�Condoleezza Rice is Unfit For Public Service�

Click to listen to her cousin, Connie Rice interview about Condoleezza

*"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile."-- Condoleezza Rice

*�There was no silver bullet that could have prevented the 11 September attacks. There was nothing demonstrating or showing that something was coming in the United States. If there had been something, we would have acted on it.�--Condoleezza Rice

I don�t have to show anyone anything to prove those two statements are complete and utter lies from a pathological liar. I, yes ME warned and knew an attack was coming on 9-11. She had been briefed and is a LIAR!! Ramsey Yousef had already been imprisoned and his plan that was carried out well known by the White House including National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice of all people. Why? It was her job to know and she did. This is just politics which most people deny exists in Washington DC just like they deny corruption occurs there and that everyone there is a patriotic public servant. I call on this disgrace to the Republic of the United States of America to resign as National Security Advisor and decline the job of Secretary of State. She is unfit to hold public office of any kind after her disgraceful display to her nation over the past 4 years.

This is by Margaret Kimberley:

On June 28, 2003 Dr. Condoleezza Rice, National Security Adviser, began talks with Israeli and Palestinian officials to promote the �roadmap to peace,� the latest in a long line of efforts at Middle East peace brokering by the United

States. As I watched her on the news I felt an inexplicable discomfort. I realized that my feelings resulted from a desire to be proud of the accomplishments of another black woman. Identifying with and being proud of the achievements of black people can be a wonderful source of self-affirmation, a means of casting aside the racism that gives credence to the worst assumptions made about us. But in the case of Condoleezza Rice and others, race pride can become a dangerous means of self-delusion.

Condoleezza Rice definitely lives up to the dictum that blacks must be twice as smart as whites in order to get to the same position. She is a Ph.D. and classically trained pianist. Vice President Cheney flunked out of Yale. But in 1990 when she served as an adviser to the first President Bush, Rice was physically shoved by a secret service agent while attempting to enter the White House. She was literally put back into her place. Incidents such as these make it difficult for those of us who want to move away from knee jerk support of prominent blacks. We know that we are always at risk of being knocked down a peg or two no matter how impressive our credentials or position.

It is undeniably significant that a black woman is one of the most powerful foreign policy advisers in the nation. But Dr. Rice is a foreign policy adviser to George W. Bush, the most cynical and dangerous president in the modern history of the United States. Condoleezza Rice, like the President, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Powell is responsible for an invasion of Iraq that has increased hatred in the Arab and Muslim world against the United States, ruined relationships with our allies, and destroyed the infrastructure of an already oppressed and impoverished land in order to benefit corporations with direct connections to the Bush administration.

My awareness of the lies told and wrongs committed by this president�s foreign policy team makes it impossible for me to feel any connection with Dr. Rice, pushing and shoving not withstanding. My opinion of her is no higher than my opinion of any other administration official. The elevation of Clarence Thomas and his ilk had long ago cured me of the habitual feeling of pride that comes when colored people make good. How many of us overlooked Thomas� very public support of conservative principles during his confirmation as a Supreme Court justice? �Well, I�d rather have a black conservative than a white one.� �He�ll probably be different once he gets on the bench.� �He has that job for life. He�ll change.� The memory of these desperate expressions of wishful thinking came flooding back to me when I read press accounts of Rice�s keynote address at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on August 7, 2003.

In her speech Rice repeated the usual mix of specious reasoning and suppositions stated as facts in defending the decision to invade Iraq. She also added a little pandering to a mostly black audience by noting the Bush proposal to spend $15 billion to fight HIV in Africa. She neglected to mention that congressional approval of the funding is far from certain and that the Bush allegiance to the religious right requires an abstinence based approach to HIV education that renders the funding worthless, assuming that it ever comes to fruition.

The speech probably would not have been worthy of discussion had she not added this little gem of self-serving hypocrisy.
"Like many of you, I grew up around the home-grown terrorism of the 1960s. The bombing of the church in Birmingham in 1963 is one that will forever be in my memory because one of the little girls who died was a friend of mine. Forty years removed from that tragedy, I can
honestly say that Denise McNair and others didn't die in vain. They and all who suffered and struggled for civil and human rights helped to reintroduce America to its founding ideals. And because of their sacrifice, America is a better nation and a better example to a world where difference is still often taken as a license to kill.
But knowing what we know about the difficulties of our own history, knowing what we know about how hard it is to build democracy, we need to be humble in singing freedom's praises.
But we should not let our voice waver in speaking out on the side of people who are seeking freedom. And we must never, ever indulge in the condescending voices who allege that some people in Africa or in the Middle East are just not interested in freedom, they're culturally just not ready for freedom or they just aren't ready for freedom's responsibilities.
We've heard that argument before, and we, more than any, as a people, should be ready to reject it. The view was wrong in 1963 in Birmingham, and it is wrong in 2003 in Baghdad and in the rest of the Middle East."

I don�t know anyone who protested against this war because they believed that Iraqis were not interested in democracy and freedom. I am certain that the Iraqi people wanted freedom in 1983 when the Reagan administration Middle East envoy, Donald Rumsfeld, met with our then friend Saddam Hussein. At that moment in history Iran was the bogeyman in the region and the United States government was all too pleased when Hussein invaded that nation. Rumsfeld was in Baghdad again in 1984 when the United Nations concluded that Iraq had used chemical weapons against Iranian military targets. No condemnation or protest was forthcoming from Mr. Rumsfeld or anyone else in the Reagan administration. In fact, American arms sales to the Iraqi regime increased. Saddam Hussein was an evil tyrant then, but because he was �our� evil tyrant we turned a blind eye when he started a war that resulted in the deaths of over one million Iraqis and Iranians.

I was initially dismayed at Rice�s attempt to link American imperialism with the human rights struggles of this country, but upon further reflection I was not at all surprised. The modus operandi of George W. Bush has always been to use black people at the most opportune moments. Are poll numbers falling? Bring Ugandan AIDS orphans to the White House. Is there a need to fool moderates into believing that you are indeed the compassionate conservative? Hold a Republican Party convention that features T.D. Jakes and Chaka Khan. What to do on those all too rare occasions when the Democrats find it within themselves to speak out against the administration? Visit a black church, school or community organization and create yet another photo opportunity with brown faces.

Fortunately for Mr. Bush there aren�t many people who will turn down the chance to meet a sitting president, even one they don�t like very much. It doesn�t even matter that they won�t vote for him. The photo opportunity isn�t for their benefit. The same racism that demonizes black people holds up our plight as the standard by which all injustice is judged. The reasoning goes that anyone who is kind to oppressed black people can�t be bad. This tacit admission of guilt is at the very least ironic and at the very worst an indictment of the sickness inherent in racism.

While Rice�s comments were not a surprise to Bush watchers they should not go unchallenged. Does she really believe that those who opposed the war in Iraq are comparable to those who kill innocent children to further the cause of white supremacy?
Why should anyone be humble in singing freedom�s praises? Poor Condi Rice and company are left unable to sing about freedom or little else because our Iraq policy was based on lies and is now such an obvious failure. It is difficult for the Bush administration to build democracy in Iraq because that was never their true intention. Had they been serious about bringing freedom to Iraqis instead of profits to Halliburton we would have involved the United Nations and Arab nations in bringing about positive change. Instead we have both the sorry spectacle of continued killings of Iraqi civilians and American troops and of a National Security Adviser making ridiculous statements.

Denise McNair 1951-1963

As for the martyred Denise McNair, she and the other children killed by American evil doers deserve better than to be used as cover for the worst that America has to offer. As an aside, I have always found it offensive when victims like Denise McNair are described as having �sacrificed� or �given their lives.� Miss McNair�s life was taken from her. People who in all probability called themselves Christians murdered her in her church. The only thing crueler is for people in power to evoke her name when telling us that peace is war and freedom is slavery.

Hon. Condoleezza Rice
National Security Advisor
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
April 9, 2004
Dear Ms. Rice:
I am writing to communicate four points regarding your testimony yesterday under oath before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
Point #1: You are a liar.
Attorney General Ashcroft sits on the National Security Council. Warned by his FBI security detail, the head of law enforcement for the United States knew to avoid commercial airlines on September 11, 2001.
It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the people who flew on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, United Airlines Flight 93 and American Airlines Flight 77 had the benefit of the same warnings as those they paid to protect us.
You knew. You kept silent. They died.
You had numerous warnings of the risks of 9-11 � sufficient to let the American people know and use their best judgment as to how to protect themselves from a possible attack. It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center had the knowledge they needed to evacuate their building upon seeing the North Tower hit by a plane.
You knew. You kept silent. They died.
Point #2: Your motives are transparent.
The World Trade Center is in the heart of New York City � one of the great financial capitals of the world. The Pentagon is in the heart of Washington � the appropriation and accounting capital for the US federal budget and credit and the US Treasury � the largest issuer of securities in the world.
Unlike many other terrorist attacks, these attacks killed people whose family, friends and neighbors understand how these financial systems work. Victim families, friends and the residents of the communities directly harmed can calculate who made money on 9-11 profiteering. They can trace the flow of money into the 2004 Presidential campaign coffers from the profits your supporters made as a result of 9-11 profiteering. They can calculate how 9-11 profiteering connects to the financing and silence of corporate media.
Those personally impacted and the global researchers they network with have the intellectual power and personal courage to ask and answer, "Cui Bono?" (Who Benefits?) They understand that your success as National Security Advisor is as a direct result of your failure to stop 9-11. They can see how your lies about 9-11 made money for the investment syndicate that put you in power and for the buyers of US Treasury securities who are so richly paid to finance the US military, intelligence and enforcement apparatus and the defense contractors and oil interests it serves.
All the campaign ads in the world can not now convince the American people that you have their best interests at heart.
Point #3: You are going down.
The richest and most powerful people in the world pay for performance. They pay you to make the US governmental apparatus look legitimate while they use it to centralize economic and political power. That means they need liars who are better at lying than you.
The myth that you had no idea that Americans deserved to be warned about the risks of flying or planes being used as weapons is now in the dust heap with the notion that the United States attacked Iraq and our soldiers are dying to protect us from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
Your lies of 9-11 � like your lies about the Iraqi war � have been profitable for the military-banking complex you represent. These lies, however, have not misled the crowd. The American people and global citizens are looking for the truth. We demand the changes that will give meaning and honor to those who died on 9-11 and in the ensuing wars. We demand an end to further bloodshed. We demand a refund of all that you and your backers have stolen from those of us who remain alive.
Point #4: You are guilty of criminal gross negligence.
If you want to catch a terrorist today, you need look no further than your own mirror.
Many Americans gather this weekend to give thanks that Jesus died for our sins and gave us the covenant of grace. In the spirit of our Lord's crucification and resurrection, may God have mercy on your soul.
Sincerely Yours,
Catherine Austin Fitts

Ms. Rice is well known to be as arrogant as President Bush whom himself mirrors President Wilson in being such a pig headed fool (Wilson was a horrible President). Now her job will be to conduct herself with foreign dignitaries, etc. This is not what she is best suited for job duty wise and now after being a miserable failure over the past 4 years it makes one wonder. Even Brent Scowcroft has harshly criticized her poor judgement and this comes from her friend a foreign policy and security expert. I also have to say it is absurd at the calls for Rice for a run at President or Vice President in 2008. The south will NEVER elect a black, let alone a WOMAN President. As much as that displeases me,the reality is that the south is so utterly racist. White neighborhoods still vote Republican and black vote Democrat. Sad but true and this goes way back with no end in sight.

Bottom line: Accountability, Dr. Rice presided over the two worst intelligence failures in American history as National Security Advisor.

�I really consider myself a student of the game. I find the strategy and tactics absolutely fascinating. I find the evolution of the game really interesting. Again, as it relates to military history. Military history has swung back and forth between advantage to the offence and advantage to the defense. When the offence has the advantage, then a new technology will come along that will temporarily give the defense the advantage and vice versa. Football has that kind of pattern, too.�--Condoleezza Rice

�Would you, Lori, like to hear an apology from Dr.Rice? I know many families were quite moved when richard Clarke apologized and said �we failed you�. Having said that, would you like
an apology today?�--NBC�s Katie Couric to 9/11 widow Lori Van Auken

"We need a common enemy to unite us."--National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice

We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.--President John F. Kennedy
