The word is that John "Swift Boat" Kerry is going to be tapped for the
next Secretary of Defense. That in spite of the fact that he'd rather be Secretary of State. For that position, the rumor is that it will be offered to Susan Rice (current US ambassador to the UN). Which has me asking - what is it with the US and always appointing a women as Secretary of State? Why do you people have this insane penchant to put a person without balls up against an increasingly hostile, militant, MUSLIM world? |

And now Oren writes the lamest comeback I've ever read in this newsgroup: Canada worships some females (idolatry). Look on their paper money. Some females even have control of some military commands. (Princess / Duchess) Canada has never appointed a female as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The feminization and castration of the United States continues with the appointment of the next FEMALE Secretary of State and the continuation of Janet Napolitano as the head of Fatherland Security. |

![]() Why do you people have this insane penchant to put a person without balls up against an increasingly hostile, militant, MUSLIM world? So far as the Muslim world is concerned, I would imagine you could have certain advantages or disadvantages by having a male or female Secretary of State. They are probably choosing the best option no? I've seen some men "shake in their boots" when their wife is mad at them. These women can resort all sorts of terrible punishments if they are ticked at someone, the worst being the dreaded "silent treatment". Best to have these weapons used to our advantage! |

Besides being on an extended vacation and collecting frequent-flyer miles for the past 4 years, what exactly has Hillary accomplished? Having Egypt slide into hard-core islamic control is going to be the biggest foreign-policy failure of her tenure as Secretary of State - something that you people will look back on and realize a few years from now. |

Mubarak lost control of Egypt because of a food crisis (high prices). People did not want the islamo-facist gov't that is creeping upon them, but that's what is happening and will continue to happen in any muslim/arab country when you take the Strong Man out of the picture. All those billions of dollars in aid you send to Egypt every year, and you were too ****ing stupid to see it used wisely in such a way that would have kept Mubarak in power. And worse - Egypt's military powerbase has also crumbled and is being reconstructed islamic-style. Iran apparently has no problems re-engineering Egypt to their liking. And other arab states as well. That is your failing. That's what you get when you put women in charge of your foreign policy for the past 12+ years. |

But even so - it was good (for you - and the rest of the world) while it lasted. Just watch your other bum-buddy in middle-east - Saudi Arabia. There's another country that's going to go full-tilt into islamic hell when the current king dies and there's no clear successor amongst his dozens of ******* offspring. Who is Bush going to hold hands with when that happens? |

While the Sha of Iran was the StrongMan in power, Iran was under control. You need a strong-man in charge of islamic / arab countries because they are incapable of governing themselves without islamo-facists eventually taking control. If you did not install the Sha when you did, if instead you (and the UK) kept out of the affairs of Iran, then 9/11 would probably have happened in 10 or 20 years earlier than it did. |

For one thing, we *didn't* join your "coalition of the co-opted" in Iraq. We did join you and spill our blood in futility in Afghanistan for 10 years. But we didn't supply all sorts of military equipment to Egypt for years and years. You (and Israel) will be facing those weapons soon enough. Good luck with that. |

And (like Churchill said) the world can count on you to do the right thing, after first doing all the wrong things. |

The US is going to be much less involved in the Middle East in the future. The US is getting less and less oil from there. By 2016 we will be producing most of our oil and getting the rest from North and South American sources. The Carter Doctrine is almost dead. |

Wrong. For one thing, think Israel. The US is getting less and less oil from there. By 2016 we will be producing most of our oil and getting the rest from North and South American sources. As long as you are part of a global trade network for oil, you will have a vested interest that ALL OIL, EVERYWHERE can flow freely (the spice must flow). Because even if you don't import a drop of oil from the middle east, you will still pay a price for oil that reflects it's supply/demand rules. If Iran blocks the straight of hormuz, the WTI and Brent price for crude will shoot up, and you will pay more for oil and gasoline domestically as a result - even if none of your oil comes from there. The only way you can totally divorce yourself from political turmoil and oil supply issues of the middle east is if you set up a closed / isolated oil market within your own country. Your gov't sets the price and your imports and (more importantly - your exports) are regulated by the gov't. Something tells me that your real masters (the oil companies) wouldn't like that very much. We tried that in the 1980's and there was considerable blow-back (look up the NEC - Canada's attempt at a National Energy Policy). |

She is only going through the motions until Jan. or Feb. when she can retire from her responsibilities. I feel sorry for her as I don't think she really wanted the job...she wanted to be President but that was a no-go. |
