Rice Offered to Resign Following Bush's 2004 Re-Election

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she offered to resign as President Bush’s National Security Adviser as part of a broader house-cleaning following the president’s re-election in 2004.

"I did tell the president at one point that I thought maybe all of us should go, because we had fought two wars and we ... had the largest terrorist attack in American history," Rice disclosed Sunday night while en route to the Mideast.

"And when he asked me to be secretary of state, I said, 'I think maybe — maybe you need new people.' " She did not say what the president's immediate response was.

Fielding questions aboard her plane, Rice strenuously denied a claim in Bob Woodward's new book, "State of Denial," that her relations with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld once deteriorated to the point where Bush had to intervene to ensure Rumsfeld would return Rice's calls.

2. If she were honorable, based on past performance

she would've been out the door and would be serving the poor in Calcutta as atonement for her grievous sins. Instead, she took a promotion. :puke:

4. Is not this quote just too ironic?

"Rice strenuously denied a claim in Bob Woodward's new book, "State of Denial,"

Hahaha, the point of the book is that they deny everything. Shes just doing what the book say she should do, or what you would expect she would do.
