  Outposts of tyranny - SourceWatch
Six outposts of tyranny around the world were identified by Condoleezza Rice, President George W. Bush's newly confirmed Secretary of State, hinting "at the direction of future US foreign policy," according to the UK's BBC, January 19, 2005.
Condoleezza Rice's use of the phrase outposts of tyranny during her confirmation hearing is not original.

 Outposts of tyranny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outposts of tyranny was a term used by United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a 2005 written submission to the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to describe certain countries where, in her opinion, the government is oppressive and shows contempt for democracy and human rights.
Rice did not say whether there was special criteria to be considered an "outpost of tyranny", though she identified Belarus, Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Zimbabwe as examples.
There is an overlap with the given examples of "outposts of tyranny" and the State Dept. list of state sponsors of terrorism, which also includes Cuba, Iran, and North Korea but in which Syria and Sudan appear rather than Myanmar, Belarus, and Zimbabwe.

 War On Tyranny?
Washington of course today is shorthand for the policy domination by a private group of military and energy conglomerates, from Halliburton to McDonnell Douglas, from Bechtel to ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco, not unlike that foreseen in Eisenhower’s 1961 speech warning of excessive control of government by a military-industrial complex.
Tyranny has to do with the internal affairs of a nation: it has to do with how a leader and a people interact, not with its foreign policy.

THE onslaught suffered by Zimbabwe is intensifying with the United States this week naming the country among six "outposts of tyranny" in a clear sign that the White House would maintain its tough foreign policy stance on the troubled southern African state.

Rice's line-up of "outposts of tyranny" expands on George W Bush's "axis of evil" - Iran, North Korea and Iraq, which the US and its allies has since invaded and is currently battling to democratise.
