"The White House said President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, was informed within the past month that the explosives were missing. It is unclear whether President Bush was informed. American officials have never publicly announced the disappearance, but beginning last week they answered questions about it posed by The New York Times and the CBS News program "60 Minutes.""

1. Maybe 60 Minutes will sit on the story

Too highly charged of a story to have this close to an election.

[krkaufman]

11. Or maybe it's big enough that it will get them to broadcast...

... the yellowcake story, too.

2. She should be prosecuted NOW!

She belongs in jail, then we go after the rest of the pack:
Wolfowitz
Feth
Rumsfeld
Cheney
then the chimp himself

4. Yeah this story has legs all over it.

This was a big bomb (pardon the pun) against Bush today.

She should have lost her job when she said "... I believe it was entitled 'Bin Ladden Determined to Strike America'" So, your cry, is long over due, IMO.

I fuckin' hate Condi. She's part of the triptych of gender traitors (and race traitors in her case)

The other two women associated with the chimp that make me spit obscenities in front of small children are Kathrine Harris and Ann Coulter.

15. Alas,I thought she was accountable on 9/12. n/t

[IChing]

6. duh, I thought after 9-11 n/t why so late?

[Roland99]

7. Isn't that about the time she started hitting the Sunday shows heavily?

What a fucking incompetent whore!

[shraby]

10. We don't want any of them arrested yet....

if they are, Bush will pardon everyone. Wait for retribution after Kerry takes his oath of office. Then let the games begin.

[Roland99]

14. Pfffft...those investigations/trials would take forever as long as Shrub

rules the White House.

Look how long PlameGate has been going on.

[Dob Bole]

8. "Seven Days........"

She's going to get that freaky phone call tomorrow.

[giant_robot]

9. Accountablity? In this White House?

I'm afraid all we can do is vote them out and hope for indictments.

[AirAmFan]

12. Even her 'husband' now s/b able to see she's GOT to go! Remember this?

We need a more 'reality-based' National Security Adviser. The press should ask her about THIS incident six months ago, too.

"Political Conversation: Condi's Slip...

By Deborah Schoeneman WITH SPENCER MORGAN April 26, 2004

A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller,

Rice was reportedly overheard saying, 'AS I WAS TELLING MY HUSB...' and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, 'As I was telling President Bush'. Jaws dropped, but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item. A National Security Council spokesman laughed and said, 'No comment.'

[Skidmore]

13. And that smarmy, evil Rumsfeld should exit

with her.

[wiggs]

16. The person put in charge of Iraq

As I remember, the State Department and Powell were put in charge of post-war Iraq some time ago. Condi should have lost her job a long time ago too, but this one is on the WH and Pentagon for allowing looting right after the invasion and on the State Department for continued looting up until recently.

Unbelievable. Every time there's an Al Queda or insurgent explosion over the next several years, the images of Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Powell, and Cheney should accompany the news story.
