Another terrorist state? What happened to trhe WOT?
That makes perfect sense. The people have voted for Hamas.. Hamas makes all these promises... they don't deliver and guess what.. they lose the support of their people.
We all know the U.S. is going to work against them delivering what they promised so it's all gonna fly back in their face.
I have to agree with you. Rice is saying exactly what we would say; if the Dems win tomorrow in a fair election, we can blame our fellow voters BUT we cannot change the outcome, nor would we want somebody else to some in here and tell us to change it. Hamas won the election; they now have the responsibility to deliver on both their promises to thier people and to the world at large. Conversely, as a shadow organization, they become 'romantic' like the IRA was once. I agree with Rice - make them show themselves for who they are, and, if they fail, let the people toss them out. It would suck to be in her position of trying to moderate and clarify all of this stuff.
I am worried we are going to wuss out on dealing with Sadr City after Maliki screams at us.
It doesn't work that way. This will be an election held one time. For all time. The way all good tyrants operate.
And Condi is diverting yours and my tax dollars to feed this monster.

Funny, that's not what the Road Map said. Nor Oslo. And the US is a party to both. One could easily conclude that diplomatically, the United States is not to be trusted.
Consistancy would require it, as it would the Taliban. And the Baath party. All were denied the opportunity to participate in elections while armed. Of course none are particularly well liked in Saudi Arabia, which could be a factor.
That's not true. IMO, armed terrorist groups have no place participating in elections. The Oslo accords, to which the United States is a party, specifically spelled that out. They were to have been disarmed a decade ago. It required a specific exemption to allow a terrorist group to participate. Over Israel's objection, and I'd speculate over Abba's private reservations as well. It was a stupid move. Same for Hizbollah's participation in Lebanon, which the US supported.
Per Condi we're doubling our 2006 aid to the palestinian authority, from $240 million to the mid $400 range. My guess, some of that ends up in Switzerland as well.
she is toast for 2008, let her go off and run the NFL.
Good thinking, there Condi, NOT!
Your proposal is nothing more than acquiescence to an acknowledged terrorist organization assuming the reigns of a sovereign state and thereby take advantage of the peculiar rights and priveledges that such entails: negotiation of treatise and alliances with other sovereign nation states, diplomatic immunity, ability to print money and to the purchase arms on the international market.
"Per Condi we're doubling our 2006 aid to the palestinian authority, from $240 million to the mid $400 range. My guess, some of that ends up in Switzerland as wel"
Some of it? All of it will be in a Swiss bank account.
This woman is a sterling example of what is wrong with our State Department:
Most realize that if you dress a terrorist up in a suit, they are still a terrorist and just as deadly.
She does not.
I've kept myself from asking the nagging question quite a few times out of respect for our President, but enough is enough. Has our Secretary of State Rice ever been a member of any organizations like the Nation of Islam, Society of St. Pius X, or a Mel Gibson fan club, maybe? Has she expressed any preference for any European country over our USA (Europhilia)? ...just to present a few examples that are all essentially alike...

"Wherever Islamists have been elected, they have had to deal with raising revenue, filling the potholes, and dealing with milllage rates. Damn whole sight harder than driving the Jews into the sea. "
Odd, I seem to remember that Arab areas are recognizable by the hung potholes. And, try as I may, I can't remember seeing any news of Jews being driven into the sea by Muslims.
With terrorists in office, the roads get worse and worse - until the IDF blows the area to H*ll and gone to suppress terrorists will things improve.
Pat Buchanan's next running mate, ladies and gentlemen!
Condi could find a party to run her in a heartbeat, Pat couldn't.
Looks like Rice is nothing more than the next Buchanon...
Ahh! You beat me to it.
Grumble grumble, mumble... (kicks can)
