    • Rice stands by claims of Al-Qaeda-Saddam links

      Posted by Jeff from Yahoo News!

      Wow - is it unfair to say she's a lapdog? "There were ties between Iraq and Al-Qaeda," she said on Fox News Sunday. Rice specifically linked Al-Qaeda's presumed leader in Iraq at the time, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to the effort to develop chemical arms. "We know that Zarqawi was running a poison network in Iraq," she said, reaffirming statements made by President George W. Bush and herself prior to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq linking Baghdad with Osama bin Laden's group. Rice stood by the claim Sunday despite a February 2002 report from the Defense Department's intelligence arm which was just released by a Senate Committee and stated that Iraq was "unlikely to have provided Bin Laden any useful (chemical or biological) knowledge or assistance."

      Blumenthal: Bush's top female enabler

      Posted by Billbar from Salon

      The weirdness of Condi, focusing on her relationship with the Preznit. Plus this gem: But the more delirious the rhetoric, the more hollow the policy. "There is no plan for Iraq," a senior national security official with the highest intelligence clearance and access to the relevant memos told me. "There is no plan. No plan."

    • Kaplan: Does Bush understand his own foreign policy?

      Posted by Billbar from Slate

      Bush's remarks yesterday, from his vacation ranch in Crawford, Texas, with Rice at his side, raise once more the question of whether he believes the things he says—whether he's really so clueless about the world that his actions so deeply affect. The transcript contains so many mind-boggling statements that it's hard to know where to begin.

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

    Rice says Clinton did not leave plans to fight al Qaeda

    what’s more, there is paper proof contrary to all of her claims. These people have no business running a country. They should be in prison.

    She’s lying. Richard Clarke confirms she’s lying.
