![]() A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying, "As I was telling my husb-" and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, "As I was telling President Bush." Jaws dropped, but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item.(yeah, right!) A National Security Council spokesman laughed and said, "No comment." |

You suspect now that they are an item,,,, LOL,,,, what will you ding dongs
think of next?? And now for more information I am sure you will ignore. A new book just out claims that Chirac told Bush in October, 2002 (when the US got the unanimous UN vote to warn Saddam to allow full inspections, or else) that he would back the US if they went to war in Iraq. 3 months later he "changed his mind". Why? They just signed oil contracts with Saddam. Worth roughly $100 billion over several years. Now all this has been known for a long time. But what the author of the book claims is that the contract *specifically* said that the oil concession to France was contingent on France's support for Saddam in the UN. If true, then this is the smoking gun that France sold the Iraqis out for oil. Not the US, but France. As many in the world have speculated before. Guaranteed you don't care. (After all, it doesn't say "Bush is the anti-Christ" anywhere.) But some do.

Ms. Rice is very smart, and Mr. Bush is very stupid. |

Are you saying that political decisions are sometimes made over oil or other commodities? You are a genius, and my new hero. You are a god among men. Publish quickly before someone steals your theory. |

You really are an idiot, aren't you? When you're an idiot, are you aware of
being one? The French chose not to go to war over oil. We chose to go to war over oil. Same motivation, different method. Do you think we're getting more oil out of Iraq than anyone else?
