Ok, technically the headline is Rice rejects talks with Iran, Syria on Iraq, but the principle is there. And please read all the way through, the end is the scariest.
A bipartisan commission of experts that took months of testimony and information to come to a comprehensive report on her administration's screw-up of a war, and she rejects it out of hand.
She rejects what Wes Clark has said for a while.
She rejects what Kerry has said.
Hell, she's now fully rejecting something she herself was willing to move on NOT A WEEK AGO. She's rejecting what the ISG said the PRESIDENT (who, as we know, is such an open minded chap to new ideas) was willing to consider.
As she herself is quoted in the article:
"If they have an interest in a stable Iraq, they will do it anyway," Rice said.
Yes, because I know that's what I think of when I think of diplomatic relations. One nation that wants things, and all other nations of the earth giving them their every wish for nothing in return. None of that give and take stuff, that's for pansies like France.
But oh no, this article isn't done quite yet. Why is this diary tagged with "The Rapture" you ask? Well, as I understand it, one of the signs of the Apocalypse is a great army marching through the Holy Land. We aren't quite there yet, but....
Rice also said the administration would not retreat from its push to promote democracy in the Middle East and reiterated her commitment to pursuing peace between Palestinians and Israelis, the Post said.
"Get ready. We are going to the Middle East a lot," Rice said.
Oh dear.
