Israel to Rice: Restraint my ass!
I know. You're right of course. I just wish for once someone in the political arena would do away with the diplomacy for the masses bit and just tell it like it is. Wishful thinking on my part. Someone doesn't have to say "Kill Em All". Just come out and give them approval without all the pussyfooting around.
Looks like the pod-creatures at State managed to replace Rice with their own creation. Either that or State's got better brainwashing techniques than the CIA.
Once again - these aren't Rice's personal opinions. She is speaking as a representative of and with the full authority of the administration. In other words, Rice says what the Prez wants her to say.
Point well taken.
Dear god, This type of crap is the reason were still bogged down in Iraq. Restraint just gets more people killed.
"Restraint" my ass. The Palies......hell, all of Islam, has been shown FAR too much "restraint"; look where it's gotten us.
No, Israel, you go in and kick serious butt. Overkill. Overwhelming force. Make it hurt..........bad.
This is all these scum understand, and that's just a fact.
"Should a chief executive have subordinates making significant policy decisions with which he disagrees?"
Of course not.
"Looks like the pod-creatures at State managed to replace Rice with their own creation. Either that or State's got better brainwashing techniques than the CIA."
I think Goss is a stronger person than Rice---or maybe just more committed to what he believes in---or may be it's just that he believes in the same things I believe in and Rice has somehow been faking it.
Exactly. Israel cannot protect herself? Why not? We've gone to Afghanistan and Iraq to do the same and those countries aren't even on our borders.
IMO, Israel can blow the Gaza strip into 1948.
"Frankly, I've had it with Rice. The State Department has ruined her. I knew she wasn't tough enough to clean it up
Once again - these aren't Rice's personal opinions. She is speaking as a representative of and with the full authority of the administration. In other words, Rice says what the Prez wants her to say."
In this case---I agree with you. But Rice has been all around the world saying all kinds of things lately---most of which I have not liked. I don't believe the President formulated most of the statements were closely controlled what was said (in less important circumstances that today).
'Islamo-nut-cases' don't understand restraint--in fact, the only thing that restraint buys from them--is more resentment and lunatic behavior.
I hope Israel cleans house over there. How about some restraint from the 'Islamo-nut-case' side, for a change?
I got your restraint,right here......go pound sand!!!!!!!!!
