Rice: Military Power is "Not the Way To Deal in the 21st Century"

www.salon.com

Rice today, on an airplane to U.S. reporters while traveling to a NATO meeting, would be too brazen to utter:

Russia is a state that is unfortunately using the one tool that it has always used whenever it wishes to deliver a message and that's its military power. That's not the way to deal in the 21st century.

Whatever one's views are on the justifiability of each isolated instance, it's simply a fact that the U.S. invades, bombs, occupies, and interferes in the internal affairs of other countries far more than any other country on the planet.

Rice claims, "countries don't use military power to deliver a message" now.

Talk about a hypocrite!

Why does she utter this nonsense when she was right in the middle everything that has been happening the past 8 years.

Rice is going around the world for Bush threatening military action in whatever country Bush decides needs to be threatened in order to get them to bend to his will!

She was right there in the middle of it all, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, and yet she has the nerve to say;

Russia is a state that is unfortunately using the one tool that it has always used whenever it wishes to deliver a message and that's its military power. That's not the way to deal in the 21st century.

How does she think that the US (Bush) gets his message across to other nations?

She should know, she's the "messenger"!

Now KEyhole, we all know that Bush and co. are not using millitary might to prove a ponit get a message across or anyhting like that. They are fighting for our freedom and to protect the world from evil. We all know that.

Uh-huh...People have short attention spans. I think Rice, McCain, Bush, all seem to be banking on this. But I don't think it's going to work this time. You can't have troops stranded in Iraq for 5 years and claim that attacking other countries is not the way people do things these days.

They're not just dangerous, they are stupid. And they're letting it show.

Is this woman for real or has the US army just been 'pretending' to invade, sorry... liberate Afghanistan and Iraq with brute military force?

Maybe it's just me, but i was under the impression that America was a military bully and now she has the damn right cheek to accuse Russia.

I hope she chokes on her own hypocrisy, that woman is responsible for the loss of many, many lives and has an awful lot of blood on her hands and the foul stain of hypocrisy smeared all over her face.

Talk about Orwellian double speak...
