The Upper Mississippi River Basin:Life, Worship, Sports, Transportation, Golf, Politics and other bizarre behaviors in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The Quincy area has a history of tolerance. We seem to suffer fools gladly.
Trump says Condi has no negotiating skills. She walks off the plane, smiles and waves. Then she says hello and nothing happens. Other Countries laugh at our proposals.

Give us a couple examples.
Now do Albright.
0908,
Far as I know, Trump didn't give any examples. I would guess he'd list Spain and the China Trade trip, if you pushed him.
1018,
As soon as Trump says anything about Albright, I'll post it here.
Trump.
Choosing between Trump and Rosie is like picking sides with either Stalin or Hitler, O'Reilly or Obermann, Damien or RoseMary's baby or Woods or Prior....
Some choices you just want to skip.
But, what do you think about Donald v. Rosie v. Barbara?
Nice dodge.
That's just one of those "New-York-is-The-Center-of-The-Universe" things.
ZZZ...
I have yet to hear Condi actually answer a qyuestion. She is the most vague public figure ever.
And she's a lousy Secretary of State.
But she can sure glare at her questioner and let him know he's an unpatriotic dog robber.
She's one of Jimmy Carter's biggest mistakes--and he made some beauties!
I do not blame Sec. Rice for the lack of diplomacy - she is following the President's direction. Sometimes I think the President feels compromise is a sign of weakness. He believes he is 100% right and since he is 100% right what is there left to even discuss - it is impossible to negotiate with someone with that philosophy.
Rob,
You could say the same thing about Colin Powell....until he held up the little bottle of "anthrax". There comes a time when an otherwise well-meaning person voluntarily goes over to the dark side of dishonesty. She traded her integrity and personal honesty for an office in Foggy Bottom. She'll write her memoirs and make a pile of money. No doubt she'll have lots of memos which show she spoke truth to power and was nobly trying to hold things together.
It's not like she didn't know what she was getting into when she hopped on board.
To be fair, this is the lot of all foreign policy types. They're always on the make, trying to find a politician who goes to the top. Kissinger, Zbiggy and Allbright did the same thing.
