Condoleezza Rice Speaks Out, Blasts Obama For Embracing America’s Adversaries

There is no mistaking that Condoleezza Rice is a staunch neo-conservative, but during the 2008 campaign, she remained largely silent about her choice in the election. Well, the 2012 cycle is different, very different.

Rice has already come out front to say that she believes George W. Bush deserves a great deal of credit for the path he provided Obama to follow, and the tools he employed, even going so far to say that Bush deserves much of the credit for the assassination of Osama bin Laden. Now, in an editorial for the Financial Times,  Rice offers scathing criticism of President Obama:

The rush to court adversaries has overshadowed relations with trusted allies. Our engagement with Europe has been sporadic and sometimes dismissive. Strategic ties with India, Brazil and Turkey have neither strengthened nor deepened in recent years. Hugo Chávez and the Iranians have bitten off the extended hand of friendship. There is no Palestinian state because it will only come through negotiation with a secure Israel that is confident in its relationship with the US. The decision to abandon missile defence sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, to “reset” relations with Russia was pocketed by Vladimir Putin who quickly returned to his anti-American ways. Friends must be able to trust in the consistency of our commitment to them.

Rice has obviously bought into the conservative narrative that President Obama is “apologizing for America”, even though there is no evidence to support that line of thought.

Internationally, President Obama has actually adopted several of George W. Bush’s policies; Guantanamo is still open, drone attacks still occur –  at an increased rate, and Obama has done nothing to undo Bush’s surveillance programs.

There was no Palestinian state while George W. Bush was in office, and that’s mainly because Israel has no interest in a Palestinian state, and everyone knows it. With regard to missile defense, it may not have occurred to Rice, but America doesn’t have the money to keep throwing at defense.

But as it stands, this is what politics in America has become, groups of people retelling the same tired talking points. Apparently, Rice is no different from the rest.

    The stupid b***h need to look what she and the other Neocons have done to the Americabn economy. The country is broke,because of her and George Bush, policies of invading another sovreign nation with false information. Maybe she spend so much time laying on her back with her legs in the air that she never camme up to catch her breathr and to see what they have done to the economy. The enemy wanted to destroy our economy and she and her boss policy surely support their effort.. Somebody need to tell the cu-t that she no longer running the show.She need to crawl back under the person she has been under for the last 4 years and stay there.

      Ask yourself …”Who financed the invasion?” Who has our currency by the gonads? It is the Federal Reserve better known as The Central Bank. It is not a part of our government. It is a private bank that we lease control of our currency to Through The Federal Reserve Act. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act and Americans will have control of their currency and their tax dollars. But no one in our government has the courage to do this. A famous quote…”Give me control of a nations currency and I care not what laws they legislate in their legislature.” Control of currency is total control over jobs, commerce and security. The Business Cycle rises and falls at the will of The Bank. Financed wars always puts money into the pockets of the bankers. In this world war always gives a return and profit. Our brave soldiers die and are injured for profit. Yet the central banks neglect the care of the veterans and lets the legislature squeeze the ink out of the greenback. Money walks and social programs are for the dead and dying. But alas America is conditioned to accept crumbs for sustenance as we have given up the farm to well financed corporations who are on the hook to The Central Bank. It is a formula to American disenfranchisement. Even the Tea Party will not take on The Central Bank, better known as The
      Federal Reserve. Apparently The TEA PARTY has not been taxed enough.

    Condoleezza Rice will answer the call to serve her nation. She has done it before. And she may do it again.
