You wanna fight Iran?
You and which troops?

There is a better chance for members of congress to be truck by lightening than for them to vote for a war with Iran.

Rice has often been pegged as a likely vice presidential candidate – though the former Stanford University has insisted she’s looking forward to a return to academic life when her stint at the helm of the State Department ends.
She to decent to STAY.......She deserves MUCH Better........If I were her I would be running thru the WOODS trying to make HOME!!!!

A charlatan...no different from any others in the Bush KLAN.

Condi baby where would you be without that new weave girl ?

It is sad to see an intelligent lady like Condi with the bad boys.

Now This Administration And Mccain Are Doing Just What Obama Said! Goes To Show Mccain Doesnt Have The Judgement To Be President!

You could at least be honest and give Obama credit for the idea.

Condi Rice for President! She'd get my vote in a heartbeat!

I can't stand Condoleeza Rice. This woman is a puppet. She should have left Bush's administration when Colling Powell did. I will be so happy when this sorry group of crooks are long gone........The economy is in shambles.

This "step" is the same one that Obama has been talking about for months and that he was attacked on for being wrong. This is a flip and a flop. No pretty words or talking in circles is going to change that.

Who is this woman and what does she have to do with US foreign policy? Is she one of the lame-duck's mouthpieces who failed this country for the last seven years and six months? In other words, if she isn't announcing what country Bush is invading next, why are we interested in what she has to say?

Go home Sally Hemmings. No one wants to listen to you.

Ob ama is a twit. I wonder what his real name is? I also wonder what religion he is. I've heard he is a closet Muslim. Nothing wrong with that so I don't know why the negative.

Some of my friends are Muslim and i don't give a hoot. But they are not radicals or ultra liberals either.

I think it would be a big mistake to hand the keys to the White House to Michelle. That is a disaster waiting to happen. OMG.

Wonder if Michelle is still blindfolded with a muzzle on her mouth.

Le Chat qui fume

Great job Rice-no appeasement in this lady.

It is funny, when Obama wants to do this it is bad and now it is the way to go.

Oh no!!!!! This administration is now appeasing another member of the axis of evil!

She has been taken by the vortex and the twilight.

Either way every time the repubs say something the people get hit from their pocket book in all direction. Their failed policies lead to high oil prices slow down in the economy, lost of housing and so on.

A new set of leader to make things right again.

Obama 08 & 12.

Rice is as rigid as Bush. They should both be jailed for crimes against humanity along with Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld once this country is rid of them.

What? NO dirt slung at Condi? Could it be because she's black? No! Of course not. An amazing, accomplished, postive black woman, by the way - the complete antithesis to the other one we've been hearing from lately.

Can you hear the war drums?
If these morons have their way we will attack Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba and anyone else deemed unworthy
How in the world can you say that the U.S. and the other nuclear powers can have nuclear weapons but no one else can? We've proved that we are ready to shoot at the drop of a hat.

Good move Condi, go on back to Stanford.

We get you. US has not changed its stand.... never. Just another diplomatic move. Condi, you sound very much like Bush. You're done!

How can this not be a softening? Before they wouldn't even sit at the same table. Now this is EXACTLY what Obama has been saying he would do...at least sit at the same table. How is this different?

First the GOP and far-right-hate-and-fear-mongers criticize Sen. Obama for wanting to meet with our enemies!! And now, they are going to........ pathetic!

A token for your thoughts or a Republican token?All of a sudden talking to the enemy is ok?

Per the Bush administration - we are not negotiating with Iran??? Barry Bonds didn't know he was using steroids. Bill Clinton didn't have "sexual relations" with that woman. Language is debased.

"Objective" journalism, CNN, is not simply allowing two people with different viewpoints to argue on your network. That's lazy. There is something that resembles the truth.

Terry McCormick

McCain/Rice an unbeatable team!

Oh, Obama slaves, "But there really must be a suspension — a verifiable suspension of their enrichment and reprocessing," she said.

Go away you lying oil tanker!

Basically once again Obama had it right when it came to foreign affairs, and national security.
Obama right on Iraq, right on the gas tax holiday, right on off shore drilling, right on Afganistan, right on Iran, and right on Palestine...Looks like McCain is the one who needs to show that he can lead this country in the right direction.

No...you're just proving Obama right!

I'm sure glad that no other countries told us that when WE were making atomic bombs. Oh that's right, we did it in complete secrecy, during a war.

When one country thinks it can tell every other country how to do things, we end up being the bad guy. If Iran makes nuclear weapons and uses even one, they will cease to exist, and they know that. We cannot possibly be the only smart people in the world able to handle nuclear weapons by ourselves without doing something stupid. I think that diplomacy is important EVEN IF Iran has not stopped developing nuclear weapons. That 's the time when its MORE important to have conversations. When we quit talking, that's when we all get in trouble.

Who is this woman and what does she have to do with US foreign policy? Is she one of the lame-duck's mouthpieces who failed this country for the last seven years and six months? In other words, if she isn't anouncing what country Bush is invading next, why are we interested in what she has to say?

I am really looking forward to the presidential debate. Mcbush better have good answers for this chnge in tone as well as the shift in Iraq

You! Are one Special Lady... Use it... Run with it....

Doesn't this sound familar.

Obama 08

Barack will one up, Condy on this one I'm afraid. He's going to sit in Tehran and have tea with Achtun!medinejad. Then they'll walk hand in hand down to the airport and Mahmoud will wave goodbye to the nice new US president named "Chump".

Unicorn Power! Change for the Better! Lattes for all!
NObama N'08

Well, at least the Obama supporters can't call her racist against black people for telling the truth.

whatever!

So does this mean that they will bomb Iran? No more war.

Be glad to see this shrill automaton return to academia where she can do less harm.

Taking Shrubs stance on talkin tough? Bring em on!! You borrow his six shooters too?

Pay no attention to that man behind the screen.......who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes........what you see is not what you think. Come on Condi, get real.

Sounds like she's a Barack Obama voter since she is embracing his form of diplomacy.

Now, do you think she's an idiot?

When earlier this year Obama said he would discuss with the so labelled enemies of America in order to make America safe, McCain said he was being soft. Now even Bush administration realised that Barack was right and that to make America real safe, there should be dialogue between America and the so labelled enemies of America. You can see that Obama's foreign policy is the right one.
Americans should not be manupulated to taking John McCain as a hero because he was shot down in Vietnam; this is a man that has never been a platoon commander, not to talk of being a company commander.....where has his proclaimed foreign policy experience come from?
Americans are more intelligent than to fall for this type of gimics.

yak, yak, yak...... Are you now admitting defeat?

So basically, "It's not appeasement when we do it," Condi?

Anyone who gives props to the should-be-impeached-for-he-is-nothing-if-not-impeachable Commander-in-Slimeball for sending his #3 guy to Iran for talks is clueless. Don't you see? This is not a change of heart or a president trying to improve his legacy by employing diplomacy for the first time ever.

THIS IS CAMPAIGN STRATEGERY.

Bushy will have a cornucopia of demands, any one of which Iran could refuse to meet, and the Presidolt will say, "See? We tried it Obama's way, and it didn't work. He will be a failure if you elect him. Meanwhile, let's have a new surge, but this time in TEHRAN."

I would love to labor under the delusion that the next six months will go by uneventfully, executive branch-wise, but I am cursed with being a realist. Get ready to Duck and Cover, people.

No not softening it, just Obamatizing it. HAAAAAAAA

It's only "cut and run" when they want to destroy someone's character. It's "re-adjusting" when they mention it.

Condi we don't care what you say, nobody respects you anymore than we do your boss. Condi is the biggest liar and has no international respect either.

George taught us a lesson. If you think the president is a moron, decline the offer to serve. Collin Powell should have done that, and quite frankly Rice should have done that.

Also, George Bush never appreciated the office. He seemed to be acting all the time, always at play. This is not a man I want to lead the country.

Why soften your stance when your boss' directive is to find a pretext for war no matter how farfetched it may be.

This woman did nothing for America. She brought nothing to the table and should go back to teaching as a college professor. I'm sure she can't wait to get away from Georgie, as we can't wait for him to leave the Whtie House.

Nice lady, but did nothing to improve our standings in the world.

This woman couldn't broker a peace deal between a Quaker and the Pope. Ms Rice is a screwed up as the CLOWN that she works for and would be about effective as VP as a snowball in hell. I'm still trying to figure out how she got to be Sec. of State. Like the vast majority of Bush's appointees she was promoted several levels above her level of competence.

A PRESIDENT OBAMA WOULD GO TO IRAN WAVING THE WHITE
FLAG AND BEGGING ...PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSES IRAN OR
ELSE BACK HOME THEY WILL CALL ME MR FLIPPER.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""OR MR FLOPPER"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'

You know what Condoleezza?? I don't care what you guys do next. I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't wait when you guys get the heck out of the White House. I've given you more time and I liked you personally but in the end, you are in the Bush Administration. To tell you the truth, I don't blame Nancy Pelosi for what she said.....

You Reps who have been in this game for the past decade, I don't know what the heck you guys believe and to tell you the truth, I'm ashame saying that...

Rice need to return to academic life somewhere, where no one knows her. Because now she can not be trusted. She should have taken the hint when Colin Powell left but she didn't.

Rice, you're one of the more irrelevant liars left over from this most corrupt administration in history. Still waitin' on that mushroom cloud, Ms. Ferragamo shoe shoppin' elitist during Katrina.

Didn't the Bush administration ridicule Obama for suggesting we sit down and TALK with Iran? Now they are going to do that exact same thing??? LOL!!!!

You know they are not going to suspend their uranium enrichment or means of acquiring nuclear weapon. So, why border to try. You did meet with North Korea and it worked. Why can't we do the same for Iran? It doesn't kill any one to talk to another neither does it take away your intergrity. Infact it puts you in a leadership position.

She is obviously two faced and not completely honest. If I've ever heard more 'beat-around-the-BUSH' talking I can't recall when.

It was stated we would not sit down with them, you are now willing to. Shut up if you are going to double talk. I am willing to hear you say "Yes, but upon further evaluation it seemed prudent to change this policy".

Disgusting back pedaler

Obama only up by 1 point in the Gallup Poll!!!!

Take note Super Dels!!!

Hillary 08

Diplomacy is nice, isn't it, Rice.

Bush is becoming nothing but an appeaser.

Why talk to these members of the axis of evil at all? Why aren't we bombing Iran and shipping more cigarettes to them?

The surge has succeeded. Now we can send troops to free Chezkslovakia from Soviet rule!

Stop Bush the appeaser!

McCain '08

are we just sitting there quitly and listening, every once in awhile interupting the talks with the same tired phrase?

FACE SAVING. Period!

Condi it's ok Condi I know you got Obama's back. I really think Bush does not won't MaCain to win. It seems like Bush is doing his best to help Obama.

Obama is now leading the country's foreign policy? It is about time we have someone with a head on his shoulder leading the country. I am so tired of idiots running this country. We deserve better and we will get get by not voting for McBush.........no Supreme Court rulings this time.

WOW....is it me, Or has George Bush signed on as a member of the Obama Campaign?

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

Can you say flip flop? The Bush folks are seeing the wisdom of Obama's plan on talking to our adversaries rather than just fighting from the get go. Wouldn't it be something if some actual constructive dialog came out of this? NAW...Republicans will screw it up somehow.

OBAMA has judgement, leadership, candor, and a great sense of understanding what is right /wrong in America and the World. Rice, Bush, Gates and other's are now realizeing that OBAMA's approach is correct and has been from Day1. John McCain's campaign to attack OBAMA on national security isnot and will not work, nothing is sticking, OBAMA is like teflon, did not work with Hillary and will not work with McCain. Hillary was stronger candidate for OBAMA to run against by FAR, McCain will never measure up. OBAMA understands that next week he will get all the press coverage all week, then the Olympics starts and not one will pay much attention is the US. OBAMA is so on top of it all. OBAMA-CLINTON; OBAMA-HAGEL 2008!

I have not yet seen one accomplishment from Rice except
be a "yes man" for Bush, if that can be counted as an
accomplishment.
Granted, they take credit for things that other countries
have done and they now say they are not changing
course, but plans have been in the making.
Think she would be a good pick for Mccain as VP, as
they are both Bush republicans, and our country
cannot afford any more of that.

no,they are just seeing the support obama has garnered promoting at least some diplomacy to avoid war.unfortunately,they are copying just enough to say they do use diplomacy,to pander for a few votes from undecideds.if every lame tactic they try gets them one more vote for mccain,they will keep trying to fool us.
