Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former National Security Council chief Stephen Hadley are teaming up as the latest participants in the endless battle of the groups, such as: the Kissinger Group, the Scowcroft Group, the Chertoff Group and other outfits of that genre.

The official launch of the RiceHadley Group, which styles itself as a “strategic advisory firm” for international companies, is scheduled soon. The firm registered its Web site domain name in October.

It will not be exactly a localized operation. Rice, who was Hadley’s boss at the National Security Council during Bush’s first term, will be teaching at Stanford while Hadley remains in Washington as a senior adviser for international affairs at the government-funded think-tank the U.S. Institute of Peace. A third founding partner, Washington lawyer Anja Manuel, is also heading to Stanford to teach international studies.

Manuel was an aide from 2005 to 2007 to former undersecretary of state for political affairs Nicholas Burns. Her firm bio says she “managed [Burns's] involvement in South and Central Asia policy, congressional outreach and legal matters. Among other projects, she negotiated the U.S.-India civilian nuclear accord, and helped to secure passage . . . of the India civilian nuclear legislation.” She was also “extensively involved in U.S. policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan, among other issues,”

In case you are thinking of doing business overseas, especially in South Asia and supposed “emerging markets” in the Middle East and Latin America, you do want to get some serious strategic advice. To paraphrase Condi’s famous statement, you wouldn’t want to find your business under “a mushroom cloud.”

Bria’s Own Words has posted this excellent piece on Condi and her version of ” reality”.

It was also re posted and enhanced by BadGalsRadio.

One wonders how an otherwise respected university like Stanford would want to have her on its faculty, after all that has transpired over the last eight years…

You can send her a note of appreciation for all that she has done for the U.S. and the world condi@stanford.edu

alot of people think that women have no political opinions. well you’re wrong. we have an opinion about most things and politics is no exception.

We Do Not Appreciate Folks thinking of us as Torturers Ms. Rice. just because you are caught between a rock and a hard place by choice, doesn’t mean we condone your actions at all Sista Girl.

Dick Admits he was a chief component in this whole Torture Plot.
Not Nice Dicky Bwoy – “it’s been a remarkably successful tactic..”

if that’s his opinion, then why not give him a lil Water Boarding; and then lets subject him to a lil standing in place against a wall for 1 week, with no sitting down, or sitting at all. wonder if he could make it for 5 mins ? no way..

and Miss Condi, Y’all Know her hands are not clean

to warm you up we want to share this story from the BBC about a Woman in Detroit who’s life was saved by an Underwire Brasierre.  yes an underwire bra.. why – well the news seems to think we’re all boobs. yeah boobs.

NOTTTT

Clutch the pearls forreal girls,

(and no this is not the lifesaving bra – but one we think could do the job)

A US woman had a lucky escape when a burglar’s bullet bounced off the metal underwire in her bra.

Police in the city of Detroit said one of three intruders fired a shot when the woman looked out of her window and saw them raiding the house next door.

The bullet smashed the window and hit her, but instead of causing serious injury – or worse - it was deflected off the wiring in her bra.

The unnamed 57-year-old woman was taken to hospital and released the same day.

“It did slow the bullet down,” said a police spokesman. “She sustained injuries but they’re not life-threatening.”

Teenage gang

The woman, who lives on the west side of Detroit, had seen the youths breaking into the house next door while her neighbour was away.

Police believe one of the gang saw her looking out of the window and fired at her.

The suspects then drove away after the shooting.

Local police Sgt Eren Stephens Bell told the Detroit News: “We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire.”

U Better Recognize..

Yes You Betta Recognize cause Ms Bria says Condi ain’t  getting down like that.. butterahhhh,, Sorry Bria Girl, she did it – oh yeahh – She Did it.

first y’all read Bria’s piece and then continue the journey with our retort below her story. of course it’s got the tasty condiliciousness that you can expect from the BadGals.

NOOOOOO, NOT Condi!! Condi does not get down like that!!

Oh hell nawwww (yeah I said it!!), I’m tripping! I knew that Cheney’s heart was dark but I tell you if what I’m hearing and reading is true, then dang Condoleezza Rice is a gangster 4 real!! She seems so quiet (i know what they say about quiet people lol) and unassuming, but the news is saying she’s ok’d the CIA to use waterboarding as a way to torture folks during interrogations! Ohhhh, it’s like that Condi?? I guess they’ve never heard of a friggin paper shredder. According to documents, on July 17th of ‘02, Condi gave the CIA permission to ‘ proceed with “alternative interrogation methods,” including waterboarding, when questioning suspected al Qaeda leader Abu.

According to CNN “the same techniques also were used in the interrogations of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the first person charged in the United States in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.

While Pres. Obama, myself and others believe waterboarding to be a barbaric practice, Dick ‘Black Heart’ Cheney believes the practice is successful. As a matter of fact, Cheney said pouring water down the face and up the nostrils and making Khalid Sheikh Mohammed believe he was drowning was successful because Mohammed provided a ‘wealth of information.’ I assume one of the questions THEY DIDN’T ASK…was where in the hell was Osama Bin Laden?!
