Condi warns Iraqis again. Does anyone in that country ever listen to her?



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Something horrible happens in Iraq and Condi makes a perfunctory statement. The American media dutifully covers it. But does anyone in Iraq care what Condi Rice tells them? Seriously, anyone?:

Gunmen in Baghdad killed a prominent Shi'ite Islamist politician on Saturday as Condoleezza Rice appealed to Iraqis not to let sectarianism destroy their country.

In what looked like a sectarian assassination, Ali al-Adhadh of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) was shot dead with his wife as he drove in mainly Sunni west Baghdad, police and SCIRI member Adnan al-Obeidi said.

U.S. Secretary of State Rice said during a visit to Vietnam that Iraqis "have one future and that is a future together. They don't have a future if they try to stay apart."
She just sounds like an out-of-touch lightweight. Wait. That's what she is. It's way too late for Condi to weigh in. But we're probably due for another one of her surprise photo op visits to Iraq.
