Is Ms.Rice doing a good job or is she trying shooting in the dark?

Question

Just because she was dubbed as expert on soviet union she is now picking up trouble with Mr.Putin.

Answer 1

She is a pure Evil.
Look at the recent photos of her. She looks like an angry evil witch:
Putin treated her like a nonsensical figure.

Putin laughs every time he hears her name:
"What-what does she lick?"
("-leeza" in Russian means "-licker").

Answer 2

I was talking to my furniture a few minutes ago about the same thing, when I read the news headline.

She and Rumsfeld and Cheney were schooled in the '70s/'80s Cold War anti-Russian thought processes, and that's how they've always earned their salaries.

I think it's wholly out of place today. Putin has more power today because of the power vacuum in Russia. The power vacuum exists in part because the United States has sat on its hands since 1991 with respect to helping out all the people behind the Iron Curtain that for 40 years we promised we'd help -- if only they shook off Communism. And then we turned our backs: both Clinton and now this administration (although Bush did show initial interest, albeit not a very thorough interest in helping Russia).

In my opinion, we should've been on the ball in the early '90s, developing a new alliance. They're basically a Western nation; the largest nation on earth; pretty much aligned against China on most things (and we need Russia with us against isolationist China, on U.N. security council votes and on economic and military matters); have abundant natural resources; have military potential and a nuclear arsenal that could team up well with ours; we need to cooperate with them to control the international arms trade of Russian-made weapons, for our own security; they're essentially the most pragmatic, utilitarian culture on earth; they've had an impressive record of scientific advancement and discovery in recent decades; and their people are rather eager to work with us. Seems like a good fit to me.

But instead we've basically cooperated with them on, what, the space station? That we pay for entirely. What a way to help.

lol.

Bill Bradley is the only presidential candidate in the past 15 years, by the way, who ever advocated the wisdom of closer relations with Russia.

Answer 3

She is full of it. Her Appointment of an ICE CREAM SALEMAN with no college degree put in charge of the IRAQI recovery program was stupid.
Include the guy with no business experience put in chagre of rebuilding the IRAIQI stock market when there is not even electricity was just as dumb.

Answer 4
