Condoleeza Rice: Worse NSA Ever?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

After thinking about this, its a wonder that rice hasnt been asked to resign yet. It was under her watch as NSA, that al qaeda attacked america. it was her job to protect america, and she failed miserably by not listening to her counterrorist chief Clark, and by ignoring 'al qaeda determined to strike within the US.'

her job was the protect america, and she didnt do it. the last time americ was attacked on its own soil was 1942. thats a long time ago. everyone else did their jobs. she failed.

She doesn't seem all that sure of herself as Secretary of State, either. At least Maddie Albriecht had some cahones.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

is she the least qualified person in the admin (besides the alcoholic-cocaine-sniffing-draft-dodger guy named dubya)

[chequita guevara]

Well, this Admin seems to have a wealth of underqualified staff at the top. Condie, however, is definately near the top.

[Ted Striker]

She sucks in general

Another relic left behind in 1980s Cold War thinking

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Condie, however, is definately near the top.

even i coulda figured out that 'al qaeda determined to strike in US' shoulda been looked at. add to it the fact that clark was constantly trying to get her attention, and the fact that clinton told them what al qaeda was the biggest threat, and the fact that al qaeda had attacked US targets all around the world, and you realize that she might have had a phd is nuclear whatever, but she has no leadership skills, or intuition.

I don't know if she's more underqualified than Gonzales. I could doctor a less pitiful legal justification for torture than him.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Hindsight is always perfect.

so true - but so should be the NSA's foresight!

Figuring it out and stopping it are two different things, you think the American people would have agreed to the measures nessacery to stop 9/11 *BEFORE* 9/11??

Probably just arresting a few people.

Probably just arresting a few people.

You probably aren't familiar with this concept, but you need a reason to arrest people in the United States.

As long as they're not "enemey combatants."

[DanS]

Her recent European trip was generally well received.

As for NSA, that's a tombstone job. Very tough in the best of times. She did tolerably well. Much better than Berger.

[Drake Tungsten]

I don't think any of the "enemy combatants" were arrested in America or held on American soil.
