WTF!!!!
Well, I think she's right on this. They look pretty stupid, don't they, trying to run the Palestinian pseudo-state?
Personally, I'd rather have them DEAD, though.
This is utterly juvenile. Time to revoke her driving privileges.
At least I hope so - it would be better that than Rice actually thinking this.

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.

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.
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.
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...

Pat Buchanan's next running mate, ladies and gentlemen!
What in the world gives her the idea that this is an either/or situation???
"I am not so sure that it is better to have these groups running the streets, masked, with guns rather than having them have to face voters and having to deliver."
Jesus, is she an idiot or what? My opinion of her dropped from 85% to about 25%!!!
Hey Connie, let me clue you in: The way Hamas 'delivers' to it's 'voters' is by killing Jews!! And the more Jews killed, the more votes they gain!!!!
God, govt must make people stupid. just downright STUPID!
You watch. This is just the run up to recognizing this bunch of thugs so we can shovel bushels of moneyinto them again!!
God this SUCKS!
I thought we were at war with such groups.
Condi, would it have been better for the Nazis to have been wearing masks and running around the streets with guns, or was the world better off with racist, meglomaniacal maniacs controlling the levers of power in a state, one armed with the weapons and technology of a state(and not that of street thugs), funded with the full taxpaying and borrowing capacity of a state (instead of the sporadic proceeds of criminal activities), and given the legitimacy of a state's sovereignty (as opposed to being an illegitimate criminal enterprise)? If you really think the latter, then you should immediately resign as Secretary of State, and check into a mental institution.
That Bush doesn't shut her up (assuming she really believes this crap), is one more point in the "Bush is a mediocre President" column. Unfortunately, the alternative is far worse and, as such, I've already voted to keep Putrid Pelosi and Upchuck Schumer out of power.
Un-effin-believable. I lose more and more respect for the "Good" doctor the more she pulls this BS.
I agree with her. What she's talking about is ACCOUNTABILITY.
The Fatah government, after every Hamas terrorist outrage, can shrug its shoulders and say, "Sigh. It's those Hamas scamps again, whattaya gonna do?"
A Hamas government can't disaffiliate itself from acts of terror. Any terrorist acts under the aegis of a Hamas government are officially state-sponsored acts of war.
It means that the Palestinians are now 100% accountable for terrorism in a way that they weren't before. It means that Israel is within its rights to destroy the Palestinians' infrastructure whenever it wants.
While expressing disappointment with the drift toward repression in Egypt, Rice said the 2004 presidential elections produced some lasting benefits.Unfortunately, one of those benefits was *not* the appointment of Condi Rice as Sec'y of State. Oh, she meant the so-called Egyptian election...
I wish she would go away! Far, far away!
Condi I don't like you, not even a little!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sick of Condi's BS!
