Great post at Liberal Oasis. While liar Condi Rice threatened Iran yesterday she stood proudly next to Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and called him a "good friend." As L.O. notes, the leader of Equatorial Guinea has made the list of the world's worst dictators four years in a row. From the post:
Rice’s “good friend” Mr. Obiang is primarily known for living the high life off his country’s relatively newfound oil revenues, while his people live on less than $1 a day without clean water...
... Gee, why does Obiang get to be Condi’s “good friend” and the Iran mullahs get threatened with tactical nuclear weapons?
Cause we already have our hands on Equatorial Guinea’s oil, silly.
Rice threatening of Iran while coddling Obiang puts Bush’s democracy hypocrisy in sharp focus.
Oil, eh ...ya think? I don't know. That kind of sounds like 'wild speculation.'

Those who believe that the Bush crime family is interested in the least in the promotion of democracy and freedom in countries where they don't have a strategic or economic interest are as clueless as senor Presidente. Of course, if they were, neither Darfur nor Iraq would be the absolute disaster they currently are.
And yes, sitting at the number one slot as the world's worst dictator for the second straight year is Sudan's Omar al-Bashir. From the Parade Magazine:
Since February 2003, Bashir’s campaign of ethnic and religious persecution has killed at least 180,000 civilians in Darfur in western Sudan and driven 2 million people from their homes.
But you see, Iran may have the capacity to build a nuclear weapon in several years. And if they were ever to launch this weapon they would be completely annihilated by Israel and the United States. So naturally Rice comes out with this:
"When the Security Council reconvenes [later this month], I think it will be time for action," Rice said. "We can't let this continue."
Or what? C'mon let's hear it. Lay it out there so we can see how ignorant you really are. Is there anything in this country's history that would indicate that the nation as a whole is suicidal? Let me answer that. No!
How insanely incompetent, corrupt and mendacious do these imbeciles have to be before they are thrown on the scrap heap of history forever? If they are allowed to go nuclear on Iran, Allah help us all.
(There will be much much more to say on this.)
