1. Oh, yeah, bigtime
Joe Biden was on one of the gabfests yesterday. He met with Bush and Cheney and demanded Rummy be fired. Then added that if Cheney weren't a constitutionally elected official, he'd ask that Cheney be fired too. That stunned them. He said to Bush, has either of them told you ONE SINGLE THING about Iraq that turned out to be right?

I loved it.

Then they had a White House shill on who said Condi only vaguely remembered meeting with Tenet, even though it was an emergency meeting.

3. But we would like to talk about those Clinton Administrations
officials who didn't take bin Ladin seriously.

4. "Rice: No memory of CIA warning of attack" -

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061002/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/rice


SHANNON, Ireland - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she cannot recall then- CIA chief George Tenet warning her of an impending al-Qaida attack in the United States, as a new book claims he did two months before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

"What I am quite certain of is that I would remember if I was told, as this account apparently says, that there was about to be an attack in the United States, and the idea that I would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible," Rice said.

Rice was President Bush's national security adviser in 2001, when Bob Woodward's book "State of Denial" outlines a July 10 meeting among Rice, Tenet and the CIA's top counterterror officer.

"I don't know that this meeting took place, but what I really don't know, what I'm quite certain of, is that it was not a meeting in which I was told there was an impending attack and I refused to respond," Rice said.

6. She Can't Imagine Any Such Conversation Taking Place
It's not just that she doesn't recall, xultar. It's that she can't even IMAGINE that she had such a conversation with Tenet.

8. Ahhh she couldn't have imagined that the CIA Director would call her
in advance of a PDB entitled Bin Laden Determined to Strike In the US.
