Just a question: Gulf States =U A E?
One would have thought that Rice and the State Dept would have ironed this sticky issue out before pressuring Israel to withdraw from Gaza and therefore accept the road map to h*ll. Oh well, one more error in judgment. So who's counting. (rhetorical)
Much of this is Rice's fault. She let the Arabists in the State Department advise her, and as a result she got exactly what could be expected.
Developments in Israel and in South America over the past year have really disillusioned me about Condi's competence. It seems as if she has turned into yet another State Department shill.
Very disappointing. She had a lot of real promise when she started out.
