Condoleezza Rice at New Ruskin College

Lecture Notes 9-24-12

To:  Condoleezza Rice

Subject:  Strongmen

 

Condoleezza Rice:  We didn’t make the mistake of installing a strongman in Iraq.  We didn’t make that mistake.

Don Imus:  Who said that?  Who said we should install a strongman?  What is she talking about?

Note:  The Prince of Jordan recommended that the US install a strongman.

Note:  I also was thinking of General Douglas MacArthur the American Shogun of Japan when I recommended to President George W. Bush a “strongman.”  General Douglas MacArthur was an American strongman, who also wrote the Japanese Constitution, which is still in use.  If you are not going to do any preliminary steps before going into the country then you need someone to take charge, take command.  Instead we had a series of boards selected at random.  By my count we went through three separate “governing boards.”  This did not instill confidence into the ranks of the New Iraqi Army.  Next time Condoleezza contact me directly we don’t need Imus In The Morning.

 PS  And I think Iran’s nuclear program should be destroyed and the regime must be over thrown.
