Poor Condi:
"We did not know at the time--no one knew at the time, in our circles--maybe someone knew down in the bowels of the Agency, but no one in our circles knew that there were doubts and suspicions that this might be a forgery." --Rice on June 8
"This memorandum was received by the Situation Room here in the White House, and it was sent to both Dr. Rice and myself." --Hadley on July 22
I think Condi's going down, this time. (And I *don't* mean on Junior, so stop saying that!)
She got away with claiming she couldn't have known what it was her job to know -- about September 11. It sort of slipped through the cracks that she and even The Dimwit knew. Well, it didn't slip through the cracks, but it became a state secret of national security importance. Which it is, because when it comes out, there will be regime change in the United States, and the new regime will *actually* do things to make us more secure, not just bomb brown-skins and whack former Bush family business partners. So stop saying it isn't a matter of national security that they knew but covered up that they knew!
The question is how many times she can claim to be twice as incompetent as The Dimwit, when everybody knows she's only half again as incompetent.
We think that when Cheney crawls out of his cave, it's a sign of utter desperation. That he appeared in the sunlight yesterday is a good sign for everyone who wants public accountability and democracy.
It was another Emperor-has-no-clothes scenario: Cheney said "How could any responsible leader have ignored the Iraqi threat?" Because Iraq wasn't a threat?
I mean, come on! Even if they could launch -- intentionally misleadingly labeled -- "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in 45 minutes, they couldn't launch them *at* anyone more than a few miles away. And the "Mass Destruction" would have been vastly less than what a single American B-52 is capable of (without using nukes).
Darth Cheney didn't mention his own various false and misleading statements about Iraq's weapons, nor did he mention the caveats in the report from which he read juicy tidbits.
But poor Condi.... How can she be thrown to rabid wolves over sixteen little words when they are completely trivial compared to the other lies, deceptions, and deliberate misleaderships of her boss and his cronies?
