This incompetent piece of fruit cake convinced me more than ever we should attempt to sign a pack with Iraq to have a antimissile base in their Country. Worth a try. All the batteries we have should now be pointed at Iran and Russia.

I think all of us have issues with Rice, which are primarily issues with State; a lot of us believe she has contracted State Department Syndrom so she catches a lot of justified criticism on that account.

But so far she and GW have handled the Georgia crisis very well. I’m not sure yet how this is all going to play out, but they seem to be striking the proper balance. I’m glad she went to Tiblisi, for one. I’m glad they are pressing the Europeans to rouse themselves from their torpor to make a response. I’m glad for whatever symbolic aid has been delivered and hope they can do more and do better.

I don’t always agree with her, but I like her a great deal.

“Is it because you are a balanced diplomat ready to look at both sides and find a solution? Or is it because you are an incompetent frumpish hysterical female, wholly out of her depth, who instead of acting in a civilised manner as one would expect from someone in your position, instead gives lectures which are downright rude, pig-headedly arrogant and most unladylike? “

“So instead of mouthing off about NATO and Russia, how about you shut the hell up, put a sock in it and go back to inflict yourself on your students? Rumour has it you were pretty much hated in academic circles as well, perhaps not as much as in the area of diplomacy, which your very presence insults”

Since this is Pravda, it’s got Putin’s OK.

I agree.

My use of the term loony meant the “thought process” involved in putting out such drivel.

Is it possible that “Baghdad Bob” has a new nom de plume?

As far as the “Russian Military Machine” goes, they only succeed against those smaller and less well armed, always have.

The Georgians need to close the pass through the Caucasus by any means necessary.

Until the US can devote more attention to the region Putin and his KGB thugs will do as they please, unless, of course, certain European nations grow some “Man parts”.

She knows them... too well.”

If this guy thinks Rice is a failure. what does he think about Not-so-bright Albright? What all happened on HER watch? Didn’t she and Clinton turn down having Osama Bin Laden in USA custody?
This guy has a short memory for history, IMO.

Oh, I don’t know. The Rice rant and any how-to article about sex with a sheep provide equally as much literary value to me....

Please don’t be in a hurry but, the next time you are near a vision center you might want to have your eyes checked.

When did the democRATs start writing for Pravda?

When I read that first sentence I thought someone was posting something from the NYT or DU.

More evidence of Russian racism and especially, the severe lack of decent psych meds in Russia.

Last I remember they tie their mentally ill to beds with sheets and just drug them with sedatives.

Of course the author is a Brit, but clearly in the communist camp
