Condi for President?

Well, the Secretary of State seems to have at least one non-fan. Here is Riverbend on Condi from Bagdad:
She stood in the crowded room as her drove of minions stood around her... A huddling mass trying to draw closer to her aura of evil. The lights flashed against her fangs as her cruel lips curled into a grimace. It was meant to be a smile but it wouldn't reach her cold, lifeless eyes. It was a leer- the leer of the undead before a feeding...

The above was not a scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer- it was just Condi Rice in Iraq a day ago. At home, we fondly refer to her as The Vampire. She's such a contrast to Bush- he simply looks stupid. She, on the other hand, looks utterly evil.
She also talks about the bombs, theories about the culprits, and especially about the outrages at GITMO and Abu Graib. A summation:
By doing such things, this war is taken to another level- it is no longer a war against terror or terrorists- it is, quite simply, a war against Islam and even secular Muslims are being forced to take sides.
I greatly fear she may be right. The way this kind of war is lost is by converting every undecided bystander into an enemy.
