One is dumbstruck when comparing Rice and Powell. As Galloway says, “What a contrast there was between those shafts of light and the myopia displayed” by our Secretary of State. “So rose-tinted were her glasses that she had even spotted the first elections in Saudi Arabia” — and she patterned said alleged elections in Iraq as even more democratic than the Saudi Elections. Galloway could not resist twisting the knife: “As one who follows events in the Arab world closely, I must tell the house that I missed the first elections in Saudi Arabia, probably the un-freest, most undemocratic and most anti-democratic country on earth.”
Yet Rice outdoes herself, even with those points missed.
