Rice's Carbon Footprints

"no other Cabinet member has logged more travel time... than Rice"

So where does her CARBON FOOTPRINT stand as she gallivants across the world wasting time, fuel, and money?

Think they were in her
designer shoes?

And NOTHING can salvage her legacy of incompetence of mass-murder!!!

"Rice rushes to cement legacy; Travels globe in race against time" by Matthew Lee, Associated Press | July 27, 2008

AUCKLAND, New Zealand - In a global kick to the tape, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is grasping for diplomatic victories before the Bush administration's exit from the world stage in January.

With less than six months to go in office and unfinished business with Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Rice has embarked on a series of trips and is packing in an impressive number of high-level meetings in Washington.

In June and July, Rice circled the planet twice for talks on those issues. In the first three days of the week ahead, she will see top officials from Pakistan, China, Israel, and Italy as well as Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators.

Rice will press Pakistan's prime minister to do more to combat militants along the Afghan border; seek additional support from China on Iran and North Korea; and assess the slow pace of progress in the effort to conclude an Israel-Palestinian deal by year's end.

Administration officials are fond of saying Bush wants to "sprint to the finish."

Perhaps no other Cabinet member has logged more travel time in that endeavor than Rice, who returns from her latest round-the-world jaunt tomorrow and heads immediately into her Washington meetings.

That nine-day excursion was marked by unprecedented but inconclusive overtures to Iran and North Korea - the remaining two members of Bush's "axis of evil" - and began in the Persian Gulf before Singapore for an Asian security forum, then Australia, New Zealand, and American Samoa.

How come the MSM papers hardly reported it?

Sort of exemplifies the legacy, doesn't it?

On her first trip to New Zealand, Rice held talks yesterday with Prime Minister Helen Clark and Foreign Minister Winston Peters. She then traveled to Samoa to meet with other South Pacific leaders

Rice's Pacific travels follow a trip to Europe, where she signed a missile defense treaty in the Czech Republic and visited Georgia in a show of support for a NATO aspirant locked in a tense feud with Russia over separatist areas.

That was preceded by another globe-circling tour that started in Europe with a Palestinian security conference and ended in China after stops in Japan and South Korea that were focused on North Korea and a dispute over US beef imports.

Yeah, she was supposed to go view the earthquake area, and then I never heard of it again!
