How many times have I heard Israel say we are going to be multiple weeks months etc at this or whatever only to hear Rice contridict the combatants and say cease fire within the week ....
How can anyone at this point take her seriously at all ?

hedddon:
Yes I want the US to call for a cease fire in fact I want them to insist on it but Rice doesn't seem to be in touch with reality Israel wn't back down until the US starts saying it has to and even then it's dicy but declreing that success is in the imediate offing without any signs therof and all evidence to the contrary seems well stupid

I dislike Condoleeza Rice, but she's not stupid. The problem is the US policy is to back Israel no matter what, and it's getting us into trouble.
If she says she wants a cease fire, that's different than saying there is one.
Never thought I'd be defending Condi Rice, but she was set up on this one.

DK is fairly in all probability disinterested interior the actuality that the help being talked approximately is interior the fashion of bodily seen issues like nutrition, scientific components and gasoline, and that are being blockaded out of Gaza illegally and in yet greater defiance of the UN shape (which Israel is celebration to, yet keeps to miss approximately). the help agencies worried at the instant are not speaking approximately any quantity of money, super or small, that would, or won't, have been misspent by absolutely everyone. What, after all is his reference for his fact? Does he have a competent source? A source that's no longer straight away in touch in this conflict, as working example your very own components are? Is the Israeli foreign places Minister on the subject remember of a Mr. Mugabe? in spite of each and every little thing. we are all plenty relieved to hearken to that there isn't any cholera in Zimbabwe.

um. Ms. Rice is not the "foreign minister." She is the Secretary of State.
Which brings to mind the bible verse about casting the first stone...
Because obviously Condi cannot control Israel. She wants a cease-fire in a week; Israel wants a long-term conflict. That's what negotiation is all about, genius.

That's what's called diplomacy.
However, Israel knows that you can't negotiate with the HezBULLie scorpions. So they are trying to squash them flat.
By the way, there's a good chance the Dr. Rice's (or Secretary of State Rice's, not Foreign Minister Rice's) IQ is double some people (who won't be named) that post questions with two negative choices.

To begin with her title is not "foreign minister."
Dr. Rice earned her bachelor's degree in political science, with highest honors and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
As professor of political science, Dr. Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors -- the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
At Stanford, she was a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control from 1981-1986, a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow of the Hoover Institution. She also served a six year tenure as Stanford University 's Provost.
Her books include Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984).
I would also note that she was born in in Birmingham, Alabama in 1954 and accomplished all these things despite having to battle the twin evils of racism and sexism.
And I bet she knows how to spell "retarded."
Would you now care to tell us what accomplishments you have that make you qualified to pass judgment on Dr. Rice?
Or is it that you are an uneducated, barely literate, pathetic little nobody?

What this means is that she has been more effective than even she expected herself to be. The worst she could do would be to promise a cease-fire within a week and then not get it.

We should all be so blessed to have her education and degrees, not to mention superior intelligence, one of the top jobs in the entire world, etc! Did I neglect to say also quite well-paid? Her job as Secretary Of State is to try to negotiate peace, specifically when one of our allies is involved. She can't actually just say "now come on, you silly kids, stop that!" She has a very difficult job, and I really admire her courage!

Foreign Minister? And all this time I thought she was Secretary of State.

The US has a Secretary of State not foreign minister. Who cares if you take her seriously or not.

Hmm, I don't think "retarted" is the word. Also she's Secretary of State not a "foreign Minister".
