US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has sought the advice of former US presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton ahead of a planned Middle East peace parley scheduled to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, in November or December.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Saturday that Rice met with Carter this week. The two reportedly discussed the peace talks Carter brokered between Israel and Egypt in the late 1970s. The White House called the meeting with Carter positive and "to the point."
Rice has also spoken with Clinton, who led the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians in the 1990s. "[Secretary of State] Rice is trying to learn from others what can be done and how their experience can be adapted to today's situation," McCormack said, adding that Rice placed great emphasis on "learning from the past."
The State Department also reported that Rice has recently conferred with former UN Middle East envoy Dennis Ross, as well as her predecessors James Baker, Henry Kissinger, and Madeline Albright.
Rice has stated that she intends to devote the rest of the 14 months remaining in her term to establishing an independent Palestinian state while ensuring Israel's security.
Condi: Let me talk to Jimmah and the Bent-one so we know what NOT to do.
This needs a BARF alert!
my hope is that this is entirely symbolic, a sort prophylaxis for any foaming at the mouth from that small percentage of our population that is the loudest and most obnoxious — the left.
What is in the water at Foggy(half blinded) Bottom(the pits)?
She’s been around the careerist so long at State that she’s become infected. Good luck, Condi. Remember, no matter what you do, these guys will stab you in the back. And Maddie will turn the shill for sure.
Hopefully from the STUPID mistakes of the past!
Hey, Jimmuh and Bubba, tell me what you would do?
Then do the exact opposite
Good composition
Where is the barf alert?
I suppose that the appearance of carter’s and Clinton’s names could be constrewed as a barf alert.
My God, she’s finally hit rock bottom...
LOL! Very funny!
LOL.Not too long ago,a few folks here felt Condi would make a good presidenial candidate........
That’s true.
Her star has certainly dropped over the years.
She’s incompetent...it’s that plain and simple.
Yeah, so much for the Toe Sucker’s book, “Condi vs Hillary”.
Maybe Condi will be Hillary’s veep/(((shudder)))
Why in the world would anyone believe for a second that the chauvinist Muslim pigs would listen to anything at all a woman, a black woman, has to say....much less negotiate diplomacy with her??????? Her appointment was a mistake from the beginning.
“Learning from the past”. LOL! No kidding. Whatever those two fools said, do the opposite.
