Unhelpful to what? Newt is right. Condi just went over to the middle East and pulled more of the land for peace garbage. That's insane.
She's not speaking on her on, you know.
Gingrich wants a confrontational war with Iran, which is nutty.
Uh... she isn't "pulling" anything... other than to play the role of the third party diplomat. I don't see anybody jumping in front of Isreali tanks. Nobody seems to be too worried that Isreal is kicking the crap out of Hezbollah. Oh, sure, there's some lip service to pretend... but that's it.
Oh I don't know. To get people to negotiate and make concessions I often put things on the table that I have zero intention of giving up.
Lots of people no brighter than the heads of Middle Eastern Governemnts, and Newt Gingrich fall for that sort of bait.
Of course it has always been easy to fake Perles. All it takes is an imitation gold clasp.
....LOL>...so you think she is a maverick....nonsense.. she does not do anything that isn't approved by the Pres.. If she did...he'd be reining her in for God's sake.....
She went over to accomplish exactly what the administration wanted her to -- nothing! It was all smoke and mirrors and she pulled it off beautifully.
Baloney.
