Condi Rice Gives Bush Credit For All Manner Of Dubious Accomplishments

As we saw on this past Sunday's iteration of Meet The Press, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has emerged as the foremost message force multiplier in the advancement of President George W. Bush's presidential legacy. She brings the gloss to this Agence France Press article in vast vats, but one should special attention to a section that Spencer Ackerman expertly targeted:

The war on terror has failed to eliminate Al-Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden, but the US-led coalition and Iraq are close to defeating the group's Iraq branch, she said.

Critics charge that the fall of Saddam Hussein, a secular Sunni Arab leader, opened the way for Al-Qaeda to launch operations there.

First, why not groove on that passive take on world affairs there in that second graph. Actually, "critics charge" that it was the invasion and occupation of Iraq that opened the way for "Al-Qaeda to launch operations there." Let's remember that it was, in fact, President Bush that saw to the opening of al-Qaeda's "Iraq branch." So, he's come close to closing it? Wow. Good for him. To me, the folding of Bush's Iraq branch of al-Qaeda is more or less just another end-of-2008 media layoffs story.

Check out the Global Pulse video on this, showing how different TV news around the world are covering the issue.

Watch it here: http://www.linktv.org/video/3425

I'm an intern with Link TV, the nonprofit that produces Global Pulse. Interesting to see how the rest of the world is reporting on the news.

Osama bin Scapegoat was assassinated, as confirmed by Benazir Bhutto on British television (available on YouTube) before Condoleezza urged her to return to Pakistan, where she herself (Bhutto) was assassinated.

Condi: LOTS of intelligence. No brains.

[1differentdrummer]

Does anyone care what she says?

I don't understand how Bush has almost eliminated the threat. Cheney is still the vice-president.

[legalgirl]

More crap for Christmas! Helluva job, Condi!

Bush beans and brown rice. . . recipe for disaster

Spin, Condi, Spin. Give it up, already. Nobody's falling for it anymore.

Condi Rice: The most worthless Secretary of State in American history.

yeah, i dont know why anyone is giving this highly educated capable woman any credit.
Who cares how awesome you are, if you are following political policy that makes you seem stupid and incapable of solving problems?
Who cares how super duper smart she is, if she has used her abilities to further the ambitions and plots of a despotic, moronic, doofus with zero political knowledge like Bush? hes just a richer, more entrenched male version of Palin.
Sorry Condi, you went to the dark side, and you're still there.

"Highly educated capable woman". That's the glowing storyline, ready to be written into history books.
Alas, the known results caused by her actions will make this sound a tad irrational and will be judged by posterity NOT according to her wishful thinking.

[swift goat pet for truth]

Highly educated, ACADEMICALLY capable. Practically, another gross incompetent.

DO I ACTUALLY BELIEVE ANYTHING THESE IDOTS SAY? NOT

[lungfish]

Is it just me or does Condi look and act like Amorosa from the Trump TV show "The Apprentice"? Remember how Trump snubbed her for her repeated lies and manipulations and fabrications as she failed to deliver on most tasks?
I think Amarosa also worked in the WH... press corps or something.... anyone know more about this?

This gang never missed a chance to throw fuel on a fire, from again destabilizing Somalia just as an islamic group, tough as that is to swallow, was bringing order (piracy anyone, as the country falls ever further into chaos?), by funding Ethiopia's invasion, to declaring Kosovo a free country, to encouraging Georgia to defy Russia, to Korea, Afghan, Iraq, Iran, Gaza elections (no one could have guessed Hamas would win--no one, except the PA and Israel, who warned those two boneheads of the risk) to encouraging Israel's invasion, devastation of, and defeat in Lebanon, discouraging peace talks between Israel and Syria, ignoring numerous warnings of an impending attack before 9/11.... What phenomenal losers--at almost every turn, their judgments about how to handle national security and foreign affairs were wrong.

Did Bushie buy her a House next door to him in Dallas.... so she pop out and be His Voice when he has something to say. Just another Bush Puppet.

The only difference... she talks in 'complete sentences'. Complete Nonsense... but W. T. F
