ON CNN now:Rice " Clarke's testimony scurilous"
Edited on Wed Mar-24-04 05:38 PM by ewagner
John King coming (breathlessly) from a press briefing by Rice...says Rice released an e-mail refuting Clarke's testimony.

No links yet but this dog fight "ain't over"!

11. What did her email say?
Did Condi Rice call Clarke a big poopyhead?

Because, so far, that's about all the refutations of the facts that the White House has been able to muster.

Pathetic.

4. They are going to turn Bullshit into gold
The e-mail was nothing! Nothing that rises to the level of Clarkes charges. The question is how long will this story stay out there and how much will the whores play of his testimony.

18. Is the term bitch really needed here?
It's pretty degrading to women regardless of their politics.

29. Actually, I wear the label proudly -
Have a t-shirt that says "You call me a bitch like it's a bad thing". I worked in a male dominated career. Men get called "assertive", women get called "agressive" or bitch for the exact same behavior.
Go figure :eyes:

45. I agree that "bitch" is an unfriendly term.
By the way, have you been over to Free Republic lately? Did you notice that somebody posted that they wouldn't mind "if Clarke took a bullet" for his recent statements?

Or the other day, when somebody said that they wished that the Vietkong had broken Senator McCain's neck instead of just his arms?

I am curious to know if you are going to take the posters at Free Republic to task for their comments about murdering people, since you are concerned about derogatory comments directed at Ms. Rice.

7. Condi: No facts, just insults against Clarke
Does Condi have any FACTS or EVIDENCE she presented to support her insults.

NO. Of course not.

She issued a flame from her office. Nothing more substantial than that. Who cares.

9. As I said on a related thread...
At this point, Condi must either

(1) step up to the plate, put her HAND ON THE BIBLE, and testify, right now

-or-

(2) shut the f*ck up, right now

21. The e-mail was from Clarke written Sept 15
He said to her that he was concerned people would say the Bushies didn't do enough before 9/11, and he listed for her things he did like contacting FAA, FBI, etc.

35. Easier to get all your points together from the "public" hearings of
the truth-speakers.

Then you have time to spin them, and not do it in front of a "live audience" nationwide.

Especially when somebody could stand up and point out the 3.5 tonnes of BULLSHIT they applied to the pound of truth that hurt their side.

should get no more AIR TIME for rebuttal until she goes before the commission in public under oath to testify.

42. Yes, yes, as you said.
She seems to be all over the media making statements except the one place where an oath is involved. We all know what scurrilious means. But in case you don't, it means being vulgar and evil. Seems to fit her boss no??

23. You wanna talk scurrilous, Condi?
From BuzzFlash - http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/03/edi04020.html

"It staggers the mind that they could get away with this transparent, nonsensical, lie. Condi admitted that Bush was warned about potentially imminent hijackings the source of the 9/11 attacks -- and that he did nothing to prevent these hijackings: nothing! That is the bottom line, period. Remember that Condi Rice is the source of this information, not BuzzFlash. ("White House officials acknowledged that U.S. intelligence officials informed President Bush weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks that bin Laden's terrorist network might try to hijack American planes." (.)"

and

"George Bush himself admitted to Bob Woodward that he wasn't that interested in bin Laden or al Qaeda prior to 9-11....

From Woodward's book, "Bush at War," page 39:


"Untill September 11, however, Bush had not put that thinking into practice, nor had he pressed the issue of bin Laden. Though Rice and others were developing a plan to eliminate al Qaeda, no formal recommendations had ever been presented to the president.

"I know there was a plan in the works. . . . I don't know how mature the plan was," Bush recalled. . . .He acknowledged that bin Laden was not his focus or that of his national security team. There was a significant difference in my attitude after September 11. I was not on point , but I knew he was a menace, and I knew he was a problem."

HELLLOOO??? Condi? Anybody in there? Besides Cheney's hand, that is...

So email THAT!

And while we are at it, email CNN with it, too

27. At least Clarke took
responsibility and testified before the American people.

Rice has some nerve - if she had a good story to tell, if she had a SINGLE concrete action she or her boss did prior to 9/11, she'd be out there testifying.

She's crying from the cheap seats. Figures.

30. Condi is free to rebutt Clarke in front of the commission and the world
but she's a big chickenshit and won't do it.

I find her attitude disgustingly insulting to the American people.

43. Condi is on Rove's chopping block
These responses are Condi's last gasps for air. Poor thing, Rove has her running around doing all the dirty work for the administration. And truthfully, when she ceases to be politically useful, Rove will "off" her. Nothing like making a few heads roll to quell the demands for accountability. ....I hope she writes a tell-all.

doesn't really say anything -- but i have an e-mail.

ya know if she'd really been listening to what clarke said -- she would not have coming running out with that e-mail. it's a really lame refutation when you consider what clarke said to the 9-11 families.

51. She has no choice but to fight like hell, her neck/face is on the line.
Noted absense is the plan of what they did with his warnings.

Now, their is a Pub Senator who is saying Clarle was expected to have plans but didn't/

If you were the Prez and the architect did NOT produce plans for something, wouldn't you find a way to get some plans? The point being, the Pubs are all on track to kill the messenger.
