Run Condi - run!!

Hopefully, people can console themselves. Yesterday on Meet The Press, Condi said she was not going to run for the Presidency in 2008. Tim Russert was so fawning and gushing, acting just like a little puppy dog, that one thought he was going to drop on all fours and lick the big black boots she proudly wears. It was really embarrassing to watch.

Her decision causes great sadness as it would be so much fun to hear her answer questions during the campaign:

Ms. Rice – why did you lie to the 9/11 Commission when you said “No one could have imagined them taking a plane, slamming it into the Pentagon, into the World Trade Center, using planes as a missile”? Are you saying the 9/11 commission, which documented a dozen intelligence reports (discussing planes as weapons), that were available to you before the Trade Center attack is wrong?

Ms. Rice – why did you say, in referring the Presidents Daily Briefing of Aug 6, 2001, that there was nothing in it about “the threat of attack in the US” when the title of the briefing was “Bin Laden determined to attack in the US”?

Ms. Rice – why did you hype the nuclear threat of Saddam Hussein as a prime reason to invade Iraq when you knew he possessed no such threat?

Ms. Rice – why do you continue to link Iraq with al Qaeda when it is well proven that no such linkage ever existed?

Ms. Rice – how do you reconcile the persistent rumors of your sexuality with being a member of a very conservative, intolerant, and apparently anti-gay administration?

Ms. Rice – when you were interviewed on Meet The Press on Oct 16, 2005 why did you admit “...when we were attacked on September 11, we had a choice to make. We could decide that the proximate cause was al-Qaeda and the people who flew those planes into buildings and, therefore, we would go after al-Qaeda and perhaps after the Taliban and then our work would be done and we would try to defend ourselves. Or we could take a bolder approach, which was to say that we had to go after the root causes of the kind of terrorism that was produced there, and that meant a different kind of Middle East.” This statement proves your previous assertions justifying the war in Iraq were lies. How do you respond to that?

Ms. Rice – do you feel any remorse that the deceitful actions undertaken by you and the administration to mislead and scare the American public regarding Iraq have resulted in death and maiming for tens of thousands?
