Europe Remembers Rice's 'Punish France' Quip
2004-11-17
That's fine. We remember the "missed a good chance to shut up" quip. And the "shitty little country" quip.
In Europe, it's hard for some to think of Condoleezza Rice — Colin Powell's expected replacement as U.S. secretary of state — without recalling the low points in trans-Atlantic relations that grew out of the war in Iraq. After all, it was Rice who raised eyebrows last year with her Machiavellian suggestions for how Washington should treat European opponents of the U.S.-led invasion. "Punish France, ignore Germany and forgive Russia," Rice was widely quoted as telling associates in the spring of 2003.
Sounds good to me. And don't forget to ignore Spain. Oh, and trade Belchium in on a dog and shoot the dog.
