Thursday, February 10, 2005 Condoleezza Rice lied under oath...say it ain't so According to Reuters , a just released memo from January 2001 indicates that Condoleezza Rice was made well aware of the serious threat al-Qaeda posed throughout the Islamic world, yet went unheeded by the then new Bush administration. The memo was written by then terrorism czar Richard Clarke and dated January 25, 2001. Clarke requested a special meeting be held to discuss the grave threat that al-Qaeda posed, but a meeting was not convened until Sept. 4, 2001...one week before the deadly attacks. Hmm...given the fact that on March 22, 2004, then nat'l security advisor Rice wrote in a column in the Washington Post that said: "No al-Qaeda threat was turned over to the new administration"...I guess that would make Dr. Rice a liar now...or a liar then. Either way you look at it, she testified under oath that they never received any prior warning of a threat, so doesn't that mean that the esteemed Dr. Rice committed perjury? Say it ain't so...a liar in the Bush administration...heaven's no. |
