The minute I heard Dodd say that this part of the world looks to the US for "leadership" I knew he was trolling for money, and by golly, I was right.
He says Chavez wants a relationship with the US! Passing reference to "recent developments."
Dodd thinks we need to do something new with Venezuela rather than isolation....soon Rice will get a chance to respond.
Dodd starting to adopt a hectoring tone.
Rice: Mexico and Canada-we've made a lot of progress with them both on a number issues. Smart border initiative, first item she mentions. Allowing in commerce, not allowing in those who would harm us.
Just like progressive means liberal, leadership to other countries means money. And the Left complains that we have code words.
