Former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice sharply criticized President Obama's foreign policy in her speech at the RNC. I expected this, since that's all they have been doing there thus far; bashing the President and offering no policy of there own. Rice does not have the right to criticize this administration's foreign policy, it's been a vast improvement since it was under her and the last administration's watch. Rice ignored the summer 2001 report that warned of an imminent attack on the US by Bin Laden, as did Bush. Rice lied about the reasons to go to war with Iraq. Rice is a wanted war criminal with warrants out for her(and others in the Bush admin. including Bush himself). A war tribunal found Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield and others guilty of war crimes back in May in Malaysia. So does this woman have the right to make the accusations she has? NO. Arrest her.
For 4 years we have heard NOTHING BUT criticism of 'previous administrations' on every front while never spelling out what barack would do to correct ANYTHING.
His party has failed to do the most basic functions of gov't like come up with a budget.
She has the right to criticize anybody she damn well pleases, aeronaut83, and you know it. As an American citizen. You don't have to listen to her, you don't have to agree with her, but she is entitled to her own opinion. And I'd say her opinion would hold a little more water than, say, my own opinion, seeing as how she was in the midst of all that stuff in a very prestigious, official capacity.
As for the war tribunal in Malaysia, my father had a price on his head for years, issued by none other than the (dis)honorable Kim Il Sung. Gee, should I have turned the old man in and collected the reward? Get real.
As for the current status of our foreign policy, there are many differing opinions on that one as well. But each of us is entitled to have an opinion. Like it or not. Please do not fall into the trap of attempting to silence people. That's a dangerous precedent, indeed.
Would you be asking this question if she had nothing but praise for our current occupant of the White House's foreign policy?
Your disagreement over the job she did or was allowed to do doesn't really enter into it. She is a US citizen exercising her freedom of speech and is probably one the few people who truly understands the mechanics of it.
But I'm not sure what that criticism would be - she, Obama and Bush practically agree of foreign policy when it comes to drone attacks, starting foreign wars to contain threats, putting terrorists in Guantanamo where they belong and building a coalition based on Moderate Arab nations.
Obama is the only one I have heard blaming some crazy film for thier OWN failures, do you have something to back up your statement, or are you just pissing into the wind and getting your face wet?
Arabs are a tribal group, each has thier own Allah beliefs and this groups allah is better than that groups. they are just not ready to be civilized.
did you only want disagreement? here it is, Bush, Rice never used the weak excuse of a movie created the mid east problem. so I asked when did Bush or Rice use such a lame excuse.?
Not only does she have the experience to know what she's saying, she also has the Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of speech! That's a knockout one-two punch.
Hey...did bubba bill have a right to have an intern age of his daughter give him oral treatment in the W.H..... hello.... Democrats need to man up...
Now DNC has bubba bill as keynote speaker.... how degrading...
Hillary stays away from the convention as bubba bill lies about how great Obama is when he actually hates him.... and Bubba Bill is not sure what IS means...ha ha... Democrats are a funny group this election year...
What can we do? bark
She was a horrible secretary of state. She shouldn't criticize anyone for anything. The lady needs to go back to whatever rock she crawled out from under
What embassy was taken over during her tenure? how many during the democrat regimes, Iran, Lybia, Clinon had a few blown up too. 2 in Aftrica, Obama has two in africa. I see a pattern here.

Ms. Rice is probably one of the most accomplished foreign policy experts in our country today. If anyone is has the right to criticize Pres. Obama, it's Ms. Rice.
It's a free country.She can criticize anyone she wants.Just like your doing.Obama does
it every day.He blames Bush for all his failed policies.He lies and Biden swears to it.
Do you think they will act like Angels at their convention.Keep your ears open.
For a female you have a filthy mouth.Did Biden teach you?Then again you fit in with the Obama administration.You don't think Obama isn't having our boys killed?The only criminal is Obama.Every time he opens his mouth a lie comes out.
"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."
Ok but not the point of the question. I asked if Rice had that right; especially with her less than honorable tenure as SOS. In her case, she doesn't, she's a hypocrite. Get it?
What has he done that has harmed us? Did he sign off on the invasion of a country that did nothing to harm us? No that was Bush. Did he allow the worst terrorist attack to happen on us soil? No that was bush. Did he make policy that caused the world to hate us? No that was bush.
But, Obama has gottn the USA so deeply into debt for nothing at all, that we might never get out from under. Or, we might go bankrupt. I did not like either Bush president. Bill Clinton was a fairly decent president.
her, susan rice, Obama, that bozo in the press room should be fired.

Sorry Liberals.
And "war criminal"? I think you done lost it my friend.

failure and Obama seem to be the same thing, only the spelling changes.
"War Crimes Tribunal" in Malaysia? How's it feel to be that flippin' stupid? Get past the left-wing 'group-think', you lemming!
