Hey, I believed Colin Powell, too. That was the whole point of the Bush administration sending Colin to do the presentation. The administration's credibility was already shot with the world (not yet in the U.S.) and so they needed a respectable stooge to sell their B.S.
Ugh. An interventionist at the UN. As deplorable as the situation in Darfur is, we as a nation simply cannot afford any more military adventures, however well-intentioned. We are drowning under an ocean of debt, which means we can't be the world's police anymore. It's high time for the Europeans to step up and shoulder some of that burden.
The fact that Susan Rice has "Huffington Post Pieces" destroys any credibility she had.
That is interesting since she did not want the word genocide used to describe Rwanda since it was so close to the November elections. She also did not raise one finger to end it. Dr.Rice is the worst p.ossible choice for the position
PE Obama passed over Susan Rice for SOS for a lesser qualified white woman for political reasons, not the good of the country. That's why he's elevating the role of the UN Ambassador to the cabinet. He will be sorry he asked Hillary Clinton to be SOS. This has diminished him in my eyes.
I don't like Hillary as SOS either!!! Bad choice. It hasn't dminished Obama though. We won't agree with all of his selections.
