Rice: Huckabee Foreign Policy Criticism ‘Ludicrous’

Now I know why Foxnews is dissing Huckabee…he isn’t marching in lockstep with the Washington Republican Elites. Maybe it’s Bush’s foreign policy that’s ludicrous? How refreshing to have a republican who thinks for himself. I like Mike!

Rice and the other Bush warmongers are the biggest threat to the U.S. and our liberty. They are bankrupting our country, both financially and morally with there torture and anti-christian pre-emptive war.
On June 5 at the CNN GOP debate in New Hampshire, Huckabee and the other candidates were asked if they would support a pre-emptive strike against Iran using tactical nuclear weapons.
Each of the candidates responded that they would not rule out the use of nuclear weapons, except Congressman Ron Paul who said: “I do not believe that [pre-emptive war] is part of the American tradition. We, in the past have always declared war in the defense of our liberties or to go to aid somebody. But now we have accepted the principle of preemptive war. We have rejected the just-war theory of Christianity. And now tonight, we hear that we’re not even willing to remove from the table a pre-emptive nuclear strike, against a country that has done no harm to us directly and is no threat to our national security!
We have to come to our senses about this issue of war and pre-emption. We have to go back to traditions and our Constitution, and defend our liberties and defend our rights, but not to think that we can change the world by force of arms and to start wars.”
Dr. Paul, who served in the air force Air Force for five years and is a veteran member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, has dealt with important global issues for decades.
When it comes to Iraq and Iran, Ron Paul was right and the other candidates have it wrong! Paul has the understanding and experience to protect America’s national security through peace and diplomacy. His served in the military and beleives in the oath of office, to defend the constitution.

Mark, we do not have a democracy in this country. We have a Representive Republic. If we had democracy, i.e., majority rules, then Al Gore would the President.

Mark, if Bin Laden hates us so much, based upon the writings of the 1940′s, then why was he our ally? Why did the CIA train him to fight the Russian invasion of a muslim country? The answer is simple, oil.
After spending billions of dollars, do anyone really believe that we can’t find “Osama bin Laden” after 5 years?
Why do you think Bush help Osama bin Laden’s relatives flying them out of the US when all other airlines were grounded after 9/11? It’s obvious the Bush neo-cons never wanted to find Osama bin Laden. They needed him alive and well, to continue keeping Americans in fear so that neo-cons could proceed with their agenda of taking over IRAQ and the “controling” their oil, not to mentiion mention tramping on the Bill of Rights. Why else would we they be building a dozen bases in Iraq? Like Korea, we will be there for decades unless there is a real change in 2008.

Maybe Slick Huck is a Democrat. Afterall America’s corrupt liberal MSM press “loves him”…………NEXT!

Huchabee is playing to the bully crowd. To fit in he kicks people when they have the ire and ridicule of those that seem to be in the majority. We are still waiting to hear his platform and plan for the future of our country. So far all we hear from him is jabs and fault finding of what others don’t understand or appreciate. This country should never be lead in that manner.

Isn`t Rice the genius who couldn`t imagine an enemy usiung an airplane as a weapon? Didn`t 9/11 happen on her and Bush`s watch after clear warning? Isn`t it true that our perseverence after 9/11 and Bush`s tragic war of choice in Iraq is due to the spirit of the American people, in spite of the incompetence of Bush and the neocon Republicans? Only Bush and his Republican allies in Congress would point to any progress in Iraq today as a triumph when in fact any competent leader at the head of the mightiest miloitary in history would have made short work of the Iraq war. Even now, Bush`s military commanders acknowledge that the decrease in violence is a product of a partnership with the Sunni`s who were killing our soldiers last year.

Mark: It’s highly simplistic to believe the whole “they hate us for our freedom” excuse. If that were the case, Islamists would be taking over Switzerland–an extremely liberal country that is much weaker militarily.
But they’re not, which begs the question: Why is Switzerland left alone? The answer is quite obvious. Switzerland doesn’t meddle in every country on the face of the earth, inciting hatred among the people of one of the least understood regions in the world. That hatred becomes the primary recruiting tool for extremists like Bin Laden.
And before you go saying I’m “blaming America,” consider this. I’m a life-long Republican, but the problem I have with my party today is its inability to view the government as anything less than perfect. Republicans: THE GOVERNMENT MAKES MISTAKES. This used to be one of the core beliefs which shaped our “less government is better government” philosophy. What happened?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a Republican like Ron Paul and pointing out the federal government’s foreign policy blunders. That’s exactly what a Republican should do! In fact, I would say there is something very wrong with someone calling oneself a Republican and NOT acknowledging the federal government’s faults.

Huckabee has a problem with putting is foot in his mouth. He doesn’t any foreign policy experience. He also doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. If for some bizzare reason he becomes president, he’s going to eat those words.
Come to think of it, that job sucks anyway. Anyone who’s dumb enough to want to president obviously deserves to be one. Here’s the reason why being president sucks:
You only make $400k a year.
Everyone critizes every decision you make regardless of how smart or dumb they are.
You’re traveling all the time in an obsolete Boeing 747.
When you’re finally home after a long 23 hour day and you get to spend three minutes with your wife, secret service has to stand outside the door.
Gay protesters in G-strings are always sitting on your front lawn.
You can’t walk around your house in your underwear. There’s interns and gay protesters.
Death threats force you to have to jog on the White House treadmill.
You still have to pay for the snacks in the vending machine.
Oil companies are always calling for money.
You have to tell them you only make 400k a year, and they turn you down for a job.
Personally I would rather be a corporate CEO.

Benson:
You still just don’t get it, huh? Do you actually think that when Bin Laden and other radicals tell us “to give up our democracy”….do you actually think they expect for us not to practice democracy among our citizens and with other countries who believe the same? That’s like telling them to give up their form of government…..So, it’s not a matter of other nations and people hating us because of our freedom, they attacked us because of our involvements in their affairs—like what Ron Paul said buddy.
Why can’t folks simply understand that….Remember the Cuban Missle Crises? We don’t allow it, so what should we expect other countries to set up camp in their back yards and homeland? Perhaps I’m missing something, huh?

If anything is ludicrous it would be everything that comes out of Condosleezy Rice’s mouth.

The point here is that Huckabee should not be criticizing anyone on foreign relations after he admitted is lack of experience in foreign relations. Back off Huck your starting to talk about a real issue here. Your a lot safer dodging the issues and promoting yourself as the “Righteous Republican”

If the goal of the neocon Mad Hatters was to create in Iraq… a Greek Republic in the middle of the oil patch… It has been an utter failure.
I watched what passes for news last night on tv. The talking head was chattering as to how the surge was working. The accompanying video was HUMV’s and M1A1 tanks firing into Iraqi residential areas… (bringing Christianity, apple pie and baseball to the neighborhood I suppose).
The number of air strikes is also indicative of our bull-in-a-china-shop approach. Until the end of August, U.S. warplanes were conducting about 25 strikes a month. The number rose to 62 in September, then to 122 in October and 120 in November. 4 air strikes a day… and that’s nearly 5 years after we invaded.
The bottom line is that we’re an occupying army in Iraq… nothing more… nothing less. The Iraqis are doing to us what the American Colonists did to the Kings Men in 1776 and what the American people would do if our nation was invaded and occupied. A third of us would turn Quisling… a third would simply accept it and a third would take up arms. Does anyone remember the 1964 election when Goldwater was blasted as being “too ready” to press the nuclear button? How times have changed. We’re now so terrified of our own shadow that presidential hopefuls can actually thump their chests and state that a nuclear sneak attack on a 5th rate power like Iran is acceptable.
During the last presidential election, I threw away my vote by casting it for the lesser of two evils. Next election, I will make my vote count and my voice heard by voting for the only choice of anyone who still believes in the United States Constitution and our founding principles. That man is Ron Paul.

Bush is Anti-Christian. No true Christian would ever do the things he has done and say the things he has said. His administration is right there with him.

I love how the media pulls one sentence from someone. LOL Huckabee has praised the current surge in Iraq and overall has praised Bush’s Foreign policy however you have to be crazy to not see that Bush has done some stupid things. I love that Mike doesn’t care what other’s think. Mike is his own man and thinks for himself.
Go Mike !

And Rice is critical of Huckabee, based on her successes? The accolades internationally on U.S foreign policy? The renowned respect this administration has garnered? She is just one of the performers in the biggest circus our country has ever had!

From the inside looking out, you are doing everything possible. From the outside looking in and in hindsight, you might see a few things that were overlooked. My question, from the outside, is, where was Huckabee when all of this was happening?

OMIGOSH! I LOVE CONDOLEEZZA RICE! <3

Hey guys, I think Bush and Huckabee actually have the exact same views, religious ties and Middle East opinions. See, they know that another Bush term (if there were multiple terms allowed again) or another candidate just like Bush would never happen again (people finally woke up about Bush’s B.S. and real agendas). So, the cons are deliberately criticizing Huckabee to make us think he is different. Be Careful!
