the United States doesn't have permanent enemies...

..because they strap suicide bombs to their backs, pilot planes full of civilians into buildings, and taunt us into an eventual lethal response.

They may be temporary but they sure take as many of us with 'em as they can, huh?

Yeah, I had great hopes for her too, 'til she started shaping her truths into steaming PC-shaped patties.

Because we’ve been at peace with the North Koreans since the Korean War of the middle of the 20th Century. < /NOT! >

The country is being given away to illegals and our economy is being sold to China, along with military secrets.

You are more right than you know. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is funding challenges to illegal alien restrictions and joining forces with radical groups such as MALDEF and La Raza. ICE is staging very infrequent and high-profile raids to divide families on purpose to create resentment towards the raids themselves and help the cause of amnesty legislation. And China has "invested" $25 billion this year alone in the largest Wall Street banks, and is strengthening ties with our Latin American and Islamic foes.

The craziest conspiracy theories don't seem quite as crazy anymore.

Slip slidin' away.

I suppose this is a correct. The enemies are temporary until they are erased from existence.

Ohhkay, we should just go and hug our Islamic brothers, with love, peace and understanding we will never have to fear them, right?

Not in this dimension, maybe in Bizarro world.

100% correct. And the (Saudi) Riyals will start rolling into her account (as it now does into his) starting on January 21, 2009.

[US has 'no permanent enemies']

I suspect this statement is rooted in an idealistic belief that, if our enemies can be led to an appreciation of the self-evident truths spoken of in the U.S. Declaration of Independance, then they will find a common cause with us and cease to be our enemies.

Freedom, if genuine, is a powerfull attractive force.

[“Peace for our Time”]

I don't think so.

"We hold these truths to be self evident..."

Still an ideal worth pursuing?

"The United States doesn't have permanent enemies, we're too great a country for that," she told reporters at a State Department press conference.
"...The reason they're not permanent is because we wind up kicking their carcasses out into the street to be devoured by buzzards," 'Civ added. Thanks NormsRevenge.

I blame it on Foggy Bottom. The water in the State Dept must have drugs in it.

How about irregular warriors motivated by Islam? Two hundred years ago they were called Barbary pirates. Today they are called terrorists.

The only permanent enemy of Miz Condoleeza is Israel, the one country she loves to kick at every opportunity.
