Rice All Over, World War

Rice is the food of world war, if its Susan Rice and Condi Rice. While U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice snipes at her critics for blasting her lies around the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, her alter ego, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (for that is what we must call her) puts an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for the U.S. to back intervention in Syria to overthrow the regime in Damascus. Though one is nominally a Democrat and the other nominally a Republican, both are in service to the same British Empire. They even have family relationships in common. Condi Rice was the protégé of Josef Korbel, while Susan Rice was the protégé of Korbel's daughter, Madeleine Albright. Lurking in the background, is one-world fascist H.G. Wells, of whom Albright is a professed admirer. So, it should be no surprise that Condi Rice, in her op-ed, is a full-throttle advocate for British Imperial policy in the Middle East, which is to say, a policy hardly distinguishable from that of the Obama Administration. She makes Iran the bogeyman for everything that's wrong in Southwest Asia, and glosses over the role of Saudi Arabia and Qatar in backing jihadi elements in the Syrian opposition. They are, after all, only doing it in response to Iran's backing of Hezbollah and Hamas and the Shi'ites in Iraq. We have been wasting our time getting trying to get Russian and Chinese support for resolutions in the UN Security Council against Syria instead of leading the world. "In recent days," Condi writes, "France, Britain and Turkey have stepped into the diplomatic vacuum [left by us, that is] to recognize a newly formed opposition that is broadly representative of all Syrians [let's see how long this fantasy lasts]. The United States should follow their lead and then vet and arm the unified group with defensive weapons [there's that line again] on the condition that it pursues an inclusive post-Assad framework. The United States and its allies should consider establishing a no-fly zone to protect the innocent [and then leave them in the hands of al-Qaeda gangs like we did in Libya?]. America's weight and influence are needed. Leaving then to regional powers, whose interests are not identical to ours, will only exacerbate the deepening sectarianism." Condi Rice, as many will recall, was part of the gang that brought us the Iraq War in 2003, with their claims that the U.S. troops would be greeted with flowers and the toppling of Saddam Hussein would bring a new era of freedom and democracy to the Middle East. We all know how that worked out.
