She Lies Like A Rug!

I think it takes big balls to shake someone's hand and lie directly to their face. But, I guess after watching Condoleezza Rice during the 9/11 hearings as well as her confirmation hearings, I already knew what she was made of.

"Secretary of State Rice says she discussed the potential sale of F-16 fighter-jets to Pakistan with Indian officials, who have long opposed the plan. She also talked about selling the jets to India.

But Ms. Rice said at news conference Wednesday in New Delhi it is too soon to expect any deals to be signed with either country.

'We are going to continue to have broad discussions about the security needs, about the defense needs of India. I'm quite certain that when I go to Pakistan that I will have discussions about the defense concerns and the defense needs of Pakistan,' said Ms. Rice. 'But there has been no such agreement, and as I've said to you, I don't expect that there are going to be any announcements out of this.'"

The United States has agreed to sell about two dozen sophisticated F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan, a diplomatically sensitive move that rewards Pakistan for its help in fighting the war on terror, but has angered next-door rival India.

President Bush (news - web sites), who is spending holiday time at his Texas ranch, spoke on the phone Friday with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who told Bush of his "great disappointment" over the decision, Sanjaya Baru, the prime minister's spokesman said.

Singh said that sales to Pakistan would endanger security in the region, Baru said. New Delhi is worried that arming Pakistan with the advanced jet fighters would tilt the military balance in South Asia and could adversely affect the ongoing peace dialogue between India and Pakistan.

Lying heffa! I know your mamma raised you better than that!
