That attitude, says Marcus Mabry in his new biography of the secretary of state, has seriously harmed the United States.
  • Just another liar

    I am always amazed how women enable the Current Occupant, be it Laura, Karen Hughes, Condi, Harriet Miers, etc. I always thought women hated the smirking fratboy, but these women seem to embrace him. Mystery.

    With Condi, I realized early on that you had to assume she was lying so matter what she said, culminating in the famous quote in April 2002 that the administration had no idea Al Qaida might use commercial airliners as guided missiles. Yet every CIA report since 1995 mentioned that very possibility and even listed the potential targets including the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. "Secretary Rice, were you lying or didn't you read the reports?"

    January 2009 can't come fast enough to get these true believers out and get some people in who have doubts in their minds. Doubt forces debate. Debate clarifies the issue. Clarified issues usually don't become disasters.
