Comments: White House Backpedals Into New Holes Over Clarke

"No reports of the use of airplanes as weapons were briefed or presented to Dr. Rice prior to May 2002," said her spokesman Sean McCormack.

I guess Condi didn't get briefed on the danger Bush was in when he attended the WTO in Genoa in July 2001? Geeze, what a crappy liar she is.

From the LA Times, Sept 27, 2001:
U.S. and Italian officials were warned in July that Islamic terrorists might attempt to kill President Bush and other leaders by crashing an airliner into the Genoa summit of industrialized nations, officials said Wednesday.

She sure must be out of the loop.

was Condi out of the loop?

I don't think there was a loop when it came to dealing with al Qaedqa at least pre 9-11. Bushco really didn't have a plan or a group dealing with this very issue on a daily basis, therefore there was no loop. That's the problem.

I wouldn't let Condi Rice advise me on what's for lunch after all this, much less National Security.

Obviously, she was out of the loop; even the incompetent Bushies know that Condi is even more incompetent than they are. Besides how would she find time to exercise with Bush & pound out show tunes on her piano if she was fully briefed on stuff?

As I noted on a thread below, if you can't tell where Condoleeza Rice's lies end and her incompetence begins, she really ought to resign. Now.
