Yesterday morning, at 9.40 a.m., Senator Barbara Boxer listed fact after fact, in statements by Conde Rice, that showed she contradicted herself time and again about Al Qaeda, about Saddam and his alleged WMD’s, and his intentions--all of which led us to war against Iraq. Boxer went on to show that Conde Rice, even more recently, was caught lying the more by contradicting statements by the CIA’s intelligence reports and contradicting statements by President Bush. In all instances, Boxer showed quotes from Rice to make her points.
In her response to Boxer, Rice sputtered and lied even more. She refused to respond to the facts that Boxer pointed out, instead she kept saying that her integrity and credibility were under question and that she resented this; this was clearly folly and a liar's farce. Clearly, Ms. Rice was shown to be a liar and an immoral person—not caring about those who have been killed in this Iraq war, this war that was clearly built on lies. The more she talked about her reputation for honesty in the face of her lies, the stranger she sounded--as if she, like Bush, was out of touch with reality.
Among the contradictions that Senator Boxer pointed out were: 1. Rice said that Al Qaeda areas had shrunk; Boxer pointed out that Al Qaeda now had more lands in which it was operating than before the war on Iraq; 2. Rice said that the war was not about WMD’s or atomic weapons; Boxer pointed out that the congress supported the war on Iraq based on fear of WMD’s and atomic weapons that the administration claimed existed; 3. Rice said that Saddam had worked with Al Qaeda; Boxer pointed out that Saddam and Bin Laden were enemies and did not cooperate; 4. Rice said we’d made progress in the Arab and Muslims worlds; Boxer pointed out that there was more anger against America in Muslim and Arab lands since the invasion of Iraq, not less—this according to the CIA’s own intelligence bureau and the president’s own committee on combating terrorism; 5. Rice said that Al Qaeda was now more under control; Boxer pointed out that every governmental agency that has looked at the situation has made clear that Al Qaeda has appealed to more jihadist Muslims than anyone had ever imagined. Thus, Bin Laden’s hope had come true, America's attack on Iraq proved to most Arabs and Muslimst that America was attacking and desiring to take-over Arab and Muslim lands. Boxer made other points, but these are among the most important that showed Rice to either be a liar or an incompetent.
During this time, Rice would quote Bush when she felt it was helpful, but even then Boxer pointed out when she contradicted the president when it suited her self-defense (especially with reference to Saddam and his alleged “nuclear weapons”, his infamous aluminum tubes and his “nuclear facilities.”)
Rice kept saying that she did not want her credibility impugned—Senator Boxer then stated, “I am but quoting your own contradictions.” For any sane person listening to the comments, it was clear that Conde Rice has no credibility, no integrity and is not fit to hold an office as important as Secretary of State.
And then John Kerry says that her nomination is all but assured. We officially live in bizarro world...
