It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie! (Condi's 60 Min transcript)
This particular part struck me the most:

"Given our relationship with Iraq - which was probably the most actively - hostile relationship in which we were involved I think that it's a perfectly - logical question when we looked to retaliation, yes, we asked the question given that this is a global war on terrorism, should we look - at other threats?"

Excuse me, but how could Iraq have been our most hostile relationship when it was Al Qaeda that had just attacked us? :eyes:

1. Hostile from the Bushies' point of view
Bushco felt much more hostility for Iraq than for Al Qaeda.

3. I agree with this statement by Condi:
"And the best thing that we can do for the memory of the victims, the best thing that we can do for the future of this country, is to focus on those who did this to us."

So why Iraq? Geezus, they talk in circles.

10. And at least five attended U. S. military schools...
...and that indicates that they were here as part of a foreign officer military exchange.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm"...

6. We were bombing them every day for twelve years prior to the war, I
would definitely say that was hostile. Let's get on to the Bush Crime Family's role in 9-11....completely unexplored terrority. Every reporter in the country knows about Bush flying out the bin Ladens and both bushes business relations with the bin Ladens, including the morning of, and nary a word about it.

8. The White House recanted, late Friday afternoon
and admitted the meeting took place because other witnesses backed up Clarke. Friday afternoons are always a good time for this administration to drop bombshells that get very little press.

9. Now you know why she can't possibly testify in
public and under oath-her pants would immediately burst into flames.
