Rice Faults Past Administrations on Terror

NY Times ^ | 10/31/03 | David Sanger

[Ole Okie]

Go Condi!

[el_texicano]

At last, some hardball!!!!

Give 'em hell Condi!!!

[Quix]

BUMP FOR FILES

[TomGuy]

Mattie will be out spinning and namecalling--as soon as she gets the sheets changed. (Albright was criticizing GW on something already earlier this morning.)

Bill will call his spinteam together to save his legacy.

[TommyDale]

I love this woman! I would really like to see a Presidential race between Condi Rice and Hitlary Rotten Clinton. Kick some big ass.

[princess leah]

The TRUTH is finally getting out there!

"Let us be clear," she said. "Saddam was not going to go away of his own accord. For 12 years, he gave every indication that he would never disarm and never comply with the Security Council's just demands. In fact, he mocked those demands and made every effort to circumvent them through a massive program of denial and deception."

That should make the headlines in Paris.

the hijacking of the Achille Lauro in 1985

Help me out, here.
Achille Lauro was Arafat.
Arafat is PLO.
To this day, we still negotiate (and give aid to) the PLO.
WHY?

[dufekin]

I haven't a clue. Palestinian terrorist organizations ought to face the same fate as any other terrorist organization: annihilation. Speaking of which, when is that terrorist containment fence finally going to be complete?

[ladyinred]

The administration has finally had enough of this constant bashing!

Good for Condi!

[Verginius Rufus]

Of course it can be taken back earlier to Carter's mishandling of Iran before and after the overthrow of the shah and then of the hostage crisis...and his siding with Saddam in the Iran/Iraq war which began in 1980.

Carter and Clinton both believed that a policy of US weakness and trying to get the terrorists to like us would work. For some reason it hasn't. Maybe some liberal think tank should be given a grant to study the problem: how to make the bad guys like us.

[swarthyguy]

Goes back to Carter and his impotent reaction to the Tehran Embassy hostage crisis and the abandonment of the Shah.

And Reagan's retreat from Lebanon after the Marine barracks bombing and the tepid response to the numerous kidnappings that took place there.

Lots of blame to spread around.

[petitfour]

wanna read this one later

[Arpege92]

You Go Condi!!!!!!!!!!

[Prime Choice]

What's worse, we know why Clinton did nothing about bin Laden when he had the chance!

And that lying sack of s*** claims he "obsessed" over bin Laden. Sure thing, Slick...

[Arpege92]

"How to make the bad guys like us"

Geez, the liberals don't even like us....liberals/bad guys, all the same to me anyway.

[WaterDragon]

What the Democrats will never admit is the overwhelming opposition they mounted for Bush 41 to do ANYTHING about Saddam following the first Iraq war. The liberal media successfully turned public opinion against going after Saddam. I remember.

THIS time, the media is being countered by the internet and talk radio. We won't be fooled TWICE!

[eskimo]

The TRUTH is finally getting out there!

No it is not. Rice doesn't have a clue about how our constitutional republic should function.

[Ax]

I believe that the terrorists who carried out the Achile Lauro operation were with Abu Abbas. Abu Abbas was in Iraq until he very recently came to the attention of coalition forces. I believe he is still being detained, but that's the last I heard of him.
