[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

Lots of foreign affairs today.

[Bahbah]

I guess I'll have to watch Meet the Press so I can see Condi pound nails in Kidwa. She is an amazing lady.

[Catspaw]

It'll be interesting IF they have Condi and Kidwa on at the same time. They may put them on separately--and if so, it's our loss.

[Huck]

So, what's the rule of thumb? Whatever Powell says, assume the opposite is the Administration's position?

[mware]

It'll be interesting IF they have Condi and Kidwa on at the same time

Is Kidwa the person to make the racist remarks about Condi???

[doosee]

Must be dreaming. No McCain or Lieberman today. Oh, I know why, McCain is too busy finding loopholes in his CFR laws, and Lieberman is in hiding. His colleagues are tied into the IMclone failure.

[bradactor]

Joe is also preparing to maybe run with Al again as we start singing "Al and Joe, part2."
This will be good if that happens.

[bradactor]

Listening to Powell now on Fox News Sunday with Tony Snow. He is just reiterating what President Bush said in his speech.

As he is saying, "President Bush is candid in what he says about the Middle East."
Brad

[Carolinamom]

Powell's response to Al's speech: "With all due respect to VP Gore, that's nonsense." LOL

[mware]

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell just slammed Gore for Monday morning quarterbacking.

[estrogen]

They just showed a clip of AlGore blasting the Bush administration for using the war for political purposes. What an a--hole. I hope he goes all around the country with this mantra........Hillary's boos at the concert won't compare to the reaction he will get

[bradactor]

Powell is also being very critical of the Clinton administration and how they handled the Middle East. He said Al Gore should have talked about in his recent campaign speech which is what it was in my opinion, how they failed on their watch, lol.
Brad

[mware]

I love it!!! Tony just showed a clip of how the Clinton Administration was offered Bin Laden and refused to take him. Powell said, maybe that is what Gore should be talking about instead of what we are doing to combat terrorism.

Here it is, from the original thread.  It came from a PA newspaper--different guy, same PA:

Palestinian newspaper slurs Rice as 'the dark-complexioned lady'

Jerusalem Post | 6-27-02 | MICHAEL FREUND

An article appearing this week in the Palestinian Authority newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, criticizes US National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as "the dark- complexioned lady" whose policies have "dealt a blow to the image of the African-American in the eyes of the vast majority of the world's inhabitants."

Itamar Marcus, director of the Israeli Palestinian Media Watch, quotes the article published on Sunday as saying:

"My enthusiasm for George Bush increased after he entered the White House and chose to appoint to his administration two people from among the colored, a first in the history of American administrations: Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.

"We said then, both in private and in public, that these colored senior officials are a part of the Third World, even if only due to the color of their skin," Dr. Abd Al-Aziz Al-Maqaleh writes in the Arabic-language daily, according to Marcus' translation, which he released on Thursday.

"But what happened after that was embarrassing and astonishing, especially what happened with the dark-complexioned lady, or, more accurately: black, the National Security Advisor," the article continues.

"What compounds the astonishment is that the Black Lady always makes a point, whether the opportunity presents itself or not, of denouncing the Palestinians to the point where her positions and statements have come to be nearly daily lessons to the American people and the world, causing regret to every Arab who was optimistic about her arrival on the political scene."

According to Marcus, the writer goes on to call Rice a "pitiful woman who has dealt a blow to the image of the African-American in the eyes of the vast majority of the world's inhabitants."

Marcus, writing for Independent Media Review Analysis, another Israeli group that monitors the Arab press, comments that "PA verbal attacks on the United States are returning to the frequency and style common before September 11, including personal insults and demonizing of the US."

These latest slurs against Rice indicate that "the PA has now returned to its previous open expression of anathema toward the United States, presenting the US to its people as an enemy of Arabs and of Islam," Marcus adds.

[Carolinamom]

Lynne Cheney up next!

[mware]

Thank you for that article. Somebody better tell them that, that Black Lady, just may be the first woman president of the United States

[Catspaw]

We don't get Fox Sunday until 10 a.m. CDT. We're getting Robert Schuler, I think.

[Catspaw]

Everytime I read that piece of crap from the PA, my jaw clenches.

[Gillmeister]

Once again, Timmy Russert brings out the "ALL-KNOWING" Tom Freidman of the NY Times (he's a reporter) to tell us what he thinks Bush should do in the Middle East. Why do we care what this dolt says?

[Carolinamom]

This thread is almost as good as viewing the program.....gets all the main points.

Lynne speaks so clearly and so well.....also looks very good today. How I wish she hosted Cross Fire again.
