We Want Condi! We Want Condi! We Want Condi!

[Solomon]

Make this the longest thread on DU. Let the freepers report on this one.

Let's kick it until she testifies. We're tired of excuses. They don't want her talking because it was HER that was "out of the loop."
Today was a circus with Armitrage. I hear she's gonna be on Hannity tonight. Ain't that a ...

[teach1st]

4. I want Condi

Hey! I don't want her that way. I want her to appear sworn in, in public in front of the 9/11 Commission.

[displacedtexan]

5. Dr. Rice should either put up or...

SHUT UP!

[King_Crimson]

6. What a charade...

having Uncle Fester take her place!

[DODI]

7. What is the constitutional issue?

She said she will not testify publicly because of constitutional principle -- separation of powers -- could someone explain?

[w4rma]

16. If she wanted to testify, she would. Her excuse is doubletalk, imho. (nt)

[Occulus]

8. If we put her head on a pole, would it still bobble?

[fryguy]

9. Leavenworth

For her, Rummy, Wolfowitz and the rest of the League that took us into this unjust war....

[Solomon]

10. Hey Condi. Do you think it's insulting that they won't let you

testify? I mean they even let Uncle Fester joke around.

[K8-EEE]

11. They're AFRAID To Let Condi Talk -- Afraid She'll Crack

And tell the truth!

[Spazito]

12. Even more important, these people want Condi...

the families of the 9/11 victims.

Here is a link to photos of Clarke with the families, very moving!
Please rate them up!

[eleny]

13. the longer she fights it, the worse it gets

might as well go under oath while the lies are fresh in her mind

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

14. I just want to hear the audio

not watch her bobble head nod :spank:

[Liberal_Andy]

15. "We want Condi frog-marched out of the White House"...

with the rest of those lying crooks!

[Don Claybrook]

17. And have you heard her reason for NOT testifying?

On another thread, it's being reported that she told Tom Brokaw that she'd like nothing better than to testify, but that she has to "respect the separation of powers".

Does anyone else see the problem with this?

There is no separation of powers issue. It's a freaking presidential commission, as in, the Executive Branch, as in, the part of government she works for!

If this is the best lie she can come up with, I sure hope the general public starts to see what we've known for almost 4 years now--that they're nothing but LIARS who have SOMETHING TO HIDE.

[SoDesuKa]

52. Executive Branch

The executive branch approved the creation of the 9/11 Commission, but it was established by Congress.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan commission created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002, is chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission is also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.

[Solomon]

18. Notice how they now refer to her as "Doctor Rice"?

She's entitled to even more respect.

[indigo32]

19. It seems members of the commission want Condi too

[Junkdrawer]

20. Whats a matter? Rummy and Wolfie lied under oath. Are you too good?

Afraid you won't remember your lines? Hmmmm....

[The Lone Liberal]

21. Why do we want her, she is only going to lie.

and no one on that committee will call her hand on the lies. That committee is rigged or it would never have been assembled. Rove has already written the report.

[procopia]

67. Yes, but when she lies

she trembles, and her voice is shaky. She isn't a good liar, and the Bushies don't want her to give them away.

[Lalena]

22. Come on Condi, do it for the 9/11 families. n/t

[Uzybone]

23. Its always good to put a liar under oath.

n/t

[Solomon]

25. My sentiments exactly. Put the lies on the record.

When she breaks down she'll have to say the same thing Clarke said about talking good for the Bush team. Tee hee.

Seriously though. My take on it is this. Condi was told that the chatter was about "traditional" hijackings. That's why she couldn't help what she said right after 9-11 - that no one imagined they would fly the planes into the wtc. The only reason that they didn't imagine it, is that they were told that the plot involved "traditional" hijacking.

It has long been discussed before, the possibility of using those planes as missiles. The only possible reason for stating what she said, was that she was told that the increased "chatter" was about a "traditional" hijacking. If she were to naively let that cat out of the bag, it would really look bad for Bush.

[MI Cherie]

24. Why be afraid ...

... to testify under oath? They all should!

[Torgo4]

26. Brrrr---Maybe Not!

Behind a curtain perhaps?

[Quetzal]

56. Shit

she looks f'n pissed!!!

[flamingpie2500]

27. She won't testify because of her idiotic statement after 9/11

<<Noone could have imagine that the terrorists would use commercial airliners as missiles.<<
I will never forget when she said that-how idiotic it was, and she would have to admit publicly how stupid she is.

[oasis]

28. Condi, what is a "traditional hijacking"? (eom)

[Solomon]

30. A "traditional hijacking" is one where, not many people will die or get

hurt. Especially if it the "hijackers" only use something like boxcutters. I mean, how many people can you kill with boxcutters as american heroes storm the plane and take out the terrorists?

I think another poster hit the nail on the head when the poster speculated that Barbara Olsen was on one of the planes so as to get the inside story of the rescue. Unfortunately, the ole doublecross happened.

I still say, we either have a mole high up in our government whose tipping the "enemy", or somebody from the inside, pulled a doublecross.

[oasis]

32. I believe the Bushistas were willing to permit a small scale hijacking

in order to launch their PNAC agenda. Check the Bush administration language in the commission testimony "we wanted to do more than simply roll back Al Queda".

[Junkdrawer]

34. Yep. Said so yesterday...

So now you have a bunch of would-be-minor-league-Machiavelli's having to play extreme hardball because they're now responsible for thousands and thousands of deaths.

[Jawja]

29. KICK

No more Big Media appearances for Dr. Rice until she testifies under oath to the committee and to the public.

[Berserker]

33. That pic of dr (gag) rice has

to be the most evil look I have ever seen. You can see the hatred and contempt in her eyes.

[Viking12]

31. I want to hear, "Under penalty of perjury, I swear to tell the truth.." n/

[FauxNewsBlues]

35. Free Condi Rice!

Chickensh*t Chimp bump.

[0rion]

36. She's chicken-s#!t

i doubt she'll ever fess up.

[wicket]

37. KICK!!!!!

[Jacobin]

38. AFLAC

[Amaya]

39. Condi Sleeza

needs to have her lying arrogant repugnant ass in prison for LIFE! :grr: :mad:

[Lefty48197]

40. When we get her under oath, let's ask her if she's ever had sex

and she better not lie...

[arcos]

48. yes, she's had sex with Wolfowitz...

there were rumors they were dating :P

[AgadorSparticus]

41. Condi better testify!!!!!

AND THEN I want to see her in bright orange! She is not smart enough to keep all the lies straight. She will perjure and then serve her due. IT's about FRIGGIN TIME!!

[RapidCreek]

42. don't fall for the friggin scam!!!

What's the matter with you people? ....Well we think it's a shame "Dr. Rice" won't be testifying...and it's really unfortunate...becuase her private testimony was powerful and eloquent......For Christs sake the media whores and "non-partisan" Rethuglicans have been pumping this grift for a week. Don't you wonder why? Ask yourself....Do you actually believe the slimy bitch won't "testify"? I'd just about bet my testicles that Rove is rubbing his little paws together as I write....his little whiskers twitching over a humorless smirk.

Just you wait. We'll be hearing soon that the Bush administration, in an effort to put to rest the any doubts that may still exist..."in this time of change"....has graciously decided to break with precedent and put forward "Dr. Rices" testimony. At which point she will get up and recite the lies she and Karl have been polishing to a blinding gleam for the past month. Pull your heads out....the "commission" was put together by the very people it is investigating. If you believe for a second that "Dr. Rices" testimony won't be used as a velveteen hammer to squash the anger of the victims families...you are fools. Mark my words...it's gonna happen.

Why insist the silly bitch testify? She already has....in the media....and she quite obviously told a bunch of fucking lies. We should insist that she NOT testify...as the commission was designed to air the truth....NOT misdirection....NOT rationalization...and most particularly NOT lies. We should be pointing out that she is ignorant, ill equipped for her job and not the least bit interested in pursuing the greater good if that pursuit makes clear her short comings. We should be saying, in short, that we would prefer she not testify as her lies have already clouded the issue enough. Let's constrain her hydrocephalic chipmunk babble to cable "news" shows. She is IRRELAVENT....as the loss of 3000 lives makes quite clear....She was irrelevant before 9/11, during 9/11 and after 9/11. Why give her relevancy now. We should agree with her handlers...that yes indeed, she IS irrelevant and as such should have no place in a proceeding which is of course irrelevant itself but has been ingineered to give the impression of gravity. Let's leave the testimony to the experts....the people who are and were, really calling the shots.

[Solomon]

44. I don't care if the commission is a set-up. I don't care if she's

rehearsed her lines. I want her on the record. I want her to answer some questions. Hell, we're paying her. I want to hear what she has to say, since in my opinion, she slipped up big big time with the "we thought they would be traditional hijackings."

Now with all the information that had been out there for years about a hijacked plane being used as a missile, the ONLY possible reason you would "not imagine planes being used as missiles", is if you were told in advance, that the "terrorist attack" would be a "traditional hijacking."

If you knew that a "traditional hijacking" might occur, then why wasn't airport security beefed up? Instead we get all these damn phone calls to people, warning them not to take a flight on the 11th.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven, and for once, I want to see the filth revealed. If it takes pulling every thread you can get your hands on, then I say do it. Having her testify even in front of the hand-picked commission is a thread.

[guitar man]

43. WTF was she doing?

That needs to be answered.WTF was she doing that was so damned important that she couldn't deal directly with Clarke?

“I dealt directly with the national security advisers in the Clinton administration,” he said, while in the Bush administration, “I was told would be best done with the deputy national security adviser. So I spent less time talking about the problems of terrorism with the national security adviser in this administration.”

<source> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4568982/

Was she:

A: "Too good "to deal with him?

B: Fucking off all the time?

C: Had no clue how to do the job?

D: Ordered to sit on her hands and do nothing while the BFEE caried out its plans?

E: Other?


"Out of the loop" is right. It seems she was on another fucking planet somewhere. :mad:

[RapidCreek]

53. I hate to sound racist...

but I'll go for answer C with a twist....she's a token of the worst sort. She was hired with the intent of demonstrating that "smart" blacks are Republicans....with the added bones of her stupidity and willingness to lie at great length. She is nothing more than a body with black skin...filling an office which in reality is functionally occupied by the triumpherat of Wolfowitz, Cheney and Andrew Card...much the same as the office of Secratary of State. Aunt and Uncle Tom....made of straw, keeping the crows scared.

RC

[Solomon]

54. Not racist at all. She's window dressing. Always has been.

She was never in charge of National Security, and no doubt, she's now learning that.

[qanda]

45. Time for a few letters to my representatives

Let the phone calls and the letters begin! We Want Condi! We Want Condi! We Want Condi!

[IronLionZion]

46. Kick

We want Condi, and if Clinton can testify then so can W

[Solomon]

47. Con Dee Con Dee Con Dee

Every word you speak only hurts you more when you make a point of talking only if you're not under oath.

[Kazak]

49. BOCK bock bock bock

Bakaaaw.

[wicket]

50. KICK!

[thinkergratis]

51. hmm...

why don't they just subpeona mayor willie brown of san francisco...and question him in regards to just who it was that contacted him the day before 9/11 and told him not to fly.

the answers they'd get would be pretty interesting...

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

55. Kick

[TexasProgresive]

57. Under oath and in public

How can her remarks hold and weight against Clarke who testified under oath and in public and she refuses to do the same. This makes all her remarks suspect. My guess is that she refuses to testify because she fears lying under oath. Maybe the commission should have her questioned by a federal agent and then she can be charged with lying to an agent like they did to Martha. Condi can't tell the truth that's why Bush likes her so much. Birds of a feather and all that.

[Solomon]

58. She and Cheney opened their big stupid mouths too soon.

Both came out and said that Clarke doesn't know what he's talking about because he was not in the loop.

Meanwhile, Clarke gives hours of testimony in which his chief complaint is they wouldn't listen to him, he was shunted off to some deputy committee.

Condi and Cheney are actually corroborating his testimony. The stupid fools.

[Iceburg]

59. Condi wrestling with naked Cheney on Maury Povich Now!

Subpoena Rice now!
PS> Did you know that her private session(s) with the 911 panel are NOT under oath?

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

60. how long can you spin a lie

before the wheels come flying off?

It's obvious just by looking at her pathetically try to defend herself with Brokaw on why she couldn't testify under oath. Obvious marching orders from above. I could see she doesn't even believe her own spin. Every nervous twitch was moving, while she searched for words, but they were without conviction. That made her look even more stupid.

[0007]

61. I agree - junior should demand that Condoleezza Rice

appear before the committee under oath and before a national audience. Not FAUX News or the other two whore networks.

Armitrage is just another clown on junior's ship of fools. Armitrage didn't let junior down during the hearings with his asinine appearance and assumptions.

[DEM FAN]

63. Kick.

:kick:

[catmandu57]

62. She brings to mind Grima Wormtongue

When he is found out by King Theoden, she, like he is trapped and she knows it. I wouldn't be suprised if she meets with an unfortunate accident soon.

[ithacan]

64. She MUST be hiding something

if they are innocent, what are they afraid of?

Their behavior indicates that they are lying, that they are scared shitless of the truth.

[EV1Ltimm]

65. Do the right thing condi.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

66. If they get away with treating the 9-11 families the way they have,

then this country has been horribly shamed.

Hold her accountable and hold all them accountable, especially Cheney and Bush. They are not royalty, they are supposed to answer to us.
