		<description>LJD,

Come back when you have something interesting to say dude. No one will be holding their breath waiting...

In the meantime, there must be some typos somewhere on the internet that you can police, since you arn&#039;t in Iraq on &quot;The Mission&quot;.</description>

		<description>O.k. let&#039;s go for the coherent thought part of it.  What part of your echoing partisan propaganda qualifies as debate?  

You remind me of the Monty Python skit:

I&#039;m here for an argument...
No you&#039;re not...
This isn&#039;t an argument, you&#039;re just contradicting me.</description>

		<description>LDJ,

Those who can, debate.

Those who can&#039;t, check spelling.

I think we all know which side of the fence you are on...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;She is simply another incompetent in an administration filled with them. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Interesting coming from one who lacks the ability to spell or form original, coherent thoughts.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not about whether Albright&#039;s policies were correct; it&#039;s about whether she was so incompetent that she couldn&#039;t hold her division together.  Rice is that incompetent.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;didn’t we have a female sectary of state a few years ago that did not have these problems?&lt;/em&gt;

And somehow, I doubt that Madeleine Albright ever referred accidentally to Clinton as her &quot;husband.&quot;</description>

		<description>Rice is a lackey for Bush, nothing more. Her entire career is based on blind loyalty and toeing the party line. She is simply another incompetent in an administration filled with them.</description>

		<description>She is a woman in a man&#039;s world. Say what you want about gender equality in the workplace but I would bet big money (again) that there are males in that Department who just refuse to be &quot;led&quot; by a woman and they quietly do everything they can to make sure she fails.

I expect the very same thing to happen to Ms. Pelosi. Ever notice the sly grin on Mr. Hoyer&#039;s face?</description>

		<description>Rice has been a miserable failure at every gov&#039;t job she&#039;s held.  Why anyone &lt;a href=&quot;http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2007/01/thuds_and_screa.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;expected that to change&lt;/a&gt; is beyond me.</description>
