Condoleezza Rice is having a very bad week. Not only did she have to place herself in the role of Bush apologist, for failing to act to stem the terrorist threat prior to 9-11, as well as have to respond before the 9-11 Commission to former counterterrorism director Richard A. Clarke’s allegation that he had warned Rice about an “imminent threat” of a catastrophic attack months prior to 9-11, this week former Senator Gary Hart and co-chair of the U.S. Commission on National Security told the Commission that on January 31, 2001, he had handed Bush and Rice a report, from his bi-partisan panel, which warned of a “devastating terrorist attack on America.”
But, according to Hart, the Bush administration never followed up on the commission’s urgent recommendations, even after he repeated them in a private White House meeting with Rice just days before 9/11.
VanRamblings asks: Connie, oh, Connie, where did you go wrong in your just shy of 50 years of life on this planet? In an effort to humanize the embattled Bush administration National Security advisor, reader Daryl Magnuson sends along this set of interesting “facts” about Rice.
Read ’em and weep.
