Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday (in a room with a governor who said he'd refuse refugees) that she understood the concerns over the security risks, but that the United States needed to accept refugees, as reported by AL.com.
Rice made the remarks at the 38th annual Southeast U.S.-Japan conference, in Birmingham, Alabama, according to the publication.
Among those in attendance was Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) who had released a statement Sunday that said he would not "stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm's way." He was one of 13 governors to release statements to that effect.
Rice acknowledged Bentley at the conference, but said the country needs to be "open and welcoming" to refugees.
"I fundamentally understand that you in a position of authority, like you, governor and others, in addition to having compassion for others, you have to be safety conscious for your people," Rice said, nodding at Bentley. "What the United States has done is to be open to people who are fleeing tyranny, who are fleeing danger, but we have done it in a very careful way that has worked for us."
Put up a few tents in your backyard for the muzzie viruses.
And make room for goat slaughtering, Mecca-bowing, bomb making, clitorectomies, boy-raping, and girl raping.
And the makeshift minaret blaring the call to prayers should be loud enough for the other elite idiots of your neighborhood to hear at 5AM every day.
Lots of people wanted her to run for Pres.
More neocon BS. GO....AWAY.
Follow the $$ with these cretins.
I like Condi Rice.
But she’s wrong on this one.
Go back to your well-qualifed token chair on the CFB Playoff Committee
Or move to Syria and help establish a Safe Zone
No more Third Worlders, PERIOD
You want them around, go with them
Sorry,no sale!
She is a fool.
I don’t like Condi Rice. She’s pretty much wrong all the time.
Yep—part of the great conservative wish to throw off the yoke of the “racism” charge. Has led to the irrational support of Powell, Cain, West, and Carson for high office as well.
The BUT means she is willing to accept any rape, shooting or bombing that comes from this.
FUCR.
STFU CR
Lots of people wanted her to run for Pres.
The same people who wanted Colin Powell to run, and most likely the same crowd that are diehard Cane and Carson supporters. There’s a pattern here.
It’s a remarkable feeling when every shred of respect you had for someone just instantly evaporates.
Karl Rove must have sent her a text message; S.O.S.!! (save our socialists!)
But The US Should Accept Refugees - if they only they get to live on Gitmo....
If she was white, nobody would know who she was.
Hey Condi, still haven’t forgiven you for your two state solution nonsense.
Yup...dumb ass low info Republican Bushy RINO’s.
