When I read this kind of thing I always wonder if they believe what they are saying.Seriously. Does Condolezza Rice believe it when she claims that the Bush foreign policy has been stellar? This is a concept that should be seen as laughable by anyone of sound mind.
I pose the question because I honestly want to know. Is she intentionally trying to deceive us into disregarding the last eight years or is this the way she views the events? I hope that she is trying to deceive us. If she feels this is the truth she has obviously deceived herself utterly and to the point where I think you would have to question her basic grasp of reality. Try to comprehend if you can the deliberate distorting of events it would take to truly believe what she is saying.That would be truly disturbing
It is beyond troubling to think that our top diplomat might not have the sort of self awareness and presence of mind to process information in a rational manner. Isn't that the kind of loss of capacity necessary to some how believe that what has gone on the last eight years has been good? Did she think the memo that she tried to have noticed by Bush, you know the one with the soothing subject line about Osama Bin Laden determined to attack with in the United States,was a Ramadan card and therefore didn't push it quite as hard as she should have. At what other key points has her grasp of reality failed us?
If she truly believes her defense of Bush foreign policy. I have to wonder what other balls got dropped. You have to wonder what was neglected while she sat in a dark room and repeated the Darth Cheney talking points until she believed them. What does she call whats going on right now in the Gaza strip? A food fight perhaps? A teenage temper tantrum? Maybe if yall had been on top of that situation instead of making just a token last year effort it wouldn't literally be blowing up right now.
If she truly believes that the Bush foreign policy is an A+ she should lose her position by reason of mental defect and have her PhD yanked on the same principle( I am sure that's not possible but Stanford should do something symbolic)
I hope for the sake of not having a crazy person in charge of diplomacy that she is just lying. Yes I really hope she is lying and doesn't believe a word of what she has just said.
