Does anyone not remember her testimony before the 9/11 Commission? She appeared without taking an oath on the Bible, wearing a pair of shoes that would have made Imelda Markos puke.
In that timid, wavering voice, Rice denied military history when she said, "No one could have known that airplanes were going to be used as human guided missiles."
Ms. Rice owes her freedom to the 4,900 men killed by Kamikaze pilots in 1945. Another 4,800 men were wounded by these 'human guided missiles.'
Ms. Rice has over used her act as the woman being unfairly attacked. Her quavering voice, her never smiling eyes, and her defensive hand gestures betray her intent to lie.
Sunday, Ms. Rice again made an appeal on national TV. In so many words she said, "Don't trust the former head of the CIA. He lies." She bases that on many things but mostly on 'slam dunk.'
“When George said ‘slam dunk,’ ” Ms. Rice said, “everybody understood that he believed that the intelligence was strong.
“We all believed the intelligence was strong.” (From the NYT)
Thank you, Secretary Rice for clarifying on TV what you will not say under Oath, "It's not my fault. I did my job. I was duped and fooled by other people who were smarter than me."
Of course you were, Ms. Rice. Of course you were.

General Wesley Clark on NBC
CLARK: "There was a concerted effort during the fall of 2001, starting immediately after 9/11, to pin 9/11 and the terrorism problem on Saddam Hussein."
RUSSERT: "By who? Who did that?"
CLARK: "Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, 'You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.' I said, 'But--I'm willing to say it, but what's your evidence?' And I never got any evidence."
Clark's assertion corroborates a little-noted CBS Evening News story that aired on September 4, 2002. As correspondent David Martin reported: "Barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, the secretary of defense was telling his aides to start thinking about striking Iraq, even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks." According to CBS, a Pentagon aide's notes from that day quote Rumsfeld asking for the "best info fast" to "judge whether good enough to hit SH at the same time, not only UBL." (The initials SH and UBL stand for Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.) The notes then quote Rumsfeld as demanding, ominously, that the administration's response "go massive...sweep it all up, things related and not."
