Condoleezza Rice on the Moment She Thought President Bush Could Have Been Poisoned
Source: ABC News

It was just a few weeks after September 11, 2001 when Condoleezza Rice accompanied the president on a trip to China for the APEC summit. In Shanghai Vice President Cheney appeared on a secure video conference line and delivered President George W. Bush this message:

“The Vice President came on the screen and said that the White House detectors have detected botulinum toxin, and we were all– those of who exposed were going to die,” Rice told me.

He said that?

“Yes, he said that. And I remember everybody just sort of freezing, and the President saying, ‘What was that? What was that, Dick?’” Rice, who was the National Security Advisor at the time, said.

5. "everybody just sort of freezing, and the President saying, ‘What was that? What was that, Dick?"
That right there sums up the entire presidency of George W. Bush.

7. Dick is a COWARD!
When my son was in Afghanistan, the dick came for a visit. He and all other personnel were told to stay in their offices or rooms an lock the doors. And the explosion that happened was on the other side od Bagram Air base. Something like 3 or more miles away! The dick was afraid of our troops! A despicable piece of human garbage!

12. Oh, poisoned...
The title on the front page left that word off.

I thought this thread was about the time Condoleeza Rice thought President Bush could have been her hus...band. :P

And yes, Dick Cheney has always been a paranoid coward. What is popularly known as a "bully" these days. Pathetic!

13. They were fine, but...
Cheney threw the White House Chef into Guantanamo Bay and beat him in the kidneys with rubber truncheons for eight years "just to be safe".
