Answer a question.
Question: Is there one single Arab country in the world, which really deserves to be defended by the President Bush?
SECRETARY RICE: Let's talk about the Arab people. The Arab people deserve a better future than is currently in front of them. This is a part of the world in which the status quo is not going to be acceptable.
You have large populations that are not receiving proper education. As the report to the United Nations by Arab intellectuals noted, you have 22 countries that have a GDP that is not the size of Spain. This is just not acceptable for a culture -- the Arab cultures -- that were, in many ways, part of the cradle of civilization. How can this be?
And so the freedom deficit, the absence of freedom, has had very dramatic, negative effects in this part of the world. And unfortunately, we in the West, for too long, turned a blind eye to that freedom deficit.
When the President spoke at Whitehall in London, he talked about 60 years of trying to buy stability at the expense of freedom, and getting neither. And what we have gotten instead, is a level of hopelessness that has produced an ideology of hatred so virulent, so thorough, that people flew airplanes into American buildings on a fine September morning; blew up a train station in Madrid; people in another part of the world from another tradition, but the same ideology of hatred, that took helpless children hostage in Russia. This can't be the future of the Middle East.
And so both our security and our moral conscience tell us that this is a part of the world that can no longer be isolated from the prosperity and human dignity that freedom brings. And so it is not what President Bush defends; and certainly, I want to be very clear.
As I said earlier, this is not an issue of military power. This is an issue of the power of ideas, of the power of being able to support people in those societies who are just tired of being denied their freedom.
And so this is a great goal, not just for the United States, but for all of us who are fortunate enough to live on the right side of freedom because in each and every case, for all of us, somebody cared enough about human dignity and human liberty to make a stand in our past. Our ancestors did.
And that's why we all enjoy the liberty and freedom that we do. And sometime in the past, others stood up for us so that we could defeat tyranny and we could live in freedom. And we simply have to do the same thing for the people of the Middle East who are seeking a different future.

Lying.
She is the best in the world. During Bush’s first term I used to call her the administration’s designated liar, because she kept on telling whoppers with a straight face even after Bush and Cheney had finally acknowledged the truth.
She is the best liar, hands down, that any of us will ever see.

She is brilliant at providing a plausible rationale for military conflict or the threat of same.
She is really bad at reading memos like the one titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." that came a month before 9/11

She sure does put Madellane Albright into the shadows.Want to discuss lack of ability, there you have seen the difference.. From mediocre to outstanding.. just in 2 administrations.. Albright was an absolute ineffective failure.

Given her relationship with Dubya, obviously she's a fine house servant. Ugh.
