh? What now Rice-a-Roni?
