Picture of the Day



















In the middle of a huge crisis over Blackwater between the US State Dept and the Iraqi government, (not to mention, you know, that whole war thing) Condi Rice doesn't even talk to Iraqi PM Maliki at a UN meeting focused on Iraq?

(AP) "Earlier, the State Department's Iraq coordinator, David Satterfield, said the two did not have any one-on-one contact."

She's not involved in Iraq. She's not involved in Iran. She's not involved with N. Korea. She's not involved with the Turks over the Kurds. She's not involved in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or even Asia.

She's really become the White House greeter.

(Of course, she may have learned from Colin Powell that if you go out of town for a few days, you may come back to an inevitable war.)

  • It looks like Mr. Maliki might be worried about his own security...

  • Can't blame him, can you?

    Do you expect him to let the militia infiltrated Iraqi forces act as his bodyguard?

    His Dawa party doesn't even have a militia he can coopt in.

  • Rice is totally useless. She was a made up to have so much potential and to bring a much needed face to GOP-style/GWB diplomacy. Diplomacy aint running a university in Calfornia. Go back to academia...and fill up the ol' coffers...
