Rice Was ‘Uninterested In Advising The President’ Before 9/11, Wanted To Be His ‘Closest Confidante’
New York Times reporter Philip Shenon will release his book The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation, revealing “failure at the highest levels of the United States government.”
Shenon singles out Condoleezza Rice as inept, more interested in being President Bush’s buddy than securing the nation. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas writes a preview of the book:
Shenon singles out Condoleezza Rice as inept, more interested in being President Bush’s buddy than securing the nation. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas writes a preview of the book:
The official ineptitude uncovered by the commission is shocking. Dubbed “Kinda-Lies-a-Lot” by the Jersey Girls, Ms. Rice comes across as almost clueless about the terrorist threat. “Whatever her job title, Rice seemed uninterested in actually advising the president,” Mr. Shenon writes. “Instead, she wanted to be his closest confidante — specifically on foreign policy — and to simply translate his words into action.”

Abracadabra! Bush Makes Privacy Board Vanish The Bush administration has failed to nominate any candidates to a newly empowered privacy and civil-liberties commission.

Proposed Military Spending Is Highest Since WWII As Congress and the public focus on more than $600 billion already approved in supplemental budgets to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for counterterrorism operations, the Bush administration has with little notice approached a landmark in military spending. The Pentagon on Monday will unveil its proposed 2009 budget of $515.4 billion.

The UK is training the terrorist. Gates is looking for his last big pay day for doing what he's told by the White House. Gates is as much a War Criminal as Bush/Cheney. General Petraeus is a complete disgrace to the uniform and to our soldiers.
I read about the UK terrorist trainging scheme. Sounds a bit fishy to me. Not one single country can trust another these days. Everyone is going behind the others' backs. Russia, China and Syria have a better alliance than the rest of the so-called "free world".
re: "Bush Makes Privacy Board Vanish"
This is unacceptable. And what does Congress do... absolutely nothing. Hello people - don't you think it's time to oust the bulk of them? What a cryin' shame.
