Quote - When even your name becomes a joke
EPM pointed me to this piece on Condi Rice's ineffectiveness.
Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas have announced a negotiated peace treaty today (which wouldn't have happened if they had listened to the Bush administration's stance.)
Israeli TV announcers coined her name as a verb, meaning to go endlessly around in circles, accomplishing nothing.

It's funny, until you realize these clowns (Bush admin) have the power -- and ill-temperament -- to instigate unmentionable human tragedy and conflict.

Have you notice that the path to peace -- or at least a somewhat stable non-violence -- has been achieve by doing the polar opposite of what Bush pontificates? Lebanon-Hezbollah, Israel-Hamas... Even Iraq-Iran.
I'm sure this is too much of a simplification on my part, but I do think the world sees Bush as something to be worked around, not with. If he wasn't so predictably dangerous he'd simply be irrelevant.

What a farce. Rice criticizing the Israeli settlers was supposed to please the Saudis. The Israelis ignore her and the Saudis pump a bit of heavy oil that the refineries can't handle.

EPM, I think that's because the Bush admin has been proposing avenues of conflict, non-negotiation and hostility.

Anon, But Iraq made us safer. Everyone respects the president for his courageous decision.

Conflict is good for the arms industry.

And it's been pretty good for the oil industry.

True but I don't think oil at $140 a barrel was part of the plan. The whole world is feeling the pinch now and everybody knows who to blame.
