Condoleezza Rice gives Trump administration “credit” for taking on foreign policy challenges

[Terri4Trump]

Wow, so now you agree with Trump, what a shock.

Hah! Good catch

She was part of a disastrous administration......

That's a lie.

She’s a disgrace.

That's a lie.

Anyone care to post something truthful and helpful to the conversation?

She helped lead us into two terrible wars, one we are still in. Complete disaster.

Both wars are still going on. The damage done by them when they invaded Iraq has not ended. Everything that took place in Syria is directly attributable to our invasion of Iraq.

If Iraq were still a regional threat to Iran they would not be taking tankers and maybe bombing oil refining stations.

Our invasion of Iraq will go down as one of the worst decisions in the history of the planet.

Our failure to carry out the war according to military strategy was the massive error. We had the choice to go in and completely wipe out Hussein's organization and select competent sychopants to take over military control. We allowed a serious power vacuum which has directly resulted in unacceptable instability in the entire region.

As a matter of fact, our entire Mideast Policy is a farce and completely unacceptable.

Rice, Powell, Bush and the rest of that crowd are directly responsible for it.

I don't understand your post. The military action was perfect. We took over a country that size in a couple of weeks. The failure was the political aftermath. First we established some boob as the "leader" (I forget his name) that cause anger among the Iraqis and it went downhill after that.

The failure was invading a sovereign nation that was no threat to us. The failure was in creating a power vacuum that was filled by ISIS and that allows Iran to do the things it is doing today. The failure was the arrogance that thought we could change an entire society and mold them in our image. And Rice was an integral part of all of those failures.

Damn straight.

What most of these blind pigs don't realize
is that so many of our elected officials have been bought by foreign interests (particularly the Chinese) that the president's fight is not just abroad it's right here at home in the chambers of Congress also.

Wrong answer.

As I posted before:
If we had invaded Germany in 1937, all of WWII and the Holocaust and the destruction of Europe and the following cold war would have been avoided at a miniscule tiny cost. Of course, I don't expect shallow socialist propagandists like you to think so deeply, but Bush did.

Saddam was every bit as evil as Hitler in his behavior. He demonstrated a willingness to invade neighbors. He WAS developing nukes, which the Israelis destroyed in the 80's. He DID use WMD's on his neighbors the Kurds, killing millions.

Again, I do not expect thoughtless shallow trolls like you to think this stuff through.

George Bush likely saved millions and millions of lies preventing whatever holocausts Saddam was dreaming of.

But you go right ahead and stick with your little CNN KoolAid analysis of what happened.

There are a lot of evil people out there in the world, 99% of them we just ignore.

Iraq was never a danger or a threat to the US. That you are ignorant enough to compare them to the war machine that was the Nazis says a great deal about your lack of education. We invaded Iraq with the plan to transform the Middle East into a region friendly to the US because they sit on much of the world's oil supply. Well, we did indeed transform the region, but into something far worse than it was.

Without the invasion of Iraq there is never an ISIS, Iran is not taking over tankers and bombing SA.

Yes, he used WMDs, WMDs that we gave him to fight Iran with, but they did not tell you that in your talking points email.

Well, if we were running trillion dollar surpluses and had a billion person army, we could handle them all. But we don't.

So we just worry about the ones sitting on top of oil. because it is not the evil part we care about.

Useless speculation, completely ignoring the realities of 1937.

Saddam was every bit as evil as Hitler in his behavior.

Well yeah we knew that about him when he took power and hanging several members of the opposition party members of their Parliament. That didn't stop Raygun from supporting him with all kinds of US goodies in an effort to win Iran back.

However by 2003, Saddam was not even a threat to it's neighbors because, as ms. Rice pointed out in the summer of 2001, he had not been able to rebuild his conventional army or his WMD programs that were destroyed when the allies liberated the tiny Kingdom of Kuwait.
