Condoleezza Rice, outgoing Secretary Of State, has been saying how successful she thinks Hillary Clinton will be in the role when she takes over in January.
Tell The Truthiness Says ; Is Rice soon to flip over to the Democrats? You'd imagine with all that talk, it's got a better than even chance.
The US government has finally removed all terrorist and terrorism references to Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) party on databases.
Even having been released from prison in 1990 and elected to office in 1994, Nelson Mandela and fellow members of the ANC had to obtain a special waiver to allow access to the US.
Tell The Truthiness ; Well done to Condoleezza Rice for pushing for this to be finally changed, but if this is the way the administration treats democratically elected leaders, it makes you shudder to think how they treat everyone else.
It feels like President Bush has just two places he travels to these days, one is New Orleans, the other is Baghdad.
He stopped at Al-Asad airbase in the Anbar area of Iraq, on his way to Australia and following an eight hour meeting with army officials he said he might say something we've all been hoping for, sometime in the future.
If security improves (he's been told it has) at the rate it has, he may be considering bringing troops home.
Tell The Truthiness ; We'd love to know how the British Basra pullout yesterday influenced this statement? Is it like dominos, one goes, the rest follow straight after?
The truthiness blog has to make corrections to the previous story headlined here last night, as corrected by 'Anonymous' that the comparison Ms Rice made was the post war reconstruction situation in Iraq and that in Germany.
Plus the resolutions made for the Declaration of War vs. Authorization for Use of Force in these two very separate conflicts.
But there is one thing we have to uphold here, our stupidness is our own, and not due to being misinformed by Keith Olbermann's MSNBC Countdown. Our inability to understand the story fully is why we got it wrong and not due to listening to an anchorman reporting the news.
Indeed, 'but you get your news from Olbermann' as Anonymous says, we do, but we also get our news from around a half a dozen other sources.
Lets hope you keep things fair and balanced by going after those who only get their 'news' from Fox News.
To paraphrase, 'idiots'.
The truthiness blog says ; We're just excited someone's left a comment!
Yes, Secretary Of State, Condoleezza Rice compared Hitler to Saddam Hussein.
Yes, she did and yeah, we're thinking the same as you.
Hitler invaded most of Europe, sent millions of people to their death, tried to get rid of an entire race of people, supressed free speech and killed himself.
Saddam tried to invade his neighbour, failed, retreated, then was LEFT, LEFT by the US and UK for thirteen years, contained by sanctions, with the UN keeping a continuing eye on him and his gradual running down of his country, while at the same time persecuting of his own people, then we decided to take him out on a false justification, wrapping the flag of nation building around our action as the truth came to light.
The Truthiness Blog Says ; Miss Rice, there is no comparison between the two, the only similarity being the wide gulf between your take on reality and the actual one the rest of the World inhabits.
Your reality stands on a huge, unstable foundation of truthiness.
