Rice and Powell: Bush and Cheney's Puppets

[MartialArtist68]

Sorry about the threat earlier. I got a little over-zealous...

I wasn't singling them out because of their skin color. To be honest, until you mentioned it I hadn't realized they were both black. I was only pairing them together because they both appear on the news under similar circumstances. Like I said, they both displayed characteristics that led me to categorize them under similar terms. If Rumsfeld had done the same things, I would call him a "puppet" too. But he didn't.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Cheers,

MartialArtist68,

Knock of the name calling. Calling Glenn childish and unprofessional was unwarranted. Threatening to go to the mods when he did NOT call you a racist was unwarranted.

At the time I write this you have apologized. However, you're clearly reading too much into certain posts and responding in a "knee jerk" fashion. You've done it in this thread and one other.

I sent you a PM a while back discussing this. Now I find myself openly cautioning you to be more careful in your responses.

Regards,


Steve

Thanks for the reply and follow-up. I look forward to many spirited discussions.

Regards - Glenn.

Umm, excuse me. I actually do not single people out just because of their skin color. I don't look at people as black, white, etc. I find it childish and unprofessional that you bring that up. Just because somebody's black or whatever DOES NOT MEAN that they can't support whomever they choose. I just saw a pattern in how they defended GWB, even under such radical decisions like war.

Do not ever portray me as a racist again or I will go to the mods. Understood?

There is no need for this, MA68. I'm glad you apologized - it's important that we all try to stay calm while talking about heated issues.

BUMP


With Powell's resignation and Rice's reported ascendency to Secretary of State, this might be a good thread to bring alive ....


Thoughts ??????

Is it just me, or does it seem like Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell are the "puppets" here? First of all, they are completely spineless as far as the current events are concerned. They have yet to show any substance as far as Bush's decisions are concerned. I will continue to research this matter. In the meantime, what does everybody think?

I think that they are very different -
Colin was a loyal command trained dog
and Rice is Bush's favorite little B---
