"I am deeply saddened by the terrible loss of innocent life," said the Bush White House Piano Player, emerging from a meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz which was, seemingly, taking place while the Piano Player was voicing her CONCERNS to him, she says, about the impact that that Israeli military operations would have on innocent civilian Lebanese life.
How magnanimous of her ... to voice her CONCERNS that, "your bombs," (meaning U.S. made, Israeli launched bombs, will have a harmful effect on innocent civilian Lebanese life.)
How noble of mind and heart to express a free-floating concern, about innocent civilian Lebanese life, without delivering any kind of strong words to the Israelis that they must STOP THE MASSACRE being conducted by U.S. made, Israeli delivered, bombs, on the innocent civilian Lebanese life.
How magnanimous of Piano Playing Condoleezza Rice to understand that, "...this kind of warfare is extremely difficult... [for whom, I wonder, because it does not seem to be so for her and that...] ... it unfortunately has awful consequences sometimes," and with that, go on playing the same Bush encore that, "an enduring peace must be had."
How very noble of this childless woman to recognize that, "this kind of warfare is extremely difficult," then go on to stay the course, and play the ENDURING PEACE score, not for enduring peace, not for the men, women and children of Lebanon (or Israel for that matter) for whom she has expressed concern, not for world peace, but for the People for the New American Century, and for her power-and-control crazed Bushes.
How magnanimous of her to want "a ceasefire as soon as possible" without making demands for a ceasefire NOW and with that allow the massacre to continue.
How courageous of her not to travel to Lebanon after the strikes in Qana which killed at least 27 children this morning U.S.A. time. How upbeat, upper handed, and upstaging of her to say that she called Prime Minister Saniora to cancel her visit to Lebanon-rather than gracefully admit to the Prime Minister's press announcement that he called her requesting that she postpone her visit to his country after said early morning Israeli attack on Qana...
The White House Piano Player must have the upper hand, the beat of her tune must play for the world the notion, much maligned these days, that the United States is a super power well liked and well respected in many parts of the world.
The White House Piano Player is the concert master. She chooses the score. She chooses the tune. She chooses the notes. She chooses the melody or lack thereof.
She must not play any soft notes, lest her heart and mind begin to realize that she is playing to the wrong tune and the wrong notes in an empty stage where her piano playing can crumble and her notes become an unwanted, sourly admission that the world does not want to go along with the libretto, the play, or the piano score upon which her fingers seem to glide.
And yet...
She, the Bush White House Piano Player, keeps on, playing her somber notes and score on a world stage to an audience that refuses her, applause.

I wrote on Anacondi many times. She is a classical phony, a person who had been severely damaged by being catapulted into the role she is too low to play. But in all fairness all our currrent people in charge are that way. And before her Madeleine Allbright, the 'skirty dog' pardon for quoting Serbs and Russians, was a phoney also. Phonyism is deadly.
Did you notice that Condi limits her visits only to those plaaces sshe knows no one will challenge her? She does not go to China, where the press calls her... you know what. She does not like to go to Russia either because every time she is there someone doubts her sanity. She is pathetic. But she is also invincible until someone tells her that. Usually it is mother or faather, husband or wife who says the truth to such person. Condi... she is up to rude awakening when a stranger will tell her that.

madeline albright was not a player i held in high regard.
She too advocated wars and thought the bombing of iraqi children would be acceptable if it accomplished the clinton goal of (containing hussein?). Then, too, she formed too close of an alliance with the Cuban-Americans and Jose Basulto and Sylvia Iriondo down in Miami..which kept her from seeing too many truths about Brothers to the Rescue and the Miami Cubans in general.
And yes, Rice is in for a rude awakening--although it doesn't seem to be happening soon enough!
