[skooooo]

1. woodward...

[Jivenwail]

[freetobegay]

2. Thats a no brainer!

[laruemtt]

[neoteric lefty]

4. do you even have to ask...

There was a day when I had respect for Rice but after the 9/11 hearings, her constant "Rove" bull-rush at anyone criticizing the boy emperor and all the revelations about how slow she was before 9/11 to make terrorist attacks a priority, I don't even pity her anymore.

5. Woodward

[trumad]

6. neither

The truth is much worse than we know!

[Disturbed]

7. Woodward

And he learned his lesson well from Watergate . He has tapes to back up his interviews Of course there is more info. that will surface from the mire.

[Tellurian]

8. Condi has NO credibility. At least Woodward has a conscience...

he put his money where his mouth is!

[papau]

9. Dog and pony show to put $700 m treason on table to be ignored

before we get close to election.

The Reagan Treason was similiar with Contra monies - and our press ran away, saying Reagan's Justice Department would chase if a law was broken - yeah, right.

Now Woodward is smirking that he is not a lawyer - he is just reporting - as Rove gets this possible bad political fact out of the way early in the game.

I expect a few - "of course he planned for Iraq war, he would be impeachable if he had not", and "As Commamder in Chief he can move monies about to save the United States (believe it our not - the Reagan GOP had this one going for 6 months as Dems pointed out the cost of a 600 mile taxi ride to the Texas border by a single Sandinista revolutionary). And I expect our media to kiss GOP ass again.

12. No, it doesn't

Condoleeza Rice is a serial liar, and a traitor to the true values on which America was founded. Period.

15. Hi birdbrain!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Kahuna]

13. What do you mean? If you're impling that Rice will not..

be believed because she is a black woman you couldn't be more wrong. Rice will not be believed because she is a proven liar.

[lumpy]

14. Implied rascism is

not in keeping with the times. Get real. Slavery, the Holocaust, Women's Rights and all those evil societal ills does not an honest person make. Skin color or gender is no argument for a person's personal ideology.

11. Except for Condi...The WH hasn't denied not telling Powell..

"Ms. Rice, who appeared on three of the Sunday morning news programs, denied that Mr. Bush had kept Mr. Powell in the dark about the president's thinking on a possible invasion of Iraq.

In his book, Mr. Woodward said that at the request of Mr. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, even briefed Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, on the American war plans two days before telling Mr. Powell.

Mr. Cheney and Mr. Rumsfeld used a top-secret war map, supposedly off-limits to foreigners, to describe the administration's plan, the book contends."

[grasswire]

16. look at the transcript

Schieffer: So he (Powell) knew that Bandar was being told?

"Rice: So he -- we -- I certainly knew, and I suspect that Colin would not have been surprised going through the Gulf War experience that one of the allies that you had to be certain understood what might happen if the president decided to go to war was the Saudis."

17. Does Condi live at the FAUX studio or is there a FAUX studio in the

in the White House?

Anyone that goes on FAUX News as much as Condi does can be too creditable

18. woodward...

...for the past 30 years he's gone out of his way to uphold the tenants of journalism. A rarity in the US. He's worked very hard in his career to remain neutral, factual, and non-partisan in his work. He also works very hard to separate his personal beliefs when in the voting booth from his work in public as a reporter and editor.

Woodward is one of the best journalists ever, and he's a treasure to have in America.
