Operation Boobjob?
Condi gives us a new term to replace escalation and surge (h/t BarbinMD at DKos):
Hagel: I think this speech, given last night by this President, represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out.
Rice: I think that I don't see it and the President doesn't see it as an escalation. What he sees...
Hagel: Putting 22,000 new troops, more troops in, is not an escalation? Would you call it a decrease? And billions of dollars more?
Rice: I would call it, Senator, an augmentation that allows the
Iraqis to deal with this very serious problem that they have in Baghdad.

Also one of my favorite quotes from the hearing:
"Surely the United States is not the one being threatening," she said. "We are not the ones being meddlesome and troublesome in Iraq."
I think I'd ask the Iraqis if they think we might be a touch meddlesome.
And really, did we expect Iran to sit back and do nothing when the nation next door got invaded by a country who regularly makes veiled threats against them? Who the fuck are these morons?
yeah anon, although i'm no fan of condi i thought the attacks on her on the basis of having no kids were fucking bush league.
