2005 Flashback: Condoleezza Rice Calls for Freedom & Democracy in Egypt

[MadMax1945XXX2]

i cant believe you people are falling for this stupid bullshit

[pr310nobama]

This is a much better speech than the one given in 2009 by President Obama in Cairo. In her book Secy Rice said she told Hosni Mubarak to commit to democratic reforms before pepole demanded them. Domocratization in Egypt would have been alot smoother had Mubarak heeded her warning. She says in her book that she could see this year's Arab Spring coming. In the long run although it is jerky now the Arab Spring will produce a free society hopefully.

Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, I think six palentinians, which straight of the university are graduated

[neuman667]

She should be running for President.

[lemmelook5]

Fuck Egypt. No country has ever stepped in to stop our evil conflicts Civil War, Slavery, Womens rights, Blacks civil rights. Besides World Economic reasons fuck 'em. Lets focus on self. You can't help others if you can't help yourself. democracy isn't for everone, stop tring to big brother the world.

[redneckjesus3]

She never thought revolution in Egypt would happen, not while they were on the U.S. payroll.

If she were in office now, she'd be calling for an intervention in Libya. Like we need another war.

Condi is Brilliant and prescient! She was ahead of her time - as this video shows!

Excuse me....Colin Powell was Secretary of State under the Bush Administration from January 20, 2001 to January 26, 2005. I'm a bit older than most of you, and did keep close track of Presidents and their cabinets. Condolezza Rice succeeded Colin Powell in 2005. Just because you found it on Google doesn't mean you got the correct information. Check out Wikipedia instead. I also have a good memory for Bush Administration! I'm not senile yet.

Remember Neda!

"There are those who say that Democracy leads to chaos or conflict or terror.

In fact - the opposite is true. Freedom and Democracy are the only ideas powerful enough to overcome hatred and division and violence.

For people of diverse races and religions, the inclusive nature of Democracy can lift the fear of difference that some believe is a license to kill."

The plainly-spoken truth, spoken by a true Lover of Freedom, with a message that ALL of the Mainstream Media failed to internalize.

Let the people of Egypt elect Condoleezza Rice as their new President/Queen.

[grtflmark]

@spankherbooty Condi Rice is not a citizen of Egypt. She is an American.

[spankherbooty]

@grtflmark I was being facetious, (thus the Queen part). In all seriousness though, and as someone who's followed her career since President Bush first made her his National Security Advisor, I think she'd make a great leader of any country.

[MaDmOnkyKungFu]

"the Democratic system cannot function if certain groups have one foot in the realm of politics and one foot in the camp of terror". She really nails it.

[grtflmark]

@MaDmOnkyKungFu Absolutely!

[xbobzerox]

It's funny how people are trying to credit Condie for what's going on 5 years and 7 months after this speech when it was Twitter and Facebook that had a much larger role. It's really too bad she didn't read the brief about terrorists trying to attack the U.S. when she first got into office. Maybe 9/11 could have been avoided.

[caroln1858]

@xbobzerox Condi Rice wasn't Secretary of State when 9/11 Hit. She was put into that position for George W. Bush's Second Term. Also, Facebook and Twitter speak to foreign dignitaries? Think not. We are looking at an uprising which could have been prevented from the Powers that Be, who are Barack Obama and his administration, which has failed miserably in this regard, but I believe, it wasn't accidental that this outbreak came about during the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama.

@caroln1858

"On December 17, 2000, Rice was named as National Security Advisor and stepped down from her position at Stanford. She was the first woman to occupy the post. Rice earned the nickname of "Warrior Princess," reflecting strong nerve and delicate manners."

Since 9/11 happened in 2001, Condi Rice was Secretary of State. Google is your friend.

[RojoPirata]

Sec. Rice is a remarkable lady!

[WoodyPfister]

This is such a better speech than Pres Obama gave in Cairo. What a contrast to that vacuous pig Hillary.

[seattlegrrlie]

I miss her.

@suzieq0452

What's a "Zionist"?

[Daemonocracy]

So what is going on in Egypt right now, is it the American Revolution or the French Revolution? Is this battle for democracy lead by noble men or charlatans? What does the Muslim Brotherhood stand to gain?

[jhtrico1850]

@Daemonocracy the what?

[grtflmark]

Beautiful and relevant speech!  The quote about "Two Wings Of A Bird" is also a Bahai quote.
