Condoleezza Rice: I'm "Proud" Of The Decision To Invade Iraq

Bloomberg :

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she's ``proud'' of the U.S. decision to wage the Iraq war and insisted that the world is not more dangerous than it was when George W. Bush took office.

``We're now beginning to see that perhaps it's not so popular to be a suicide bomber. We're beginning to see that perhaps people are questioning whether Osama Bin Laden ought to really be the face of Islam,'' Rice, 53, said in an interview to be broadcast this weekend on Bloomberg Television's ``Conversations with Judy Woodruff.''

Dear America,

Please don't prosecute me.

Sincerely,

C. Rice

Condi must be referring to the "Royal We", because I don't recall ever seeing her or any of her relatives going to Iraq to fight in the war.

[Wilburrr]

Condi,

Your karma is about to run over your dogma.

[yorkie]

FROM EARLY ON I KNEW RICE WAS NOT THE ONE AS SEC OF STATE, HER MAIN CLAIM TO FAME WAS BEING A TOP STUDIER OF THE OLD SOVIET UNION. WELL, SHE MISREAD THE TIMING OF THE USSR'S COLLAPSE AS DID MOST IN US INTEL AGENCIES. SINCE HER DEBACLE IN MISREADING THE 2001 TERRORIST BRIEFINGS BY CLARK I
VE CALLED HER APTLY-----­-------RIC­E-A-RONI--­---!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! SHE'S BEEN A BUSHBOT EVER SIINCE SHE IS CARRYING HIS WATER AND BAD POLICY AFTER BAD. NO WAY FOR HER IN ANY FUTURE POILITICS I HOPE OR ANY GOP'ER IF BUSH ILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobinL]

"DUH!!!" said Condoleeza Rice.

So what else is new?

[HerbTee]

This woman Condi Rice is the consummate Bush Administration bootlicker. Other than fly around the world in high heels and designer dresses, what has Rice actually done constructively as Secretary of State...except to parrot the typical Bush bluster and rhetoric. At least Colin Powell had the decency to resign as SoS once he felt Bush either used or duped him for the UN speech supporting this illegal war.

As an African American, I try to honor other African Americans like BO who have achieved greatness in spite of often difficult odds against them. But to now hear this woman say she's proud of the decision to invade Iraq, I have lost what little remaining respect I once held for her. Bush, Rice and the rest of their ilk are like having painful boils on the buttocks of all Americans. The sooner they are all lanced and excised from the backsides of collective America, the better we'll all feel afterward.

Obama/Sebelius for 2008
OR
Obama/Clark for 2008

Amen!

I was told as a child that if you tell a lie and expect to get away with it you must be willing to stick with that lie no matter what, well this administration has continued to lie and stick with them. The trouble with their lies is that no one believes anything they say anymore.

[watchingthings]

Too bad that so many people have died because of their lies.

[jw]

Ms. Rice is not lying when she says she is proud of the invasion. The problem with the NeoCons is that they actually believe their own BS.

[dagnome27]

She's "proud", we're broke and despised worldwide, and "W" and his buddies (who are all probably soon to be immune from prosecution) fiddle while America sinks into the third-world hell-hole the Republicans have made of our economy... PERFECT!
Condi - wake up and smell the disintegration of our society... are you "proud" of your part in that?

[crusty]

Nice to know she's "proud" of the disaster she has created. It makes her so much more human!

[iRob08]

Proud, eh? Maybe she should go to Iraq and express that sentiment to the Iraqis personally. She'll have to talk loud over the bombs and screams, though...

[mimsnpips]

In all fairness only the word 'proud' is in quotes. I'd like to see or hear her complete sentence. Condi would have been running for POTUS except she has been humiliated by her boss. Yet she stuck by him. Unreal.

[KQuarksSuperKollider]

You Obama supporters are just a bunch of surrender monkeys. McCain is a war hero who believes in Reform, Peace and Prosperity. It's even painted on the side of his new fancy plane.

Reform - McCain knows who every lobbyist is by name and their clients too so he knows who to keep out of the white house.

Peace - McCain will win the war in Iraq and bring peace at home by attacking Iran.

Prosperity - McCain is going to prosper even more with his tax cuts to the tune of $350K/year. That will pay for two weeks of Cindy McCain's shopping sprees.

[BWonka]

Besides - he's a bus driver, a common man. Very common.

OTOH, maybe you were kidding.

[imsosure]

I'd say she is even more proud of the fat paycheck she gets and the free travel.

[ChiGuy]

As Spike Lee used to say, it's the shoes.

[wanj]

Somebody please give this woman a mic... a loud mic. Let her talk till November!

Obama '08

[KQuarksSuperKollider]

I hope McBush picks her as VP. Nothing could solidify his choice as another four more years of Bush.

[MajorKong]

Condi really isn't stupid. With a whole lot of hard work and a bit of luck she might make a passable assistant VP of marketing somewhere.

[ChiGuy]

Mickey-D's is always looking for top notch shift managers.

[Passenger57]

And that's her problem...she ISN'T stupid, and yet she lashed herself to the decks of the Bushtanic,talked him up at the 2000 Pub Convention, is National Security Adviser when the 9/11 attacks happen (and her national security advice to Bush was...?), lied under oath before the 9/11 Commission about "never imagining that terrorists would use planes as weapons",scares many Americans with her "mushroom cloud" talk,and now she's "proud" of the decision to invade Iraq,as if that decision didn't come with massive repercussi­ons-deaths of Americans, deaths of Iraqis,the siphoning off of billions to Iraq...too many to list them all.
She belongs in jail, if only for the 9/11 lies.

[crusty]

She'd probably sell a LOT of shoes!

[SEQUOIABISON]

Condi, if you had to dig deep down into your psyche what would you say was really, really, really the reason we went to war with Iraq?
