Clowns
In a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel, Germany's first leader from the formerly communist East, Clown Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice followed up her acknowledgement that the CIA had wrongfully seized and held a German citizen with this defense of Clown President Bush's prosecution of the "War on Terror":
Meanwhile, no one, not even the judge, dares tell Saddam Hussein to sit down and shut up at his trial for crimes against humanity--because, of course, they still fear him.
Why? Because Clown Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld never sent enough troops to actually gain control of Iraq. Read it and get it, folks: despite what Senator Joe Lieberman (Insurance - CT) says, we do not have, and have never really had, control of Iraq. We barely have control of the so-called "Green Zone". Hussein's people melted away with their weapons, and they, along with Islamic radicals, have succeed in bringing Iraq to chaos--to the brink of civil war.
They have the US politically, if not militarily, on the run--and every Iraqi knows it. So don't expect anyone to give the Butcher of Baghdad any lip.
And as The Despot of Iraq sits smirking and sneering while his victims describe the torture they and their families endured, the Liberator of Iraq--Clown vice-president Cheney--continues his efforts to legally sanction the use of torture by--get this--the CIA, here in the birthplace of liberty.
The Bush Administration is the most clownish this country has ever had. They are a grave danger to us all.
''This is essentially a war in which intelligence is absolutely key to success,'' Rice said. ''If you are going to uncover plots, if you are going to get to people before they commit their crimes, that is largely an intelligence function.''You read correctly: Rice defended the use of "intelligence" to "get to people before they commit their crimes" in the presence of a politician who grew up in communist East Germany.

I can't quite understand how Bush can saw (with a straight face) that the US does not use torture. Then refuse to talk about the claims that we did by say he won't talk about security operations.
Rice keeps saying that we don't torture out prisoners. The wording make Clinton's statement about the Lewinsky affair seem straight forward.
The moral standing of the US on the world stage is shot for years now. By playing these games we have lost the high road. It is perfectly possible for us to get what ever we want out of whomever we like without resorting to torture. I guess what they really want is to get what they want to hear. That is what you get when you resort to those means.

He's a clown.
He's a clown.
I have to admit, it is quite amusing watching the Saddam trial when torture is mentioned. The clowns have turned us all into hypocrites.
Apparently he doesn't even have to show up if he doesn't want to. Today he "boycotted" his own trial.
It's actually funny to watch the media cover this stuff without going within a country mile of the implications. Or it would be funny, if it weren't so unfunny.
