Comments on: State Dept. Confirms Rice CIA Briefing

Spokesman Says She Got CIA Briefing in July 2001 But Information Was 'Not New'

[grazinggoat]

Alzheimer early signs. We want her incompetency out. Will her bosses (G.Walking-LiarBush, DickkeyCheney and Rumsfled) pay for the people who've been victim of the WTC tragedy? Denial, denials, and by way of deception... Untill sky falls on their head. Bleak future for this gang.

Time will tell how deep they were involved into fomenting this whole episode of terror and precausiouly minimizing risks of him (president) and his gang being hit. Time will tell how deep they were responsible of the souls lost during the horrendous attack by the terrorist piloted planes. They needed, eagerly, a justification to go after Saddam, and finish the job the Holy father had not finished.

How is it that everyone involved in the meeting with Rice can remember? If the FBI told me terrorist were going to bomb my house,I think I would remember that. Maybe she was too busy getting ready to shop to pay any attention to alQaeda and Osama,all she was, was an inept National Security Advisor at best.The public will send her a message on Noverber 7th. It will be one she will never forget! That will be the day when the whole world will rejoice.Let the hearings begin.Impeachment is so close,I can almost taste it! With a new Congress,there will be a Going Out of Busisness sign on the White House Lawn.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has no more credibility now than when she was National Security Advisor in 2001. Then in August 2001 she could not find actionable intelligence in a National Security Briefing titled %u201CBin Laden Planning to Attack inside United States Using Passenger Aircraft%u201D. She has once again shown why she has her current job as she is loyal to President Bush and his administration no matter how messed up he is, nor how many lies he tells, or how many Americans Die because of their failed policies, she supports him. But Condoleezza Rice has long ago learned the art of dodging an honest question. She just uses the standard fall back phrase %u201CI do not recall%u201D%u2026since ignorance and a bad memory cannot be prosecuted she and the rest of this administration have used this phrase as their main defense against questions of their ineptitude and deception. Remember a vote for Republicans is a vote for %u201CStay the Course%u201D and the deaths of more Americans. Oh yea those pushing this war the most have never served in the military and some have never even registered for the draft.

This is unbelievable. I cannot believe how many things are coming to light regarding GOP failures (Foley, Rice, Iraq and the federal response to hurricane Katrina to mention a few...I need more than 1500 characters to mention them all!) and they still have a chance to retain their majorities in congress! If the Democrats cannot win both houses given their advantage of being the only feasible alternative to the GOP, then its high time for an Independent Party.

Based on this information it appears that the GOP's war on terror is about as effective as the response to hurricane Katrina. Can anyone tell me what the admitted 500 billion for the war on terror was spent on and what type of return on investment we as taxpayers can expect?

Its time for a change in leadership. The credibility of our nation as leader of the free world is at stake!

Amen, Sergeant. Someone with memory lapses about CIA briefings of imminent attack just two or three months before they happen, now saying she doesn't remember? Not exactly Presidential caliber in my opinion either.

[exusmcsgt]

pakaal-

Agreed. And even worse, some mention this idiot as a candidate for president! One moron per generation should be more than enough and we've already met that quota.

[xfredmenzies]

Yeah, so she lied. She lies on every Sunday morning talkshow every stinking week. But she would never lie under oath, because Bush will never her let her speak under oath. See how clever that is?

[pakaal]

I'm getting dizzy. She doesn't recall any meeting, then we get confirmation from the White House records that it happened. Then she doesn't recall any urgency placed on the information given in the meeting she doesn't remember.

Tenet now says that's not how it happened; that actually he was sure that Rice understood the severity of the threat:

So I assume her next version will be that there was some urgency in the threat assessment, but not as much urgency in the meeting she doesn't remember as Tenet is saying there was? I mean, how convoluted can her excuses possibly get?

And this person is Secretary of State?!

Why shouldn't Condi lie to cover up her gross incompetence? Her boss did it for six years and won an eleciton in '04. If he can fool the voters of this nation with his shallow cover-ups, then why can't members of his administration do the exact same thing?

[clestes-2009]

She is no better fitted for her job that Rummy is his. They are both political friend of gw and giving them this high profile jobs is in payment for services rendered. Neither of them have the qualifications needed and they have both made a hash out of their respective jobs.

The only problem is: people are paying for their screwups in blood.
