Condi is MAD at the world: Be PATIENT with Iraq! It's very HARD!

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged patience as Iraqis work through political differences and said the United States will be "more than pleased to stand down" and leave the country once it can safely stand on its own.

"I think it's time we stop saying that the Iraqis want to devolve into civil war. That's not what they want," Rice told an audience Wednesday that included Indonesian foreign policy scholars and government officials.

A member of Indonesia's parliament had asked Rice when the United States intends to pull its forces out of Iraq, which like Indonesia is a majority-Muslim nation. Rice concluded a two-day visit to Indonesia with praise for the country's transition to democracy from authoritarian rule...

Rice accused "foreign terrorists" of fomenting violence in Iraq and said the world owes Iraqis patience and confidence that they can succeed. "It is hard, there is no doubt about it," Rice said. "These are people who have resolved their differences for most of their existence by force and coercion or oppression," she said. "Now they are trying to resolve their differences, to bring together these various sectarian groups on the basis of compromise and politics. It's very difficult to do that."

boggles the mind.

Quote: "These are people who have resolved their differences for most of their existence by force and coercion or oppression," she said. "Now they are trying to resolve their differences, to bring together these various sectarian groups on the basis of compromise and politics."

She is speaking abot a 3.000-year civilization. They invented politics there when we were still sitting on trees.

Force and coercion or oppression - that is what the Western countries have been employing in the Middle East and elsewhere, and often enough downright murder.

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged patience as Iraqis work through political differences and said the United States will be "more than pleased to stand down" and leave the country once it can safely stand on its own."

You forgot to mention the oil...

Seriously, I don't think our government EVER wants Iraq to stand on its own.

No idea of mores of other countries.

As she is only a SHEEP being used by them as a Poster child

Hmm.... sounds like the Bush Regime to me.

It's time to be patient with IRAN, since we were NOT patient with Iraq.
