- perre, on 12/17/2008, -4/+91The outgoing Secretary of State appeared visibly shaken that someone let a critical thinker into her administration's press conference. "Who let that one in?" she was overheard saying as she made her way to the exit.
- Batfishy, on 12/17/2008, -1/+66Sure, Condi, as long as billions isn't real money.
- HenkC, on 12/17/2008, -1/+51She's not lying. They never really saw this as American money. They saw this as their money. Like the war is their war. No matter who pays for it.
- Turambar, on 12/17/2008, -2/+52Come on, at least Colin Powell had the decency to lie and then feel bad about it later.
- SheilaNoya, on 12/17/2008, -1/+41Billions of dollars wasted and thousands of lives lost don't matter.
But lie about getting a blow job and we'll spend tens of millions to investigate, prosecute, and impeach. - eco57, on 12/17/2008, -4/+42ROTFLMFAO. She just needs to get out more! After all, she's just...er...Secretary of State. Oh wait. Actually, she'd know a lot more if Cheney didn't micromanage so much. You know the type. I mean, that SOB is President, he's secretary of state, he's the whole ***** CIA, and the FBI. You just can't kick that guy out of your office. Know what I mean?
- Dumbledorito, on 12/17/2008, -1/+26Oh, sure. Theft, unaccountability, looking that way and counting to twelve, but not corruption, oh, no.
No-bid contracts? What no-bid contracts? What do you mean gas is cheaper if Halliburton isn't refueling our vehicles?
Wait, Blackwater is getting paid more than our soldiers are? And that's saving us money how? And they're not working under the military code of conduct? Really? - freedomjoe, on 12/17/2008, -1/+25Is she still talking? Why? No one takes her seriously. Not American money? It was minted here. It was our currency. Soooo...how is it not American money?
Ohhhh, right. It's the Fascist version, Ministry of Truth to the rescue again. We can count on much more revisionism of the most nauseating kind...and when all of the Bush crimes are exposed, we'll be needing our air sick bags and a sense of humor. They make Nixon, Blago, et al look like children stealing crayons. Why does msm beat the Blago bs to death, and never inform the American public about the REAL crimes, the ones where people are dying and our constitution is systematically being decimated????
Where are all the freeps? They were taking Digg over before the election...Have they all gone into hiding? - RogerStrong, on 12/17/2008, -0/+20Yup. And it's not just her.
Popular history tells us that Britain looted India. But in reality Britain *lost* money on India, and all her possessions. What was happening was the East India Company was looting the British treasury with the help of a few paid politicians.
Check out the links to corruption stories in this article, and you'll that Haliburton and friends are doing the same thing.
Vice President Cheney is the former CEO of Haliburton, and still owns considerable stock in it. Cheney's war has made him very rich indeed. - Bagos1, on 12/18/2008, -0/+18The depth of corruption in this government is bottomless.
- authorfriendly, on 12/17/2008, -1/+18Whenever I see her on TV I get mad, as I have never seen a human being (or even a politician) so inclined to lie, and yet she seems so reasonable to the uninformed
- eco57, on 12/17/2008, -3/+19You *are* joking, right? I mean, the implication in your statement is that Dubya is a frickin' genius. Is that what you mean to say?
- ErickStevenson, on 12/18/2008, -0/+15Who cares we can always print more money!!!!!!!
- bushisadumbass, on 12/18/2008, -0/+13For someone who has a Doctorate's degree, Rice is a very stupid person.
- Batfishy, on 12/17/2008, -3/+15Rex - The job of the VP is to become the new POTUS should the President die or resign. He or she also breaks tie votes in the Senate.
You've been letting Sarah Palin do your thinking? - jjamminjon, on 12/18/2008, -0/+12Thank for spotting us the money, China.
- eco57, on 12/17/2008, -1/+13Her history has been a source of discomfort for me, too; for I know there are some who I respect and admire who taught her and thought she had great promise. And she's a pianist! But alas, she took a wrong turn somewhere. I don't know if it was the power, or what. But I got the sense she either lost her bearings, or she was readily bent to the will of others, or both.
- eco57, on 12/17/2008, -1/+12Rex, please permit me this short and painless exercise devoted to extending our vocabulary: puppet, patsy, chump, fall guy, mark, dupe, sucker, cat's paw, instrument, stooge, tool, figurehead, doll, pawn, slave, flunky, mouthpiece, token, front man. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
- xenuxenuts, on 12/18/2008, -0/+10hopefully, if he indeed committed crimes, he'll spend the end of his life in jail.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/18/2008, -0/+10Federal Reserve Notes aren't lawful money so I guess this is true...
- alesis1, on 12/18/2008, -0/+10No, they invested all of it with some guy named Madoff.
- malex, on 12/18/2008, -1/+11Nothing promotes honest, informed discussion about the very real errors that have occurred in this war like a Freeper bursting into the room and shouting "I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE NOW."
- Zoshchenko, on 12/18/2008, -0/+10The ***** have spun so many lies they now believe they are the truth.
- eco57, on 12/17/2008, -1/+10Rex! Those names weren't for you!! That's Dubya, you see?
- kerouac906, on 12/18/2008, -0/+9It was borrowed money, hence, not our money... Like that time I lost my Dad's money at the Casino, sure I lost it, but it wasn't MY money!
- Valyn, on 12/18/2008, -0/+8No, she just thinks the public is too stupid to realize the truth. Problem is, its almost true. Sure a lot of people here on Digg can see the truth, but most of the US is not informed enough to even know about these these. Which goes back to the media: TV is god to far too many Americans, they believe every word that FOX/CBS/etc tells them.
- Batfishy, on 12/17/2008, -1/+9rex - so you are saying that Cheney has been doing GW's bidding?
- Valyn, on 12/18/2008, -0/+8"Not of American money. Not American money. I don’t think that you will find that anybody is arguing that there was corruption in the American programs."
True statement. Nobody is ARGUING that there was corruption. Its taken as fact that there was corruption. No argument needed. - Calcularius, on 12/17/2008, -1/+9She had intelligence on her desk pre-9/11 saying Saudis were planning on hijacking planes and flying them into buildings... so either she is one arrogant, short-sighted, stupid moron, or completely evil.
- Batfishy, on 12/17/2008, -1/+9She did take a wrong turn, but that woman's resume is impressive.
- novenator, on 12/18/2008, -0/+7she also called a population center of 200,000 a "small town" at one point. Except for the biggest little city in the world, this just demonstrates her ignorance
- Kenzan, on 12/18/2008, -0/+7And so it begins....
Hope you like stripes.. - Autodidaddict, on 12/18/2008, -2/+9wow. just wow.
- ErickStevenson, on 12/18/2008, -0/+7I'm surprised people are still shocked by this news. What did people think will happen? This isn't Family Guy....
- inactive, on 12/18/2008, -2/+9I heard she is a neutered hermaphrodite who eats homeless ethnic babies backwards by digesting them in her colon and excreting the waste on sheets of paper she uses as notes in her press conferences...
just a rumor - nick111, on 12/18/2008, -0/+7Given that the whole attack and invasion was as a result of corruption, I think that's doubtful.
- bipolarruledout, on 12/18/2008, -1/+8Doesn't change the fact that she is a tool.
- gernblansted, on 12/18/2008, -0/+7And while we are comparing the two, let us keep what they each did in perspective, seeing as we want to be straight up about all this.
Libby lied about exposing an active CIA intelligence network and all it's assets for cynical political payback. Clinton lied about having a private consensual sexual affair. Libby lied to investigators who were trying to determine who carried out the calculated deceit of secretly compromising US security interests. Clinton lied to investigators who had spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and years of intense investigations to find ANYTHING to nail him, and in the end came up with getting Clinton to lie about a sexual affair.
Of course, justice should be blind - they both lied under oath, even if their lies were quite different beasts. It's probably better, though, that the US didn't make itself the laughing stock of the world (except for radical Muslim countries, of course) by removing/imprisoning a US President for getting blown and lying about it.
Certainly, Osama Bin Laden is happy with the outcome. Had it not been for the impeachment of Clinton, Bin Laden - who's whereabouts had been discovered in the middle of the whole show - would probably have been assassinated long before 9-11. It turns out that Clinton and his administration thought twice about killing him once they found him - which they had originally planned to do - because doing so during an impeachment might have resulted in charges of 'wagging the dog' and an almost certain guilty verdict from the Senate.
But, hey, that criminal Clinton walked. And poor Libby got 2 and a half years of... Freedom? - RogerStrong, on 12/17/2008, -0/+6It's damn hard to imagine THIS guy and the brains behind the operation:

(Bush II's "Fool me once" quote - a real classic from the Daily show.)
I remember a statistic from a few years ago, where Bush II had done 5 press conferences with questions and answers - where at the same time in his presidency Bush I had done 200. Even his campaign "debates" were scripted - pre-canned speeches only, no rebuttals or questions from the other candidate allowed. - inactive, on 12/18/2008, -1/+7Don't forget to bring a towel.
- inactive, on 12/18/2008, -0/+6Condom
- JenniferInMO, on 12/17/2008, -2/+8@rex: I have met people like the guy you described and I have underestimated them. I have even played dumb to my advantage in the professional world, but I just don't see it with Dubya. It is possible, but I just don't see it.
- Discola, on 12/18/2008, -0/+6It wasn't US money when it was lost, we gave it to them and THEN it was lost, see? it's so much better that way!

They never do go to jail. They always buy a penthouse and write books instead. Even so, he'll never have any privacy again, thanks to the high position he held. - jeffbw, on 12/18/2008, -0/+6Of course not. All Rethuglicans know that those of us who pay taxes aren't "Americans."
- inactive, on 12/18/2008, -0/+6She's ugly, rex, and you're deluded.
- phonebill, on 12/18/2008, -0/+6Has anyone ever noticed Ms. Rice on video? She did an excellent interview several years back in which she was defending US policy and defending Bush. She would respond in the affirmative while vigorously shaking her head "no." Anyone watching knew that "no" was the correct answer, but she spoke one thing with her voice, and the opposite with her body language. She was a horrible liar, which is surprising since she had had so much practice.
- NeverReturnKid, on 12/18/2008, -0/+5How much did the Iraq War cost again? That's how much was lost due to corruption and incompetence.
- GovernmentsGun, on 12/18/2008, -0/+5Lets take a simple test. How can you tell if violence and corruption are rampant in an are? Check for a politician.
