Well at least the media in Australia are showing the PROOF that CONDI LIED

Maybe some day the Dear US Steno-Media will do likewise?

US al-Qaeda warning revealed

EIGHT months before the September 11 attacks the White House's then counterterrorism adviser urged then national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to hold a high-level meeting on the al-Qaeda network, according to a memo made public today.

"We urgently need such a principals-level review on the al-Qaeda network," then White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke wrote in the January 25, 2001 memo.

Mr Clarke, who left the White House in 2003, made headlines in the heat of the US presidential campaign last year when he accused the Bush White House of having ignored al-Qaeda's threats before September 11.

Mr Clarke testified before inquiry panels and in a book that Rice, his boss at the time, had been warned of the threat. Rice is now US Secretary of State.

However, Ms Rice wrote in a March 22, 2004 column in The Washington Post that "No al-Qaeda threat was turned over to the new administration".

Richard Clark's declassified memo; PROOF that Condi Lies is just another rightwingnut bushCabal liar.

1. Bush* administration rewards such lies. She's been promoted

Fuck the people. This is the familiar theme from the neo-cons.

[Say_What]

2. Ever notice how * eyeballs Condi_LIES_ALOT whenever they're near

and she might as well blow him on CNN the way she grovels at his feet. Keeerist, it would be a real hummer if the two of them were going at it off camera. LOL

:wow:

3. Did Bush ignore Clarke on purpose?

The word from both the journalists and even the Republican shills on the white house payroll say the same thing:

Richard Clarke was running around the White House as if his "hair was on fire" claiming to anyone who would listen that terrorism generally and Al Qaeda in particular were the number one threat to the US.

Did Bush ignore Clarke on purpose, or is GW just incompetent?

Was the intelligence failure in the CIA or in the oval office?

Was Condi too preoccupied with Russia (She has spent a lot of time studying Russia in order to make believe she is a foreign policy expert) or was she told by the commander-in-chief (Cheney, Rumsfeld or Rove?) to ignore terrorism in order to allow an attack on the US?

I do not believe that Bush personally allowed the attack on the WTC, but it seems that the Neocons (supported by Republican voters) wanted an attack on US soil in order to justify their pre-planned war on Iraq. Bush was not surprised when the first plane hit, but I bet he was a little upset that it ruined his story time. At least he found out what happened to "My pet goat".

When will someone finally ask Condi why she never thought they would fly planes in the WTC? Was it because it was not covered in her class on Stalinism.

I don't blame the Neocons anymore. The blame falls on the morons who voted for this regime. Voters have a responsibility to filter their news through an active mind. Watching Fox news and the Bush propagandists and then voting based on your stupidity is treason of the cowardly level.

4. Hi Plato_Archanes!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

6. Bush Hates Clinton......

I think that Bush wanted nothing to do with anything Clinton had been working on. If you haven't already, you should read Richard Clark's book. Clark wasn't allowed to talk directly to the president, it all had to go through Condi. Clinton briefed Bush on Al Quada during the transition, I think Bush ignored it because Clinton emphasized it, Bush absolutely hates Clinton.

9. I think you are right

I agree with you, and it is another example of how immature and incompetent Bush is. However, I think concentrating on the fact that Bush purposely ignored anything Clinton told him does not seem to have an effect on the Bushophiles. They hear Clinton, and start fuming over cigars and the such.

I would rather point out that Bush seems to have purposely ignored terrorism in order to allow an attack on the U.S mainland. I think the morons who think Bush is really smart will allow this past their Republican filters, and think maybe Bush was real smart to allow a terrorist attack and galvanize the party and the voters. Then let the reality of that sink in: Bush allowed 9/11 to happen on purpose.

Once they start looking at the facts, that becomes a very real possibility.

5. Talk about IMPUNING integrity...They tried to destroy Clarke's rep!

I'm glad Clarke has been vindicated 100%! We need to demand some accountability! How in the hell can we let this slide? Any ideas?

7. WH press is holding McClellan's feet to the fire

Paraphrase - "I have no reason to believe there has been no change in our position".

Watch the WH website for a transcript to get the exact wording.

8. The world community knows they cannot trust her.

She will be totally ineffective as a diplomat.

Her elevation to Secretary of State was wrongful, unjustified, and will result in further damage to the United States.
