Rice says only an 'idiot" would trust North Korea
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081219/ts_nm/us_korea_north_usa

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in an interview released on Friday only an "idiot" would trust North Korea, which is why the United States is insisting on a way to check its nuclear claims....

Speaking to a group of foreign policy experts and students on Wednesday, Rice rejected criticism from U.S. conservatives who believe the Bush administration has been too trusting of Pyongyang in recent years.

"Nobody was trusting of the North Koreans. I mean, who trusts the North Koreans? You'd have to be an idiot to trust the North Koreans," she said in the appearance at the Council of Foreign Relations think tank, prompting laughter.


Hey, Condi! This one's for you...

1. And she's right!! Kim Jong Il is CRAZY and no one is exactly sure what his health...
is, or who is running the country or who would win out in a power struggle.

Spot on, Condi.

2. You'd have to be crazy to accept our rationale for trashing
Iraq too... therefore, she is crazy as well.

5. Kim Jong Il *is* crazy, but Rice is an a**hole who has helped us lose credibility before this planet
by being Bush's a**-kisser. There's absolutely nothing Rice can say that will cause anyone to listen to her. She's a kowtowing idiot.
