Rice to Detail Bush's Pre-9/11 Efforts

Sean McCormack, spokesman for the National Security Council, said Rice planned a 20-minute opening statement to the bipartisan commission Thursday that will seek to show the administration believed terrorism was a priority even before the attacks and worked to protect American interests.

"She will present the facts to the commission and the American people," McCormack said Wednesday.

Rice is not expected to offer an apology to Sept. 11 victims, as Clarke did during his testimony two weeks ago. She will "speak about our sorrow for those who lost loved ones on 9-11" while reminding the public "that those who are responsible for the acts are the terrorists themselves," White House spokesman Dan Bartlett said.

Rice won't seek to specifically counter Clarke's charges that the administration, and Rice in particular, did not consider al-Qaida an urgent priority before the attacks.

"This is the 9-11 commission, not the Dick Clarke commission," McCormack said.

3. Pre-9/11 efforts?

I seriously doubt she's going to detail Bush's plan to line his defense cronies' pockets with contracts for a useless missile defense system.

And isn't that all that their pre-9/11 efforts consisted of?

5. bushe's pre-911 efforts: Vacation, vacation, vacation....

Just like today, Iraq is burning, our soldiers are being killed and small man bush is on vacation. At least he should stay in his bunker discussing a better strategy to help our soldiers. Small man bushe's spokesman, thingie, big foot Karen Huge, this morning when asked, replied that her darling Dwbass had planned this vacation with his family a long time ago. The pompous fuker small man bush.

11. Does He Know The Word Cancel?

Gee, the ordinary American would have to cancel their vacation if a loved one had died, a child was sick, if the boss said they must come to work .

Interesting that Bush had planned his vacation a long time ago and didn't feel the need to cancel or postpone...

So very sad.

6. Sounds a lot like Colin Powell

He started out with about twenty minutes of lies in front of the UN Security Council. Wonder if she'll have a PowerPoint presentation?

8. Egad! LOL!

Thanks for that laugh!

7. I thought the 9-11 attacks were Clinton's fault!

Condi says, "those who are responsible for the acts are the terrorists themselves."

Hannity and Rush are going to go apeshit over Condi's disregard for the truth. It was Clinton's fault.

9. I think the commissioners should be careful

Not to look directly into her eyes . . .

10. rice won't seek to specifically counter clarke's charges..

hell you say. Ben-Veniste better be up there with that book in hand firing fastballs at her enormous head.

12. I just cannot get excited about this

as I intuitively perceive it to be a whitewash.

It might be fun to watch and make fun of this woman who is an obvious puppet of boy George, the other puppet.

At this point, making fun of this head wagging, gap toothed water girl for Bush, is all there is left to do about this sham of a commission

14. a 20 minute opening!!

this chaps my hide big time.

That's 20 minutes LESS that she gets to be asked questions!!! And then of course can never be questioned by the panel again. Whitewash-but you never know what slips of the underpants might be showing that DR. Rice (cough cough) might not know are hanging out.
