Thread Name: BS: Observations of Republican Convention
Subject: RE: BS: Observations of Republican Convention
So for all the Republicans who have been lambasting Obama for his willingness to sit down with leaders, even those deemed to be "dangerous", what do you say to Condoleeza Rice's visit with Gadhafi? Seems like a bit of a double standard to me. Yes, I am aware they have been taken off the state sponsored terrorism list, and sanctions were eased, etc, etc, but still-he was one of the most reviled leaders to Americans not so long ago. Families of the Lockerbie flight victims are furious at this. Personally, I still don't trust the man. If Obama was the one meeting him, he would be raked over the coals for this, no question about it. All the Limbaughs and O'Reilly's and Hannity's and Beck's would tear him to shreds, but somehow its ok for Rice? Sorry, don't think so.
