Condoleza Rice-Sect. of State?
Dear Editor:
National Security Advisor, Condi Rice, in her testimony before the Senate committee that is questioning her on her nomination as Secretary of State, continuously says she feels badly about the faulty information on Iraq’s WMDs that she passed on to the president. In answer to Senator Barbara Boxer’s questioning about her honesty on the matter, she snapped back that she did not appreciate the senator questioning her honesty. I can understand that.
But then of course, if she was not dishonest about the information she must have been incapable of knowing truth from fiction. She can’t have it both ways. Was she dishonest or incapable? Did she make the intelligence fit the needs of the president or just not up to the position she was in? This is an important question for there are over 1,300 American service people dead and tens of thousands maimed, partly because of her advice to the president.
And now she wants to be Secretary of State?
