Tightening the Newspaper Between my Legs...
Rice is testifying this week before the politicized "gotcha" commision. It is going to blow up in someone's face this week. Either Rice comes out swinging or, again, the Bush administration wimps out. I hope she does the first.
She is going to make a 20 minute opening statement and hopefully she can convince the American public that the war in Iraq was truely the next step in the war on terror and not a distraction for the wealth grab of Bush. I have said a few times: If Bush is lying, he is an evil man. Did Bush go into Iraq just to get the oil? If we did then why is gas so damn high?
I would like to point our what Condoleeza Rice said in October 2004. This was before the election and also a year before the 911 incident.
RICE: Osama bin Laden, do two things. The first is you really have to get the intelligence agencies better organized to deal with the terrorist threat to the United States itself. One of the problems that we have is a kind of split responsibility, of course, between the CIA in foreign intelligence and the FBI in domestic intelligence. There needs to be better cooperation because we don't want to wake up one day and find out that Osama bin Laden has been successful on our own territory
Umm... What else does she need say or testify about. She has already testified for about 19 hours and they are going to make her do more, so she can be publicized and politicized.
It is amazing that she could see this. Which is funny becuase Dick Clark said that when he briefed her that he got the impression that she didn't know anything about Al Qeada. He can take his bandstand of a apology and shove it; I think that Rice is brilliant.
PERIOD
