Why is this an issue? Columnists and journalists were writing about the existence of this offer from Iran months ago. If they knew about it, how come Rice doesn’t?
When all is said and done, the world will be holding a mass trial for the entire Bush Administration, holding them responsible for all the suffering and loss of human life during their reign. Did anyone ever think the U.S. of A. would ever come to this?
Rice is pleading the “I don’t recall ever hearing about this” defense. Apparantly, if you are completely out of the loop on groundbreaking foreign policy events and/or have a very short-term memory problem that poses no problem for continuing to serve at senior government positions. Just like when she said after 9/11 that no one in gov’t ever imagined a plane being hijacked and crashed into a prominent building (notwithstanding the numerous exercises conducted pre-9/11 for just such scenarios). Then you can go before Congress and the American people and mislead with a clear consience.
It is taking all the corruption, lies, murders and other evils in corporate government, whatever can leak out of the their MSM, to begin to convince some poor, middle class and simply rich conservatives that oligarchs don’t have your best interests at heart. Liberals have known this all along, but we had nowhere to turn to but the Big Oil Democrats. Now we can vote for grassroots Greens to fill in between good Democrats. No more straight Dem tickets!
For a Bush insider who has bounced around the upper reaches of the current renegade administration since the beginning, Condi certainly doesn’t seem to know much. Clearly in over her head as Nat’l Security Advisor, she hasn’t shown much more of her purported intelligence and savvy as Sec’y of State. She never heard of al-Qaeda until after 9/11, she ignored the memo “Bin Laden to Attack in US”, and now she never heard of the Iranian overtures to the White House. Like every other member of the Bush administration she is over-rated, self-important, and either out of the loop, stupid, or a liar.
The real tragedy is the Iranian
overture came from a “moderate” president of that important country, open to reforms at home, willing to take on the Ayatollahs, and offering to communicate meaningfully with the US. But “bring ‘em on” cowboy diplomacy is the preferred approach of the idiot son who is our president, so Condi can’t ever remember seeing the Iranian offer.
Would that Coyotita’s predictions of a new Nürnberg for Bush and pals would come to pass, but it won’t happen. These bastards will retire to their oil-profit mansions, watching New Orleans burn from Trent Lott’s rebuilt Gulf Coast hacienda. I doubt we’ll ever see them pay in any way. If all the failings, incompetence, lying, corruption and disdain of the Bush administration weren’t enough for the American voter to send them packing in 2004, there is no hope for our country.
We must actively free ourselves from the disinformation machine. This must be a constant effort on our part, just as DISinformation is their constant effort.
Someone must demand clear answers and hold these people to account. We must learn to parse their public statements carefully.
Note Rice’s words and the words of her spokesman: she never “saw” the document. According to the Reuters article, both used that word.
Alright. That may be true. I can believe that.
However: Did she KNOW about the overture? Did she HEAR about it? Did she just refuse to look at it? That, too, I believe. Else, there is more incompetence than even this administration can be believed to display.
The comments above assume see = hear about, exactly the inference they intend.
Listen to her or Gonzales, Snow or any other of them carefully.
They do not speak to inform, they speak to mislead.
Hopewithheart’s comments are very true. Every one of this gang’s carefully (”I don’t do”) nuanced words is calculated to fit into an exact legal description of whatever they say, so it is cannot legally be held a lie. “Mushroom cloud”, “unmanned drones”, “45 minutes to attack US”, “Mohammed Atta-Iraqi meeting in Prague”, “Saddam-9/11 link”, and so many more deceits like them, may have been lies told to America without legally lying. Once the adminstration talking points are made known, the right-wing chirping parrots make sure all Americans hear the lies, while leaving clowns like Condi with some plausible deniability. However, on all these reports/denials one of two things is true: Bush and pals are liars, or they are incredibly incompetent. My take? They’re both.
If they haven’t lied in a legal sense, they have many times over been guilty of, at the very least, making negligent misreprentations and, more probably, false or fraudulent misrepresenttations in order to deceive and mislead the American public. The mainstream media for the most part went along with the deception and still do so. It is very difficult for many to admit that the country is governed by such charlatans
So let’s talk out loud about this prior olive branch. And how about learning about Iran: watch some of their own films; take a pictoral tour, read up, talk to a Persian.
If enough of us talk and tell the truth, maybe the lies will just start to sound so outlandish they’d never be mistaken for truth. While we’re at it, we’ll realize that the house of Saud/Bush/Carlyle in the light of day, are cowardly, audacious, disconnected, duplicit, murdering hypocrites. In dynasty there is “nasty”… and a loss of humanity — often in the guise of incompetance. It’s quite obvious that they just don’t care. They are playing their own game.
This is off topic, but how come the world’s finance ministers could gather for a photo op and seem to have no shame or embarrassment that none among them are female? Such a spectacle, as a photo op, looks absolutely ridiculous! Our paradigms have GOT to change.
I believe we’re talking about the same person who was admonished by a fellow American for shopping for a new shoe wardrobe on the day after Katrina. Wasn’t her boss (aka Commander in chief) giving war speeches on the eve of Katrina after being told a Category 5 hurricane was approaching New Orleans? Should we expect any more from these two world leaders?
Based on the “evidence”, this is another example to add to one of the many characteristics of this corrupt, lying administration… Ignoring communiques from within their own departments and from foreign governments that may prohibit or delay the murderous direction of the neoCon policies in Arab countries. We saw it with 9-11, we saw the deliberate ignorance with internal memos from the State Department, the CIA, NSA, and his own advisors (who are one by one leaving because they-just-won’t-listen to facts and reliable judgement).
The “heat” was enough to change direction towards N.Korea - keep it up, and maybe Bush-the-idiot-monkey will begin to talk to Iran.
We should all hope so.
The real president of the United States, Dick Cheney,has already declared among his AIPAC Zionist buddies that they, meaning the Administration, will not negotiate with the “terrorists”, but that they will dedeat them. Does that mean he wants no negotiation with Bush and Condi Rice?
I am disturbed by the anti-semitic comments showing up here. You know who you are, and I suggest you knock off the frequent use of “Zionist” as a descriptive. Does it occur to you that to most Jews, that word spoken by a non-Jew (or an obvious hater) has the same connotation as the “F” word for homosexuals or the “N” word for blacks. I consider this site civilized and driven by passionate ideas and rational analysis, not racist invective.
Having gotten that off my chest, I’d like to say that the only real and substantive way in which this administration and it’s pathologies
can be held accountable to the American people and to the world community is through formal impeachment. It may never be completed, but it must be started in Congress ASAP.
As has often been pointed out, the electorate could claim non-responsibility after 2000, since we gave Gore the popular vote and had no input into the Supreme Court’s disgraceful actions to install Bush in the presidency. However, after 2004, we’ve been on the hook for the systematic destruction of lives, property and U.S. prestige around the world, not to mention the impotence of the Senate and House. It’s on us, the American electorate. Through us, we’ve got to reclaim the dignity and credibility of our government by impeaching these obvious criminals. As with Watergate, it would be a declaration that no one is above the law in our society, and that we demand accountability for this cascade of deception, ideological insanity and human waste and destruction, both in the middle east and among our own troops, dead and maimed.
No impeachment, no accountability, no moral future for this nation. As it is, any rhetoric from anyone in the White House, from Bush on down, and from most so-called “leaders” in Congress, has lost its very meaning, let alone its potential to influence. It all smells like the same putrid, insubstantial spin that has engulfed every definable issue of importance to our people. It’s precisely crafted to evade responsibility, deflect positive action, and perpetuate the “us vs. them” paralysis that has gripped our government and much of our population.
Impeachment will “focus the collective mind” of the American people, just as it did in Watergate, and even during the Clinton travails (his lying was the true offense, not the sex). If ever a president and vice president deserved to be impeached…?
Get behind impeachment…assail your Congressman or woman…this is the only way to recover our national soul.
Didn’t this also happen during WWII, when the Japanese Govt sent several letters (through Switzerland, because the Japanese embassy in the US was closed) requesting peace negotiations with the US, but were ignored by the US because the military were itching to use the A-bomb somewhere other than the Alamogordo Test Range?

Israel,zionism and the Hebrew religion are not one and the same. Furthermore this forum allows freedom of speech or at least I think it does. We are allowed to read what we loath as well as what we love.So who appointed you the keeper of the content of this forum? “Haters” non-jews? Really!
If you consider this site as civilized,driven by passionate ideas and rational analysis than you speak for yourself and let others do the same!
Impeachment is not going to happen, but wait!
We must demand immediate resignation from both Bush and Cheney. Nixon resigned over a lie about the Watergate breakin and in that case hundreds of thousands of innocent people did not die, millions of people were not displaced , half a billion dollars was not wasted, America was not the most hated country in the world. We should demand the immediate resignation of these thugs today,tomorrow and until they are gone from the Whitehouse and in prison for war crimes,treason,lying to start wars,the usurpation of the Constitution and all the other crimes they have comitted.So get to work on this. Nixon was threatened with impeachment and that forced him to resign. Instead of getting caught up in words use them to get rid of these scoundrels.
Rice is a pathological liar, who has supported the GOP/s Cheney’s and Bushs Lies from day one. Everything that has come out of their mouths for 6 years has been a lie, WMD, Chemical Mobile Labs, Uraninum From Niger, LIES LIES LIES
This woman is in totally over her head, she missed the briefing before 911, and now this. I was once fired for stealing a bottle of shampoo at a pat time job back in high school, she gets away with these kinds of mistakes. WTH
Condoileeza:
“Unfortunately, oil has been corrosive across much of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Besides fueling deeply rooted antagonisms among ethnic and religious groups,clumped together within artificial ex-colonial boundaries, as in Nigeria and Indonesia, sudden infusions of petroleum wealth into poor countries matter-of-factly promote corrruption, cronyism, civil war, or the emergence of strongment. And from west Africa to the Red Sea and the Caspian, companies have proved quite willing to employ bribery and corruption, promote civil violence, or even encourage war. Outside of North American or European countries, where some form of democracy previously existed, it has never spouted from an oil derrick, or developed under the tutelage of ExxonMobil, BP, or Halliburton. To characterize the 2002 political milieu of Gabon, an International Monetary Fund working paper used the title “Escaping the Curse of Oil?” In the petro-imperial age, this prospect seems daunting.” from Trumpets of Democracy, Drums of Gasoline, American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips.
They have been selling lies to us and were nodding. Unless we shake the head they will continue.Kahiye
First off, I want to say, to all of you, that I TRULY LOVE YOU FOR CARING ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING. Being a student in Georgia, I’m all too often disheartened by the seeming pervasive apathy that I encounter nearly daily. I also want to say that Bush & Co CAN and MUST be held accountable, ASAP, and that the PEOPLE THEMSELVES must take this responsibility upon themselves. This process has already started (bushcommission.org) and we must take it to the next level on our own(worldcantwait.org). Do we still run this country? If you say no, what say you to taking back the reins? Don’t give up guys, it’s always gonna be a constant struggle, but we must press on. myspace.com/stopthesuffering
