I don't even know how to feel about this one. On one hand, it makes me hate Rumsfeld even more, and on the other, it makes me think Condi is even weaker than we always suspected.

I actually think I lean slightly towards sympathizing with her. Lord knows I'd have inevitably punched the guy if I'd had to spend any amount of time with him.

1. sounds like tenet was the cherry on the cake of her day

"On finding Mr Rumsfeld absent from a second meeting, CIA director George Tenet was so angry that he defied a direct order from Miss Rice to sit down and marched out of the meeting, declaring: "This is bullshit."

"The book goes on: "Something happened to Rice's face, control melting away. Her eyes welled up and her next words caught in her throat. The men in the room did not know where to look.

i wouldn't feel too sorry for her--she's a major motherfucker like the rest of them.

2. nope... don't feel too bad for her at all

this is what happens when you're dealing with world class egomaniacal assholes, and she was no better than any of the rest. it does underline what bullies they were though, not like thats any surprise.

3. No sympathy for Condi here.

As far as I'm concerned, she should spend every hour of every day she has left weeping scalding hot tears of shame for helping Bush wreck our country.

And honestly, that's the LEAST punishment she deserves. In a just world, she'd be doing her crying inside a jail cell serving a life sentence.

4. Condi always sounds like she's about to burst into tears anyway.

She has that horrible weak quavery voice. It sounds like her lower lip is constantly trembling. As well it should be, considering what she's done.

5. Can hardly wait to get to that book, but I'm halfway thru 7 Pillars of Wisdom &

if I start leaving half-read books around, they start piling up.


QUOTE FROM T.E. LAWRENCE, "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom," Anchor Books Edition, paper, p. 188: "...until a comparison of Kuhne and Foch disgusted me with soldiers, wearied me of their officious glory, making me critical of all their light."

7. Yup looks to be a particularly interesting read.

I wonder what other little nuggets like this will spill out of it.

6. Fuck her. I wouldn't have had respect for her either. Cold War relic.
