You just can’t make this stuff up. Just when you thought this Administration had hit rock bottom, they outdo themselves. Unbelievable. Somewhere in the recesses of the WH, you’ve gotta believe that someone’s still trying to figure out a way to preemptively attack Iran.

Dr. Rice is there now in the region , she doesn’t seem to realise that she is a chicken without a head in a lame duck administration that has merely nine months of its mandate left. How can a supposedly intelligent woman believe that she and Simian Bush can achieve what they haven’t seriously tried to accomplish since 2000 i.e. going on 8 years of wasted and misdirected energy. They didn’t learn that the road to peace and stability in the region is through Palestine not Iran or Iraq. Let’s hope that whoever is US president by this time next year will at least use their brains (all top runner have good brains). Hopeful by then Dr Rice will be back playing Chopin’s etudes on her piano; one thing she is at least reasonably good at!

Well, it would at least explain one of the great missed opportunities of the past few years. When Fatah lost, we coule have treated the Hamas-favoring parliament the way we treated Sein Fein in Northern Ireland. Everybody knew Sein Fein was made up of (nominally ex-) IRA members; everybody pretended that they were no longer part of the IRA, and so could be treated like normal legislators. And it worked — we got peace in Northern Ireland, and the IRA terrorists faded away. Since all of those Hamas-leaning Palistinian legislators were at least nominally running as independents, why didn’t we do that? It might not have worked, of course. But it also might have. I have no idea whether the VF story is accurate. But it would explain the particular failed approach that we actually took.

But not so unexpected to me.
I told it many times and on this forum as well , - it is hard to find any more incompetent , arrogant ignorant and stupid administration in American history , then this one…
