They forgot WMDs already?

She’s either extremely ignorant or helped in a coverup. Either way she’s not even close to being qualified.

Is the article about Rice in TreeHugger true? If so, then Rice cannot be considered for secretary of state. She has a conflict of interest based on her major investments in oil and gas.

First: I’m trying to figure out what the position of Secretary of State has to do with having investments in the oil industry.

Second, I went and looked at the site you listed and read a couple of their articles. I would look at their credibility with considerable skepticism because of their extreme environmental agenda.

Let’s see…. Condoleezza Rice was Sec of State, and her ties to Big Oil weren’t a problem….
…………………………
“In 1992, Shultz, who was a board member of Chevron Corporation, recommended Rice for a spot on the Chevron board. Chevron was pursuing a $10 billion development project in Kazakhstan and, as a Soviet specialist, Rice knew the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev. She traveled to Kazakhstan on Chevron’s behalf and, in honor of her work, in 1993, Chevron named a 129,000-ton supertanker SS Condoleezza Rice.”

Why is the “you have been hijacked by extremist elements” pointing in the wrong direction?
masterskrain said, 7 months ago
@Mark
Because no one who IS an extremist thinks that they ARE extremists!
Your average tea-bagger really thinks that they are right, and they don’t know that most of the country is laughing at them.

The GOP is assuming that Susan Rice is the natural replacement for Hillary. If they can sink her possible nomination, then John Kerry might leave his Senate job to take the Sec of State position, opening up a vacancy in Massachusetts that Scott Brown would fill.
……………………..
John Kerry, who was swiftboated and called names 24/7 on FOX during his run for president, is suddenly the best man to represent the country, according to every critic of Rice. Every Republican says they will block Susan Rice, but then they curiously mention, how they would easily pass Kerry as Sec of State. This is too well rehearsed not to be political.

1) She was given that information by the CIA and told "This is what we need you to say. She was doing her job as a diplomat
2) Colin Powell KNEW he was lying when he gave the WMD speech at the UN – why no anger about that? It led to the deaths of thousands of American kids and 10s of thousands of Iraqis

Given the way things played out, I would say that Condoleeza Rice’s ties to the energy companies were indeed a problem. (Imagine that!) Do we want another energy puppet as S of S?
Mind you, I also question the credibility of that website.

Some politicians are very angry they lost an election.
She is the sacrificial goat on the alter of their anger.

I guess we shouldn’t “Question Authority” after all . . . if its a Democrat at least.

If she was given false information to report to the public and she didn’t know it was false, she was offered up as a sacrificial goat.

The Admin. wants the narrative to be about what happened AFTER the attack. The real questions should be about what happened before and during the attack.
How was Obama involved?

I have the same skepticism towards lame stream liberal media.
