Condi Generates New Word In Hebrew!!!

Rice-Based Word for Meeting without Results: LeCondel


(IsraelNN.com) If anybody says he wants "leCondel" he means he wants to start meeting without achieving any results, according to New York Times by journalist Steve Erlanger. He reported Israeli government sources have coined the word "meaning, to come and go for meetings that produce few results."

American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has held several meetings with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israel on reaching an agreement on what they can agree to discuss at the planned Annapolis, Maryland conference. Middle East leaders and Secretary Rice have said the Annapolis summit would not be "just another photo opportunity," but Erlanger said expectations are very low for results of the conference, which both American and Israeli leaders now describe as a "meeting."

I don't think anything, anywhere will get better until we have a new president.

If we can maintain the status quo, and prevent things from getting worse before that, I think we've got the best we can hope for in practical terms.

I think the best thing the children of Abraham can do for themselves is let the americans pick up the check after their own secret negotiations..........

I can spin this, but I better not.

I like Rice and wouldn't mind to be trapped on an island with her.

Agreed JD, nothing will improve, and the possiblity of getting worse is immense. How does an October 15th bombing of Iran work for you? After one more big "terrorist attack" to justify the bombs. then he envokes Secret War powers Signing Statements, vesting all power in the Executive. Cancells elections, and establishes the first American dictatorship.



See, things can always get worse.
