Condi Busted on Her Own Personal State of Denial

A few hours ago, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that she can't recall then-CIA chief George Tenet warning her (two months before 9/11) that an Al Qaeda attack within the United States was impending, as Bob Woodward's State of Denial claims that Tenet did.

"What I am quite certain of is that I would remember if I was told, as this account apparently says, that there was about to be an attack in the United States, and the idea that I would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible," Rice said.

But now we learn (via the NYT):

A review of White House records has determined that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, did brief Condoleezza Rice and other top officials on July 10, 2001, about the looming threat from Al Qaeda, a State Department spokesman said Monday.
The account by Sean McCormack came hours after Ms. Rice, the secretary of state, told reporters aboard her airplane that she did not recall the specific meeting on July 10, 2001, noting that she had met repeatedly with Mr. Tenet that summer about terrorist threats. Ms. Rice, the national security adviser at the time, said it was “incomprehensible” she ignored dire terrorist threats two months before the Sept. 11 attacks.
Mr. McCormack also said records show that the Sept. 11 commission was informed about the meeting, a fact that former intelligence officials and members of the commission confirmed on Monday.
Whoops.

STATE OF DENIAL BEFORE AND AFTER 9-11

Note: They, these and their refer to: George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz...and all others who knew the Truth when they concealed and covered up the Truth.

They lied before and they lied after.
They are lying now.
They are liars.
Liars are traitors if they lie to their country and citizens.
They promised under oath to defend the United States of America.
They DID NOT.
They promised under oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.
They HAVE NOT.
These liars should be charged with treason.
If not now, then after they leave public office.
The sooner and the better for the restoration of our nation's reputation, for the salvation of our soldiers, and for putting an end to the theft of our national treasury.
The monstrous painting was a mere cartoon until now.
Before 9-11 they knew about the threats and impending plans of Al-Qaeda.
They sat on their hands.
They went on vacation.
They ignored the threats.
Now they blame others.
After 9-11 they lied.
They lied when they told the world that Iraq was a threat.
They lied. They lied. They lied.
And now their lies are being uncovered from a dark, dirty and treasonous tomb.
It is time for voting these liars out of office!
The ship of state is (and was) in peril because of these liars.

You lefties are nothing but sickwads with your half baked twisted lies but hey it's not my party that's the minotiry. Keep up the great work Repubs will be the majority for good!
By the way why didn't your hero Bill Clinton AKA Mr. Meltdown take UBL on one of the several offerings? Oh that's right Bubbas little voices told him not to.

Libsrnuts, go put your blinders back on, and drink some more of that Kool-Aid.

I'd like to know *when* the Repubs "will be the majority for good". They've been the majority for several years now, and it's *all* been for bad.
