Yeah, she had no fucking earthly idea that some mysterious organization made up of radical Islamists might want to do something evil. Because she's got integrity. She told Senator Boxer that. Herself. Well, that makes her an outright liar on two counts. Wanna try for more?
Nearly half of the Federal Aviation Administration's daily intelligence reports in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks mentioned Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s terrorist network, according to newly released documents.
I'm sure that being the National Security Advisor meant that she was never supposed to read those reports between servicing Preznit Snot Gobbler and lying to Congress at every available opportunity.
WASHINGTON — Clashing sharply with critical Democrats, Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice today defended the Bush administration's decision to topple Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and repeatedly asked senators at her confirmation hearing not to impugn her integrity or suggest she had been untruthful about the reasons for going to war.
Rice, in a sometimes stormy session that opened what may stretch into two days of hearings, offered her sharpest retort to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who suggested that in 2003 Rice contradicted President Bush's comments on illicit Iraqi weapons, then contradicted her own positions in her remarks today.
"Your loyalty to the mission ... overwhelmed your respect for the truth," Boxer said.
"Senator, I'm happy to continue the discussion, but I'd like to do it in such a way that it does not impugn my integrity," Rice said after listening solemnly to Boxer's criticism. "Senator, I have to say I have never, ever lost respect for the truth in the service of anything."
Massive, unmitigated gall in the face of the evidence. It's what the Nazis at Nuremberg tried too. The difference? They had done their dirty work and were trying to talk their way out of their guilt. She's just starting her run of malfeasance.

Speaking of Rice's remark about her integrity (to be found right next to the Iraqi WMDs), O'Reilly was going off on yet another bullshit rant, believing that Boxer said "troops" rather than "truth". Apparently, he's now deaf, dumb, and stupid.

Boxer's earned this veteran/miltary retirees respect
I think Condi's integrity is kept in the same closet as Chicken George's courage.

Condi had her ears boxed by Sen. Barbara. Now Condi is hearing the echoes as more evidence is presented.

I'd like to mention something. Remember during the 9/11 hearings when she said (in response to Clarkes revelations that the white house had, indeed, been warned about precisely what happened) "well we weren't presented with a plan on how to deal with this."
Excuse me, wasn't Clarke an intelligence analyst? Wasn't his job to evaluate information and pass it up the line? Again, and excuse me if I am wrong, wasn't Dr. Rice the FREAKING National Security Advisor? Wasn't HER job to formulate PLANS based on intelligence? Why was she never called on this bogus B.S? And of course, by being called on this, I mean by the MSM or actual government officials. I am sure bloggers commented on this.
Wondering.

Amazing that she was promoted when she should have been bounced out of there!
Who needs security meetings when we must practice Chello to play off-key and have Yo Yo humor an attempt at music?
These elitists libruls got sumptin' agin' good Chello playing. Soooo out of touch with what a woman of the people and her husba- errr the President do in their 'service' of the people.

I am a Democrat veteran too and I say FUCKIN-A! Condi can choke...she owns her words like Bushie owns Iraq.

I still say you have to have integrity for it to be impugned.
"well we weren't presented with a plan on how to deal with this."
Another lie. According to the 9-11 Commission report, Clarke had a plan all ready to go when Bush took office. Bush and Condi told him to go back and re-do it. That's all they did on terrorism before 9-11. He presented the "new" plan in September of 2001.

Now we can see the Fundamental Principle of Beauracracy (that a government official will rise to their level of incompetence) in action.
See you in the draft!
