Condoleezza Rice, U.S. war criminal
U.S. troops in Fallujah, Iraq, November 2004.
Condoleezza Rice—a prominent force responsible for the war crime of invading Iraq in 2003, with all the death, destruction and mayhem that unleashed—has now shot off her mouth calling for Trump to “take care” of Iran for good. Talk about bloodthirsty—completely unrepentant bloodthirstiness! (In perversion on top of perversion, as part of “justification” for this, she claims that Iranian weaponry was actually responsible for a majority of U.S. deaths in Iraq—deaths which, by the way, would never have occurred if the Bush regime, in which she was a prominent operative, had not committed the international war crime of invading Iraq.) And the trajectory of her “fortunes,” since that war in Iraq, is yet another illustration of how this system deals with those who commit massive crimes on its behalf: Far from being ostracized—let alone criminalized—for her role regarding the invasion of Iraq (and all the carnage that has flowed from that), she has continued to occupy a prominent place and has held prestigious positions, including at Stanford University's Hoover Institute (and even in sports, as one of the members of the committee selecting teams for the college football playoffs). Legitimizing, indeed rewarding, war criminals. Yet more evidence—as if more were needed—of the thoroughly, monstrously criminal, and outmoded, nature of this system.
Condoleezza Rice—one of Bush’s very top advisers and, with him and others, a proud war criminal directly responsible for the deaths of some 150,000 Iraqis1. and indirectly responsible for hundreds of thousands more2—has given her blood-soaked endorsement to Trump’s utterly unprovoked, thoroughly unjust and potentially catastrophic-for-humanity war against Iran.
